Gigabyte’s G894-SD3-AAX7 is an 8U high density server platform designed for Artificial Intelligence and high performance computing workloads, combining dual Intel Xeon 6 processors with an Nvidia HGX B300 GPU module. The system targets cloud computing, analytics, edge, and Internet of things use cases with a split core strategy that offers Performance cores and Efficient-cores, flexible I/O, integrated accelerators, and support for CXL 2.0 devices. The chassis is built for continuous operation and incorporates automatic fan speed control, redundant power, and extensive management tools to keep large clusters running reliably.
The server supports Nvidia HGX B300 with 8 x SXM GPUs, which is described as delivering 7X more Artificial Intelligence compute than Hopper platforms and providing 2.1TB of HBM3E memory with tightly integrated networking via Nvidia ConnectX-8 SuperNICs. Rear connectivity includes 8 x 800 Gb/s OSFP InfiniBand XDR or dual 400 Gb/s Ethernet ports for GPU networking via the onboard SuperNIC, while front I/O offers 2 x USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, multiple RJ45 and management LAN ports, and a VGA port. The platform supports up to 32 x DIMMs of DDR5 RDIMM or MRDIMM over 8 memory channels per processor, with RDIMM speeds up to 6400 MT/s in 1DPC and 5200 MT/s in 2DPC, and MRDIMM speeds up to 8000 MT/s on select Intel Xeon 6 processors with Performance cores in a 1DPC configuration.
For storage and expansion, the G894-SD3-AAX7 provides 8 x 2.5″ Gen5 NVMe hot swap bays, 2 x internal M.2 slots with PCIe Gen5 x4 and x2 interfaces from CPU_1, and 4 x FHHL PCIe Gen5 x16 slots driven by a PEX89072 switch. Power is supplied by 12 x 3000W 80 PLUS Titanium redundant power supplies, with AC input options of 115-127V~/ 14.2A, 50-60Hz, 200-220V~/ 15.8A, 50-60Hz, and 220-240V~/ 14.9A, 50-60Hz, plus a 240Vdc/ 14A DC input for specific regions, and DC output ratings that include Max 1450W/ 115-127V~, Max 2900W/ 200-220V~, and Max 3002.4W/ 220-240V~ or 240Vdc Input. High availability features such as Smart Ride Through, Smart Crises Management and Protection, dual ROM architecture, and optional TPM 2.0 bolster resilience, while Gigabyte Management Console and Gigabyte Server Management suite provide IPMI and Redfish compliant tools, graphical interfaces, command line utilities, and mobile apps for monitoring, control, and integration with VMware vCenter.
