- 3x DDR4-ECC channels, up to 384GB memory capacity
- 2x 2.5GbE(i225) + 1x GbE (i210)
- 8x SFP+ with up to 100Gb Ethernet throughput
- Rugged fanless design for harsh environments.
- AST2600-based BMC with Display Port (DP) video
- On-board storage: M.2 NVMe + M.2 SATA + eMMC (soldered)
The power demands of M.2 AI accelerators reach the limits of the M.2 standard and generate significant heat. Compounding this issue is the limited operating temperature of some of these modules. More often than not, you will need more than one AI accelerator, further exacerbating the problem of heat dissipation.
The “HQ-Box2 AI” model addresses these challenges with a custom housing for four M.2 AI accelerators, each featuring a dedicated heat sink and a fan tray to handle the most demanding scenarios. Users can also mix M.2 AI accelerators and M.2 SSDs within the same enclosure. Additionally, an 8-lane PCIe G4 slot (full height, half length, double width) enables the addition of a GPU or another AI module, offering enhanced flexibility and performance.
