Computer User Guide
Front and Rear View
HostEngine 5URP24 (HE5URP24) computer features Intel® Xeon
®
Scalable (Skylake
FCLGA3647 socket) Series dual processors with the Intel C621 chipset. HE5URP24 supports
up to 2TBytes error-correcting code (ECC) 3DS load-reduced, dual in-line memory module
(RDIMM) memory or 1TByte ECC registered ECC DIMM memory. It provides 4 x PCI Express
(PCIe) Gen 3.0 x16 expansion slots and 2 x PCIe Gen 3.0 x8 slots. Each x16 slot
accommodates a full-height, full-length GPU. One x16 slot supports a double-wide GPU if one
x8 slot is not populated. It also supports 2 x half-height, half-length, single-wide Cubix Host
Interface Controller (HIC) that connects to Cubix Xpander Rackmount 8 and 1 or 2 x RAID
controllers that connect to 24 x SAS hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs). Each
HIC connects to multiple slots within Xpander and each RAID controller connects to 24 x HDDs
or SSDs within HE5URP24.
To support the 24 x Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS with 12Gbits / second or 12Gbps transfer rate)
2.5” or 3.5” hot-plug hard-disk drives (HDDs) requires 1 x 24-port or 2 x 12-port SAS (12Gbps)
RAID controller(s) in one or two of the 8 x slots. Each RAID controller port connects to a 4-port
SAS backplane with a 1.0meter SFF-8643 mini-SAS to SFF-8643 mini-SAS HD cable, and in
turn, each 4-port SAS backplane connects to 4 x SAS HDDs for a total of 24 x HDDs in each
HE5URP24 and XPRM8G3-5URP24 chassis. The two chassis form a system with 48 x SAS
HDDs. The total storage capacity is 48TBytes to 672TBytes, or 0.672PBytes, of direct-attached
storage.
It also provides 6 x rear-panel USB ports
– 4 x USB 3.0 and 2 x USB 3.1, a type A and a type C.
HE4U also provides 2 x GbE network ports, one of which supports both local and remote
management using IPMI 2.0. Each HE5URP24 and XPRM8G3-5URP24 also features a power
supply with 3 + 1 hot-plug, redundant power modules and 4 x hot-plug cooling fans. Each is also
rack-mountable with a tool-less access top cover.
By connecting HostEngine 5URP24 to Xpander Rackmount 8 RP24, you can add up to 8 x
double-wide GPUs such as NVIDIA® Quadro P6000 to the HostEngine 4U computer for running
Autodesk® 3ds Max with NVIDIA iray or BlackMagic Design® DaVinci Resolve® for Linux or
Windows.
