Tai\u00adpei, Tai\u00adwan, 27th<\/sup> Decem\u00adber 2018 \u2013 <\/b>GIGABYTE<\/span> has brought the impres\u00adsi\u00adve com\u00adpu\u00adte and I\/O capa\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adties of AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> to a new sin\u00adgle socket tower ser\u00adver that can sup\u00adport four GPGPU<\/span> cards, making it ide\u00adal for SOHO<\/span>, SME<\/span>, uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adties or other orga\u00adniza\u00adti\u00adons requi\u00adring a cost effec\u00adti\u00adve, high per\u00adfor\u00admance engi\u00adne for simu\u00adla\u00adti\u00adon, machi\u00adne lear\u00adning or other AI<\/span>, HPC<\/span> or data pro\u00adces\u00adsing workloads. VGA<\/span> gra\u00adphics cards may also be instal\u00adled ins\u00adtead, tur\u00adning the W291-Z00<\/span><\/a> into a powerful tool for CAD<\/span> mode\u00adling or 3D<\/span> rendering.<\/p>\n

The W291-Z00<\/span><\/a> is built around GIGABYTE<\/span>\u2019s MZ01-CE1<\/span><\/a> ser\u00adver mother\u00adboard, sup\u00adport\u00ading a sin\u00adgle AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> 7000 series pro\u00adces\u00adsor with up to 32 cores and 64 threads, making it gre\u00adat for appli\u00adca\u00adti\u00adons that are opti\u00admi\u00adzed for mul\u00adti-thre\u00ada\u00adding. The mother\u00adboard fea\u00adtures 8 x DIMM<\/span> slots to sup\u00adport the EPYC<\/span>\u2019s 8 memo\u00adry chan\u00adnels, for a total capa\u00adci\u00adty of 1,024GB<\/span> of DDR4<\/span> memory.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Per\u00adhaps one of the most impres\u00adsi\u00adve high\u00adlights of the W291-Z00<\/span><\/a> is the abili\u00adty to sup\u00adport up to four acti\u00adve VGA<\/span> or pas\u00adsi\u00adve GPGPU<\/span> cards*, espe\u00adci\u00adal\u00adly com\u00adpared with com\u00adpe\u00adting solu\u00adti\u00adons that requi\u00adre a dual socket CPU<\/span> plat\u00adform to sup\u00adport a simi\u00adlar num\u00adber of cards. The\u00adr\u00ade\u00adfo\u00adre, the W291-Z00<\/span> offers an excel\u00adlent value pro\u00adpo\u00adsi\u00adti\u00adon to cus\u00adto\u00admers loo\u00adking for a non-rack\u00admount stan\u00adda\u00adlo\u00adne ser\u00adver that still can offer den\u00adse GPU<\/span> capa\u00adci\u00adty and com\u00adpu\u00adte power. GPUs sup\u00adport\u00aded by the W291-Z00<\/span> will include the Tes\u00adla V100<\/span> or Rade\u00adon MI25<\/span> for machi\u00adne lear\u00adning workloads, as well as NVIDIA<\/span>\u2019s Qua\u00addro, GeForce &<\/span> Titan series VGA<\/span> cards, offe\u00adring a varie\u00adty of workload pos\u00adsi\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adties for this sys\u00adtem.*GPU<\/span> card type sup\u00adport\u00aded &<\/span> quan\u00adti\u00adty sup\u00adport\u00aded varies accor\u00adding to mecha\u00adni\u00adcal and ther\u00admal con\u00adside\u00adra\u00adti\u00adons. For more infor\u00adma\u00adti\u00adon, plea\u00adse con\u00adsult the QVL<\/span> list down\u00adloa\u00adda\u00adble from the W291-Z00<\/span> pro\u00adduct page.<\/small><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

For high capa\u00adci\u00adty sto\u00adrage, the front of the W291-Z00<\/span> fea\u00adtures four hot-swappable dri\u00adve bays to install 3.5\u201d or 2.5\u201d SATA<\/span> or SAS<\/span> HDD<\/span> \/ SSD<\/span> dri\u00adves. Intern\u00adal\u00adly, the W291-Z00<\/span><\/a> also fea\u00adtures an onboard M.2 slot for a high speed flash sto\u00adrage dri\u00adve. Addi\u00adtio\u00adnal M.2 dri\u00adves for flash sto\u00adrage may be instal\u00adled via an M.2 riser card (such as GIGABYTE<\/span>\u2019s CMT2014<\/span><\/a>, CMT4032<\/span><\/a> or CMT4034<\/span><\/a>) from one of W291-Z00<\/span>\u2019s five expan\u00adsi\u00adon slots (four PCIe Gen3 x16 slots and one PCIe Gen3 x8 slot).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The W291-Z00<\/span><\/a> also fea\u00adtures many other ser\u00adver class relia\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty and main\u00adten\u00adan\u00adce fea\u00adtures com\u00admon across GIGABYTE<\/span>\u2019s rack\u00admount ser\u00adver pro\u00adducts, inclu\u00adding an Aspeed AST2500<\/span> base\u00adboard manage\u00adment con\u00adtrol\u00adler for remo\u00adte manage\u00adment. Sys\u00adtem coo\u00adling is pro\u00advi\u00added by four powerful inter\u00adnal fans: three 120x38mm fans and one 92x25mm fan. Fan speed can be adjus\u00adted via GIGABYTE<\/span>\u2019s con\u00adso\u00adle manage\u00adment UI<\/span> accor\u00adding to the type of GPU<\/span> card instal\u00adled: full speed for pas\u00adsi\u00adve-coo\u00adled GPGPU<\/span> cards, or redu\u00adced speed when acti\u00adve coo\u00adled VGA<\/span> cards are instal\u00adled, which also redu\u00adces sys\u00adtem noi\u00adse when the tower ser\u00adver might be nee\u00added to ope\u00adra\u00adte in an office envi\u00adron\u00adment. The W291-Z00<\/span> would even be ide\u00adal to be used with a water coo\u00adling sys\u00adtem for even quie\u00adter ope\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon. And to ensu\u00adre the sys\u00adtem remains relia\u00adble and sta\u00adble even when run\u00adning with a full load of GPGPU<\/span> cards, the tower ser\u00adver includes dual red\u00adun\u00addant 1600W<\/span> Pla\u00adti\u00adnum power sup\u00adp\u00adly units.<\/p>\n
