Gigabyte R243-EG0-AAL1 2U Rack Server Barebone, Single SP6, AMD EPYC 8004, 12x DDR5, 12x 3.5 inch Hot-Swap, 2x 10GbE, Redundant 850W

The Gigabyte R243-EG0 (rev. AAL1) is a high-performance 2U rackmount server barebone designed for demanding data center and enterprise workloads. Built around the AMD EPYC 8004 Series (Siena) processor platform with a single SP6 socket, it delivers exceptional compute density and energy efficiency. This barebone includes the chassis, motherboard, cooling, and redundant power supply, but requires separate installation of CPU, memory, and storage.

Advantages

Optimized for AMD EPYC 8004 processors, the R243-EG0 offers 12 DDR5 RDIMM slots supporting up to 3TB of memory, ensuring ample capacity for virtualization, database, and HPC applications. With 12 hot-swap drive bays (3.5"/2.5") supporting SATA/SAS and optional NVMe, plus internal M.2 slots, it provides flexible storage configurations. Dual 10GbE LAN via Intel X710-AT2 and a dedicated 1GbE management port enable high-speed networking and remote management.
