The Gigabyte R163-Z32 server, ideal for networking applications, sports a single AMD EPYC 9004 or 9005 series processor, 12x hybrid, hot-swappable drive bays, and PCIe 5.0 lane connectivity. With 12x SFF drive bays on the front panel, the 1U system offers NVMe, SAS, and SATA drive configurations. At full capacity it can deliver up to 3TB of DDR5 memory.
A single AMD EPYC processor from the 9004 or 9005 series family supports up to 192 cores and up to 384 threads on the MZ33-DC0 motherboard. The 4nm technology CPU supports up to 12x memory module slots and a 12-channel memory architecture, plus a variety of thermal design point (TDP) ranges. The TDP starts at 300W and increases to 400W at 25°C. Dual 1300W 80 PLUS Platinum redundant PSUs can be found on the rear of the chassis to support the server’s components.
The 4th and 5th Gen AMD EPYC CPU upholds 12x memory channels to support 12x DIMM slots with up and DDR5 memory. It can accommodate up to 3TB of memory with all 12x DIMM slots filled with 3DS RDIMMs with a maximum capacity of 256GB. The system can accommodate up to 1TB of memory using standard RDIMMs with 128GB memory modules per slot. A maximum memory speed of 4800MHz is possible, but the BIOS will automatically detect the specifications and capacity of the memory once the slots are populated.
The front of the Gigabyte R163-Z32 has 12x 2.5” drive bays with lime green tabs. These hot-swappable drive bays support Gen4 NVMe, SATA, or SAS configurations, but a SAS card is required for SAS device support. Users can also take advantage of the ultra-fast PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 slot on the motherboard supporting 2280 or 22110 form factors. There are 3 revisions of this platform.
