Gigabyte R243-E30 Server

The single-socket Gigabyte R243-E30 Server supports an AMD EPYC 8004 series processor with up to 64 cores and 128 threads, plus a maximum configurable TDP of 225W. It is capable of delivering Gen5 NVMe, SAS4, and SATA configurations by way of 12x hot-swappable storage bays on the front panel. These drive bays are organized into 4x 3.5"or 2.5" bays supporting Gen5 NVMe/SATA/SAS4 and 8x 3.5" or 2.5" bays for SATA/SAS4. A SAS card is required for SAS devices. To boot the operating system, there is 1x M.2 slot with a PCIe Gen3 x4 interface on the motherboard, suitable for 2280 and 22110 form factor cards.

Overview
