INTRODUCTION TO THE NVIDIA RTX BLADE

SERVER

The NVIDIA

RTX

™

Blade Server is a high-density GPU server consisting of 10 twin

blades, 20 CPU nodes and 40 NVIDIA Turing

™

GPUs in an 8U form factor. The blade

enclosure system provides all the power, cooling and I/O infrastructure needed to

support a modular server design for graphical edge cloud applications like gaming

and AR/VR. Power and 10Gb Ethernet is delivered through a common backplane that

connects the nodes to a 40Gb network module. The enclosure supports 10 PSUs with

2200W platinum ratings for N+N redundancy.
