The RPS Win3U Rackmount 8 6U from Cubix consists of a HostEngine 3U RP Rackmount Computer which is connected to the Xpander Rackmount 8 6U PCIe Enclosure. Both chassis are rack-mountable and rugged.
The Xpander Rack Mount 8 PCIe Enclosure enables the connection of 8 dual-slot or single-slot graphics cards with rear-connected auxiliary power cables to the host computer. The enclosure has two Main Interface Boards (MIBs), each with four PCIe x16 slots for a total of eight GPUs like NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 or TITAN X. The Xpander Rack Mount 8 comes fitted with one AMD FirePro W2100 and two NVIDIA GTX 980 graphics cards.
The HostEngine 3U RP Rackmount Computer features dual Intel Xeon E5-2660v3 series processors with the Intel C612 chipset and a 1,000W redundant power supply. It offers four PCIe gen 3.0 x16 expansion slots. Each slot can accommodate a half-height, half-length controller such as the Cubix HIC (Host Interface Controller) that connects to the Xpander Rack Mount 8 Enclosure.
The system is loaded with Windows 8.1 Pro, all updates and drivers, as well as Cubix GPU Manager, for monitoring the health and performance of both the GPUs and Xpander.
