Graphics processing unit server ESC8000 G4/10G

GPU4UIntel® Xeon

Overview
ESC8000 G4/10G is a 4U high-density GPU server designed to accommodate up to eight full-height, full-length dual-slot NVIDIA Quadro or Tesla GPU cards while preserving expansion and thermal management options for enterprise GPU computing.

Key features

• Supports 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors
• High-density GPU layout with eight full‑height dual‑slot GPU support
• Dual onboard 10G LAN (Intel X550AT2) for high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity
• ASUS Adaptable Topology for flexible root-complex configuration
• NVMe support with port-to-port OCuLink and Intel VROC
• Hot‑swappable redundant fans and dedicated air tunnels for CPU, GPUs and DIMMs
• Embedded ASMB9-iKVM and bundled management software for in-band and out-of-band management

Patented Adaptable Topology design
The Adaptable Topology enables single or dual root complex configurations that can be switched via the server management GUI without changing hardware wiring, allowing topology adjustments to match workload or GPU pairing requirements.

Scalable configuration

• 8 × PCIe Gen3 x16 slots for eight full‑height, full‑length, dual‑slot GPUs
• 2 × PCIe Gen3 x16 (low-profile) slots for high-speed networking cards
• 1 × internal PCIe Gen3 x8 slot for HBA/RAID
• 2 × hot-swap NVMe 2.5" via dual OCuLink (Intel VROC)
• Up to 8 × 2.5" SATA HDDs or up to 8 × 2.5" SAS HDDs with optional HBA/RAID
• 2 × PCIe & SATA 6Gb/s M.2 connectors

Dual onboard 10G LAN
Dual 10G LAN ports using Intel X550AT2 provide stable high-bandwidth, low-latency Ethernet while preserving PCIe slots for expansion cards.

Cooling and thermal management
Hot‑swappable redundant fans with dedicated air tunnels for CPU, GPU and memory zones. GPU cooling includes ten fan positions (five primary, five backup) plus two CPU coolers. Integrated thermal sensors on CPUs, GPUs and DIMMs enable dynamic fan control (thermal radar) to maintain thermal targets and optimize energy use.

Comprehensive management
Embedded ASMB9‑iKVM module and bundled management software deliver in-band and out‑of‑band system management, monitoring and diagnostics suitable for large-scale IT deployments.

Simplified maintenance

• Tool-less cover design with three access covers for maintenance without rack removal
• Front Q‑Code / port 80 LED for boot and diagnostic status
• Quick initialization guidance for system information and diagnostics during boot
