OverviewThe Axial AX306 is a 3U edge server engineered for GPU‑dense and storage‑intensive workloads. It supports dual 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors and up to seven single‑slot GPUs, delivering compute and acceleration capacity for AI/ML inference and other compute‑heavy edge applications.
Highlights- Dual 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors
- Support for up to 7x single‑slot GPUs (including NVIDIA® RTX 4000 ADA)
- 4x front hot‑swap 2.5‑inch NVMe SSD bays
Deployment & Industrial DesignCompact 3U rackmount chassis made of steel with options for rack, wall or tower mounting. Front hotswap drive cage accepts up to four 2.5‑inch NVMe SSDs for high‑performance local storage while preserving GPU density and serviceability.
Connectivity & SecurityIntegrated high‑speed networking via Intel X710 (2 x 10GbE) and multiple onboard I/O for sensors and peripherals. Platform security and manageability include TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, intrusion detection and remote management (BMC/IPMI, RedFish) to support secure, remote operations.
