Overview
The G5500 supports one full-width compute node.
- The full-width compute node includes one G560 V5 and one GP608 or GS608.
- The G560 V5 is installed in the lower slot in the chassis and the GP608 or GS608 is installed in the upper slot. Both are managed by the management module.
The G560 V5 is a full-width general-purpose compute module of the G5500 server. Based on new-generation Intel® Xeon® scalable CPUs (Skylake, Cascade Lake), G560 V5 provides large-capacity memory and powerful computing capabilities.
It supports:
The G560 V5 supports up to six 2.5-inch SAS/SATA/NVMe disks and two 2.5-inch SAS/SATA/M.2 disks. These drives support hot swap (orderly hot swap for NVMe SSDs).
The GP608 is a full-width heterogeneous compute module that works with the G560 V5 to expand the computing capabilities of the G5500.
It supports:
- Eight PCIe 3.0 x16 slots for installing full-height full-length dual-slot GPGPU cards.
- Eight hot-swappable 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives to expand the storage capacity of the compute node.
The GS608 is a full-width heterogeneous compute module that works with the G560 V5 to expand the computing capabilities of the G5500.
- Eight SXM2 GPGPU cards.
- Eight hot-swappable 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives to expand the storage capacity of the compute node.
