Supermicro GPU 821GV-TNR Server

This platform is built to handle demanding tasks like artificial intelligence, deep learning, and other high-performance computing jobs. 2x 4th or 5th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, with a TDP of 350W and 12-channel memory architecture can be installed. With and optional liquid cooling solution, CPUs with a TDP of up to 380W are supported. the Supermicro 821GV-TNR server supports up to 8TB of 3DS RDIMM memory when all 32x memory module slots are populated with 256GB memory modules. Memory speeds can reach up to 4800 MT/s with 1DPC or up to 4400 MT/s with 2DPC. LRDIMMs and 3DS LRDIMMs are not supported.

The default storage configuration on this platform includes one expansion card kit or NIC kit and enables NVMe drive bays 0-11, plus expansion slots 1-8 and 11-12. One internal side expansion card, one rear PCIe NIC riser, and supporting cables are included in the NIC kit. To enable NVMe drive bays 12-15 and expansion slots 9-10, a second NIC kit is required.

As a GPU system, the 821GV-TNR offers 8x SXM5 PCIe 5.0 x16 GPUs with a CPU-to-GPU Interconnect and NVIDIA NVLink with NVSwitch for GPU-to-GPU communications. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1550 series SXM5 GPUs supported on this platform have a TDP of 600W and are used for high-performance computing (HPC), and AI workloads. This machine utilizes 3+3 3000W 80 PLUS Titanium level redundant modules for 6x PSUs total.

To manage the system, Supermicro SuperDoctor 5 helps keep an eye on the server’s health. It works on both Windows and Linux and can be used through a simple command-line or web interface. It monitors things like CPU temperature, power use, fan speed, and system voltage, and can send alerts by email or through network tools. Administrators can use it on one machine or many, locally or remotely.
