R163-ZG2-AAJ2: high-density 1U node for production environments
This GIGABYTE chassis is a single-socket 1U rack server powered by an AMD EPYC processor (9005 / 9004 series). It combines compute power, DDR5 memory and up to 12 Gen5 NVMe bays in a compact form factor. Designed for virtualization, Ceph clusters, high-performance backup and lightweight AI workloads with a dual-slot PCIe Gen5 GPU.
DynFi assembles the system in France to your specifications or bill of materials (BOM). The server is delivered ready for integration, with 480 GB M.2 NVMe drives dedicated to the OS.
Typical use cases
- Proxmox VE compute node, standalone or in a cluster
- Ceph node / high-density NVMe storage
- High-performance backup server (PBS or another solution)
- GPU node: 1 dual-slot PCIe Gen5 GPU for inference or accelerated workloads
Chassis highlights
- Single-socket EPYC: high core density without the cost and complexity of a dual-CPU system
- Up to 12 hot-swap 2.5" Gen5 NVMe/SATA/SAS-4 bays
- DDR5 RDIMM memory, 12-channel architecture, up to 24 DIMMs
- PCIe Gen5 expansion (GPU, I/O) + OCP NIC 3.0 slot
- 1+1 redundant 2000 W power supplies, 80 PLUS Titanium
- Dual ROM BIOS: two BIOS images on the platform. In the event of corruption or a failed update, the server boots from the backup image. A platform designed for resilience in production environments.
Proposed configuration
- AMD EPYC processor: 16 to 96 cores
- Memory: 64 GB to 1.5 TB
- Data storage: configurable number and capacity of NVMe SSDs (front bays)
- OS: 480 GB M.2 NVMe storage included
- Networking: Intel E810 4×25 GbE (PCIe or OCP 3.0)
