Dual Xeon barebone server
The MSI S1205-01 is a 1U server barebone designed for dual 4th/5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors. It provides 32 DIMM slots across eight channels running at 5600MT/s with support for RDIMM and 3DS modules. Twelve NVMe/SATA hybrid hot-swap drive bays offer high-density storage in a compact rack form factor.
Installation notes
The unit includes a CRPS redundant 1300W power supply and supports three PCIe add-on cards for expansion. Flexible LAN options accommodate both standard PCIe and OCP 3.0 NIC modules. Dual BIOS and BMC features assist with remote management and firmware recovery during deployment and ongoing maintenance.
Who this suits
Organisations building dense compute or storage nodes for virtualisation, databases, or high-performance workloads will benefit from the processor density and drive count. Buyers who need more than three PCIe slots or require a different power envelope should evaluate alternative chassis configurations.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the dual Xeon processors are operating at the full 5600MT/s memory speed after setup?
Enter the BIOS or BMC interface during boot and verify the memory configuration shows 8-channel operation at 5600MT/s across all 32 DIMM slots populated with compatible RDIMM or 3DS modules.
What components are included with the S1205-01 barebone and what must I purchase separately?
The barebone includes the chassis, motherboard with dual BIOS and BMC, 12 NVMe/SATA hot-swap drive bays, three PCIe add-on card slots, and a redundant 1300W CRPS power supply; you must supply dual Xeon processors, memory modules, storage drives, and any OCP 3.0 or PCIe network cards.
Which version of the S321 series should I choose if I need maximum storage density in a 1U form factor?
The S1205-01 model provides 12 NVMe/SATA hybrid hot-swap bays in a 1U chassis, making it the highest-density storage option in this barebone line for dual Xeon configurations.
