GIGABYTE R164-AG0-AAV1 1U Rack Server, Single Socket SP5, AMD EPYC 9004, 12x DDR5, 4x 3.5 inch Hot-Swap, 2x 800W Redundant PSU

Data centers grappling with dense virtualization and cloud workloads need compute power that doesn't compromise on rack space or reliability. The GIGABYTE R164-AG0-AAV1 answers that call with a single-socket AMD EPYC 9004 platform in a compact 1U chassis, delivering up to 96 cores, PCIe Gen5 throughput, and redundant power in a footprint built for scale-out efficiency.

Who is it for

This server targets enterprise IT teams running virtualization clusters, hyper-converged infrastructure, private clouds, and edge deployments. It's equally suited to high-performance computing tasks that demand massive memory bandwidth and low-latency storage without expanding beyond a single rack unit.

Main features

• Single Socket SP5 (LGA-7529) supporting AMD EPYC 9004 series processors (Genoa, Bergamo, Siena)
• 12 DDR5 DIMM slots for up to 3TB of memory at 4800MHz, enabling large in-memory databases and VDI
• Four 3.5" hot-swap drive bays for SATA/SAS storage, with optional RAID via add-on controller
• Dual 800W 80 PLUS Platinum redundant power supplies for uninterrupted operation
• PCIe Gen5 expansion: one FHFL x16 slot and one OCP 3.0 x16 slot for high-speed networking or accelerators
• Integrated dual 1GbE LAN (Intel I350-AM2) plus dedicated management port with ASPEED AST2600 BMC
• Remote management via IPMI 2.0 and KVM over IP for lights-out administration

Tips

Pair this server with 256GB RDIMMs to reach the 3TB memory ceiling for memory-hungry analytics. For high-availability storage, populate all four bays with enterprise SATA SSDs and configure software RAID or add a hardware RAID card in the PCIe slot. Use the OCP 3.0 slot for a 25GbE or 100GbE NIC to eliminate bottlenecks in clustered environments.
