Network
interfaces Two Gigabit Ethernet ports using onboard Intel I350 Gb Ethernet controller.
Optionally, two InfiniBand ports or two 10 GbE ports via a mezzanine card (which does
not occupy the available PCIe slot).
PCI Expansion
slots nx360 M4 without PCIe Native Expansion Tray:
򐂰
One PCIe 3.0 x8 mezzanine card slot
򐂰 One PCIe 3.0 x16 full-height half-length slot
nx360 M4 with PCIe Native Expansion Tray (addes 1U height):
򐂰 One PCIe 3.0 x8 mezzanine card slot
򐂰
One PCIe 3.0 x8 full-height half-length slot
򐂰 Two PCIe 3.0 x16 full-height full-length double-width slots for GPUs
Ports (server) Front of the server: KVM connector; with the addition of a console breakout cable (1
cable standard with the chassis) supplies one RS232 serial port, one VGA port and
two USB ports for local console connectivity. Three 1 Gbps Ethernet ports with RJ45
connectors: one dedicated for systems management (wired to the IMM), one
dedicated for use by the operating system and one shared by the IMM and the
operating system. One slot for an optional mezzanine card ports (QSFP, SFP+ or
RJ45 depending on the card installed). One internal USB port for VMware ESXi
hypervisor key.
Ports (chassis) Rear of the enclosure, provided by the Fan and Power Controller Module for chassis
management: Gb Ethernet connection (RJ45) for browser-based remote
management, mini-USB serial port for local management.
Cooling Supplied by the NeXtScale n1200 enclosure. 10 hot-swap dual-rotor 80 mm system
fans with tool-less design.
Power supply Supplied by the NeXtScale n1200 enclosure. Up to six hot-swap power supplies either
900W or 1300W depending on the chassis model. Support power policies N+N or N+1
power redundancy. 80 PLUS Platinum certified.
Video Matrox G200eR2 video core with 16 MB DDR3 video memory integrated into the
IMM2. Maximum resolution is 1600x1200 with 16M colors (32 bpp) at 75 Hz, or
1680x1050 with 16M colors at 60 Hz. Optional GPUs in PCIe Native Exp. Tray.
