Gigabyte G493-SB2 Server

Offering 8x PCIe Gen5 x16 full-height, full-length slots for double-wide GPUs, the 4U Gigabyte G493-SB2 server also holds 4x PCIe Gen5 x16 full-height, full-length slots on the rear and an additional 2x PCIe Gen5 x16 low-profile slots on the front panel. The 12x drive bays on the front of the 4U chassis can be configured with 3.5” or 2.5” drives for NVMe Gen5, SATA, or SAS drives. A SAS card is required for SAS devices support. A total of 32x DIMM slots can be populated with 256GB 3DS RDIMM modules for up to 8TB of memory. All of these components are powered by 2x Intel Xeon Scalable CPUs of the 4th or 5th generation, including Max series CPUs with a thermal design power (TDP) of up to 350W.
