The Gigabyte G294-S42 supports up to 24x DDR5 RDIMMs running at speeds of up to 6400 MT/s, or Multiplexor Combined Ranks (MCR) DIMMs at up to 8000 MT/s. MCR DIMMs are only compatible with Intel Xeon 6 processors featuring P-cores and in a 1DPC configuration. The 6700E-Series processors only support up to 16x DIMM slots. For expansion, the server offers 3x risers. Two provide 4x FHFL x16 (Gen5 x16) for GPUs, and the remaining riser supports 2x low-profile Gen5 x16 slots. The rear I/O features a dual 3000W redundant Titanium Level (96%) power supply.
