ASRock Rack sells the entire stack of servers a data-center could possibly want, and at Computex 2024, the company showed us their servers meant for AI GPUs. The 6U8M-GENOA2, as its name suggests, is a 6U server based on 2P AMD EPYC 9004 series "Genoa" processors in the SP5 package. You can configure it with even the variants of "Genoa" that come with 3D V-cache, for superior compute performance from the large cache. Each of the two SP5 sockets is wired to 12 DDR5 RDIMM slots, for a total of 24 memory channels. The server supports eight AMD Instinct MI300X or MI325X AI GPUs, which it wires out using Infinity Fabric links and PCIe Gen 5 x16 individually. A 3 kW 80 Plus Titanium PSU keeps the server fed. There are vacant Gen 5 x16 slots left even after connecting the GPUs, so you could give it a DPU-based 40 GbE NIC.

The 6U8X-EGS2 B100 is a 6U AI GPU server modeled along the 6U8M-GENOA2, with a couple of big changes. To begin with, the EPYC "Genoa" chips make way for a 2P Intel Xeon Socket E (LGA4677) CPU setup, for 2P Xeon 5 "Emerald Rapids" processors. Each socket is wired to 16 DDR5 DIMM slots (the processor itself has 8-channel DDR5, but this is a 2 DIMM-per-channel setup). The server integrates an NVIDIA NVSwitch that wires out NVLinks to eight NVIDIA B100 "Blackwell" AI GPUs. The server features eight HHHL PCIe Gen 5 x16, and five FHHL PCIe Gen 5 x16 connectors. There are vacant x16 slots for your DPU/NIC, you can even use an AIC NVIDIA BlueField card. The same 3 kW PSU as the "Genoa" system is also featured here.

ASRock Rack Inc., a leading innovative server company, announces its support for the new AMD EPYC 4004 Series CPUs. The latest BIOS updates for all ASRock Rack AM5 socket products are now available online, ensuring that ASRock Rack motherboards for AMD EPYC 4004 CPUs are ready to support the new processors.

The AMD EPYC 4004 Processors utilize the AM5 socket and feature from 4 to 16 SMT-capable (Simultaneous Multithreading), energy-efficient "Zen 4" processor cores, enabling needed performance in cost-efficient system designs. ASRock Rack launched a complete range of boards and systems based on AM5 socket and pioneered equipping the servers with IPMI since 2022. Now, with the launch of AMD EPYC 4004 Processors, ASRock Rack releases the new BIOS for these servers to leverage AMD official server-grade features such as the support of Windows Server 2022; RHEL 8 and 9; Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04.

ASRock Rack Inc., a leading innovative server company, is announcing its 6U8X-EGS2 series at booth 1617 during the NVIDIA GTC global AI conference in San Jose, USA. The 6U8X-EGS2 NVIDIA H100 and 6U8X-EGS2 NVIDIA H200 are ASRock Rack's most powerful AI training systems, capable of accommodating NVIDIA HGX H200 8-GPUs. The 6U rack mounts are able of providing airflow for the highest CPU and GPU performance. In addition to the eight-way configuration, the 6U8X-EGS2 series offers 12 PCIe Gen 5 NVMe drive bays and multiple PCIe 5.0 x16 slots, as well as a 4+4 PSU for full redundancy.

ASRock Rack is also developing servers that support the new NVIDIA HGX B200 8-GPU to handle the most demanding generative AI applications, accelerate large language models, and cater to data analytics and high-performance computing workloads. "At GTC, NVIDIA announced its new NVIDIA Blackwell platform, and we are glad to contribute to the new era of computing by providing a wide range of server hardware products that will support it," said Hunter Chen, Vice President at ASRock Rack. "Our products provide organizations with the foundation to transform their businesses and leverage the advancements of accelerated computing."

ASRock Rack is a subsidiary of ASRock that deals with servers, workstations, and other data-center hardware, and comes with the enormous brand trust not just of ASRock, but also the firm hand of parent company and OEM giant Pegatron. At the 2024 Mobile World Congress, ASRock Rack introduced several new server innovations relevant to the AI Edge, and 5G cellular carrier industries. A star attraction here is the new ASRock Rack MECAI-GH200, claimed to be the world's smallest server powered by the NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip.

The ASRock Rack MECAI-GH200 executes one of NVIDIA's original design goals behind the Grace Hopper Superchip—AI deployments in an edge environment. The GH200 module combines an NVIDIA Grace CPU with a Hopper AI GPU, and a performance-optimized NVLink interconnect between them. The CPU features 72 Arm Neoverse V2 cores, and 480 GB of LPDDR5X memory; while the Hopper GPU has 132 SM with 528 Tensor cores, and 96 GB of HBM3 memory across a 6144-bit memory interface. Given that the newer HBM3e version of the GH200 won't come out before Q2-2024, this has to be the version with HBM3. What makes the MECAI-GH200 the world's smallest server with the GH200 has to be its compact 2U form-factor—competing solutions tend to be 3U or larger.

ASRock Rack Inc., the leading innovative server company, today is set to showcase a comprehensive range of servers for diverse AI workloads catering to scenarios from the edge, on-premises, and to the cloud at booth #1737 at SC 23 held at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, USA. The event is from November 13th to 16th, and ASRock Rack will feature the following significant highlights:

At SC 23, ASRock Rack will demonstrate the NVIDIA-Qualified 2U4G-GENOA/M3 and 4U8G series GPU server solutions along with the NVIDIA H100 PCIe. The ASRock Rack 4U8G and 4U10G series GPU servers are able to accommodate eight to ten 400 W dual-slot GPU cards and 24 hot-swappable 2.5" drives, designed to deliver exceptional performance for demanding AI workloads deployed in the cloud environment. The 2U4G-GENOA/M3, tailored for lighter workloads, is powered by a single AMD EPYC 9004 series processor and is able to support four 400 W dual-slot GPUs while having additional PCIe and OCP NIC 3.0 slots for expansions.
