Tyan GK05042020 CTO Server Platform

Overview

The Tyan GK05042020 is a configure-to-order (CTO) server platform built around the AMD EPYC 7551P processor family. At roughly 220 lb and sized at 34.84 x 17.24 x 1.71 in (L x W x H), the GK05042020 is a rack-format chassis intended for data center and server room deployment rather than desktop or edge placement — plan rack space and lift assistance accordingly before it arrives on site.

Because this is a CTO platform, the GK05042020 ships to be configured around your workload — video management server, recording infrastructure, or general compute — rather than as a fixed-spec appliance. Confirm your exact processor count, memory, storage, and networking configuration with a specialist before ordering, since CTO platforms vary by build.

Key Features

AMD EPYC 7551P platform: single-socket EPYC support gives you a high core-count compute base without the licensing and motherboard cost of a dual-socket design — a fit for workloads that scale on cores rather than raw clock speed.

Rack-optimized footprint: at 34.84 in deep and 17.24 in wide, the chassis is sized for standard equipment racks — verify rail and depth clearance in your rack before install.

220 lb chassis weight: plan for a rack-mount lift or a two-person install — this is not a shelf-mount unit.

Full processor, memory, storage, and I/O configuration details for this build are determined at order time. Confirm exact specifications for your intended deployment before purchase.

The GK05042020 is a CTO chassis built around the AMD EPYC 7551P — worth a second look if you're speccing a single-socket EPYC host and don't need a fixed off-the-shelf config.

Technical Highlights:

AMD EPYC 7551P: single-socket EPYC support for core-dense compute without dual-socket board and licensing overhead.
34.84 x 17.24 x 1.71 in chassis: standard rack-depth footprint — confirm rail depth before ordering rack hardware.
220 lb shipping weight: budget for freight delivery and a rack lift; this isn't a unit you carry up from the loading dock solo.

Deployment Considerations:

Because it's CTO, memory, drive bays, and NIC configuration aren't fixed — get your exact build confirmed against your workload before you order.
At 220 lb, factor freight/liftgate delivery and rack-mounting labor into your install timeline.

Right fit for a data center refresh where you're standardizing on single-socket EPYC 7551P compute and want the build configured to your storage and networking requirements rather than buying a fixed SKU.
