NF3280A6 meta brain® General Purpose Servers

Key Features

Powerful Performance

1. NF3280A6 is built on the new generation AMD Milan Processors. The CPU supports up to 64 cores and 128 threads at the maximum Turbo frequency of 3.4 GHz and up to 280 W thermal design power (TDP). PCIe 4.0 ports support up to 128 lanes.
2. 16 DDR4 ECC memory modules (RDIMM and LRDIMM) are supported with its data transfer rate up to 3200 MT/s under 1 DPC and 2933 MT/s under 2 DPC. The memory modules each have a maximum capacity of 128 GB, offering a total maximum capacity of 2 TB with high speed and superior availability.
3. 8 NVDIMMs are supported to ensure memory data integrity in case of power failure without compromising on the memory capacity and bandwidth.
4. An all-flash configuration of up to 24 hot-swap NVMe SSDs provides ten times the IOPS of high-end enterprise-level SATA SSDs, with a 20% increase in storage capacity over the previous generation.
Flexible Expansion

Front: up to 12 × 3.5" SAS/SATA/NVMe drive or 24 × 2.5" SAS/SATA/NVMe drive.
Internal: up to 2 × M.2 SATA/PCIe SSD or 4 × 3.5" SAS/SATA drive.
Rear: up to 2 × 3.5" SAS/SATA drive or 4 × 2.5" SAS/SATA/NVMe drive.
OCP NIC 3.0 SFF expansion card.
6 onboard Slimline x8 connectors to directly attach NVMe drives to CPU.
Up to 6 standard PCle expansion slots, including 2 full-height and half-length x16 slots + 4 full-height and half-length x8 slots; 3 full-height and half-length PCIe x16 slots + 2 full-height and half-length PCIe x8 Gen4 slots.
Up to 4 dual-width, full-height and half-length GPUs + 1 full-height and half-length PCIe x16 Gen4 slot.
High Availability

1, With a user-friendly design, the entire system supports tool-free maintenance. The enhanced and optimized structures realize easy assembly/disassembly and greatly reduce O&M time.
2. IEIT's unique intelligent regulating technology combined with a cutting-edge air-cooling system creates an optimum working environment to ensure server health.
3. The drives are hot-swappable. The RAID controller card supports RAID 0/1/10/5/6/60/1E, RAID cache and data protection in case of power failure enabled by the super capacitor.
4. With the latest BMC, technicians can quickly locate components that have failed (or are failing) through the Web GUI, fault diagnosis LEDs and UID LEDs on the front panel, simplifying maintenance, speeding up troubleshooting, and enhancing system availability.
5. Technicians can monitor system parameters and take appropriate actions in a timely manner via the alarms sent in advance via BMC to ensure system health and minimize system downtime.
PSU Management

1. 80 PLUS Platinum PSU (800 W – 1600 W) with the power efficiency up to 94% at a load of 50%.
2. Offers 1+1 redundant and integrated AC/DC power supplies for optimized power conversion efficiency.
3. The efficient VRD power for every board reduces loss during DC-DC conversion.
4. Intelligent fan speed control and intelligent CPU frequency scaling help conserve energy.
5. Optimized cooling design in an all-round way, including energy-efficient cooling fans and ultra-low heat dissipation pressure due to low system energy consumption.
Excellent Security

1. Supports firmware encryption/digital signatures to prevent unauthorized writing of unknown firmware.
2. As for hardware, NF3280A6 adopts a hood latch on the access panel and quick release levers on the front panel.
