The systems are powered by four 2.7kW Titanium level PSUs in a high-airflow chassis.

Up to four Nvidia BlueField-3 SuperNICs or four Nvidia ConnectX-7 NICs per system provide multiple ports of 400Gbit/s networking.

“Supermicro’s 4U PCIe GPU systems are certified by Nvidia for use with Nvidia Omniverse,” according to Supermicro.
