Gigabyte B684-A80 Blade Server - System Overview

B684-A80 blade viewAdditional Information

With 12x memory channels CPUs, and 12x DIMM slots each for 24x total, each memory module delivers optimal performance. Supported processors on the Gigabyte B684-A80 high-density server are limited to 500W. Using Intel Xeon 6 Plus processors the system can deliver up to 288 E-cores per processor for support of hyperscale and cloud-native workloads. Standard Intel Xeon 6900-series processors offer up to 128 P-cores and deliver better core performance for TCO, accelerating AI, and compute-intensive workloads. Only standard 6900-series processor support Multiplexed Rank DIMM (MRDIMM) modules which provide memory speeds at up to 8000MT/s

There are two different versions of this system with one air cooled and the other offering direct liquid cooling.

Each server node has 2x E3.S Gen5 NVMe storage bays per node. 3x low-profile PCIe gen5 x16 slots provide options for NICs. Powering this system are 10x 3200W 80 Plus Titanium power supplies. To manage the system there are 2x Chassis Management Controller LAN ports. Multiple Gigabyte B684-A80 chassis can be connected in a ring topology with a network switch to significantly enhance cluster stability by automatically rerouting traffic if there is a failure. A star topology can be configured using the management LAN (MLAN) ports on the front of the system.
