ASRock Rack showcased these cutting-edge systems, including those featuring advanced liquid cooling technology, at a recent event.
NVIDIA Blackwell-based Systems: The newly introduced products, built upon the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, comprise several impressive offerings. The NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 ORV3 rack system stands out with its liquid cooling capabilities, ensuring optimal performance and thermal management. Additionally, ASRock Rack presented the 6U8X-GNR2/DLC NVIDIA HGX B200 server, which boasts Direct-to-chip liquid cooling technology and supports up to eight NVIDIA HGX B200 accelerators in a 6U form factor.
For those seeking even more power, the 6U8X-EGS2 NVIDIA HGX B100 server is designed to accommodate up to eight NVIDIA HGX B100 accelerators. All of these new ASRock Rack NVIDIA HGX servers provide support for up to eight NVIDIA BlueField-3 SuperNIC DPUs, enabling seamless integration and enhanced networking capabilities.
NVIDIA MGX Modular Architecture: ASRock Rack also showcased systems based on the NVIDIA MGX modular architecture. The 4UMGX-GNR2 server, built in a 4U form factor, is a notable example. This dual-socket server offers the flexibility to install eight FHFL accelerators and features five FHHL PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and one HHHL PCIe 5.0 x16 slot. The latter supports NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPU and NVIDIA ConnectX-7 NIC, while the server also includes 16 hot-swappable E1.S (PCIe 5.0 x4) drive bays for ample storage capacity.
Commitment to AI and HPC: Weishi Sa, President of ASRock Rack, expressed the company’s dedication to delivering cutting-edge solutions for the most demanding workloads in large language model (LLM) training and generative AI. “We’ve introduced data center solutions based on NVIDIA Blackwell architecture for the most demanding workloads in large language model (LLM) training and generative AI.
