Tyan Transport SX TS70A-B8056 Barebone System — 2U Rack-Mountable Server with SP5 Socket

The Tyan Transport SX TS70A-B8056 is a high-density barebone system purpose-built for data centers, virtualization hosts, and workload-intensive enterprise environments. Engineered around a single AMD Socket SP5 LGA-6096 processor socket, this 2U rack-mountable chassis delivers solid compute power in a compact footprint, enabling flexible configurations that balance performance, energy efficiency, and cost. With 24 DDR5 memory slots supporting up to 3 TB of DDR5 SDRAM at speeds up to DDR5-4800, this barebone platform makes it easy to scale memory-hungry workloads such as virtualized environments, in-memory databases, AI inference tasks, and large-scale analytics. An integrated NVMe controller and two M.2 interfaces provide fast storage options for operating systems, databases, and data caches, while the ASPEED AST2600 graphics/controller handles remote management and out-of-band access for seamless administration. In short, the TS70A-B8056 delivers enterprise-grade reliability and performance in a modular 2U chassis that fits neatly into modern data centers and server rooms.

• Powerful single-socket AMD SP5 performance: Designed for dense 2U deployments, this barebone system accommodates 1 x processor on the SP5 LGA-6096 platform, delivering robust compute for virtualization, databases, HPC, and other demanding workloads while reserving room for future expansion through PCIe, storage, and memory configurations.
• Massive DDR5 memory capacity for demanding workloads: Up to 3 TB of DDR5 SDRAM across 24 DIMM slots with DDR5-4800 (PC5-38400) speeds provides exceptional memory bandwidth and headroom for multi-tenant virtualization, in-memory analytics, large-scale simulations, and memory-intensive applications, all while maintaining data integrity and reliability in a server environment.
• High-speed storage options and flexible I/O: An integrated NVMe controller plus two M.2 interfaces enable fast OS and data drives, enabling rapid boot times, low-latency data access, and streamlined storage tiering. The scalable design supports additional PCIe expansion for NVMe, SAS, or SATA storage to suit evolving workload requirements.
• Management, graphics, and remote control: The ASPEED AST2600 controller provides robust out-of-band management, IPMI, and remote administration capabilities, allowing administrators to monitor, configure, and update the system from anywhere. The built-in server-management features reduce downtime and simplify maintenance in headless or remote deployments.
• Reliable 2U rack-mountable chassis for data centers: A purpose-built 2U barebone frame offers enterprise-grade reliability, efficient thermal design, and modular expansion to support virtualization nodes, cloud-ready infrastructure, and research clusters—delivering consistent performance, predictable power consumption, and scalable growth in busy data-center environments.

How to install Tyan Transport SX TS70A-B8056 Barebone System

• Step 1: Unbox the TS70A-B8056 barebone chassis and verify all components are present, including the empty processor socket, RAM slots, NVMe/M.2 bays, and power supply connections. Prepare a clean, static-free workspace and gather your CPU, memory, storage drives, and required cables.
• Step 2: Install the processor into the SP5 LGA-6096 socket. Align the CPU correctly with the socket, apply the appropriate thermal interface material as needed, and secure the CPU cooler if included or attach an aftermarket cooling solution that matches the chassis design and thermal requirements.
• Step 3: Populate the memory banks. Insert DDR5 DIMMs into the 24 memory slots in the recommended channel/slot order for optimal memory interleaving and stability. Ensure modules are fully seated and verify memory configuration in the system BIOS during initial power-on.
• Step 4: Install storage devices. Mount NVMe drives and any M.2 drives into their respective slots. Connect necessary power and data interfaces, and configure boot drives for the operating system setup. Confirm NVMe and M.2 devices are recognized in BIOS or UEFI before proceeding.
• Step 5: Attach any required expansion cards or PCIe devices through the available slots, and connect chassis fans, power supplies, and front-panel connectors. Route cables neatly to maintain airflow and ease future maintenance.
• Step 6: Mount the barebone system into a compatible server rack, level the chassis, and secure it with rack screws. Connect the power supply and network connections, then power on the system to begin BIOS/UEFI initialization.
• Step 7: Enter BIOS/UEFI to configure boot order, CPU features, memory timing, and any platform-specific settings. Update firmware and BIOS as needed, then install the operating system or hypervisor of choice. Enable remote management features for ongoing administration via the ASPEED AST2600 interface.
• Step 8: Install drivers and management software, apply security patches, and set up monitoring and alerts to ensure ongoing performance and reliability in production workloads. Validate storage performance, memory stability, and network connectivity under typical workload conditions.
