1.1 Overview
This chapter provides a brief outline of the functions and features of the 9029GP-TNVRT
SuperServer. The system is 10U, supporting 16 NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs. Sixteen GPUs
are distributed evenly between two compute nodes (trays) and work as a single unified
2-petaFLOP system. It is useful in artificial intelligence, research, scientific laboratories and
universities.
In addition to the motherboard, X11DPG-HGX2, and chassis, SC1018G-R12K, several major

1.2 Unpacking the System
Inspect the box in which the server was shipped, and note if it was damaged. If any equipment
appears damaged, file a claim with the carrier.
The server should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas
where heat, electrical noise, and electromagnetic fields are generated. A grounded AC power
outlet is required. Read the precautions and considerations noted in Appendix B.
Caution
: The assembled system may weigh over 400 lbs. When moving it, remove the GPU
trays to reduce weight, and use a lift and multiple people.
Note
: The GPU trays are packaged separately.
