Configuration

What are the requirements for the server host?
1. The server host should be x86-based.
2. The server host should run the compatible operation systems.
3. The server host should have at least one standard low-profile PCIe slot for HBA card installation.
4. The server host should set BIOS to the following:
- Above 4G Decoding - Enable
- MMIOH Base = 56TB
- MMIO High Size = 1024G
5. The server host should install the drivers for the allocated devices, and H3 Platform only supports the devices on our compatibility list.
-
Could different GPU models be used at the same time?
Yes, different GPU models could be installed inside Falcon 4118/4109 and used for one server host at the same time as long as they are on our compatibility list. GPU devices proved workable with Falcon chassis could be used as if they are directly integrated into the server host. However, the situation still varies from hardware manufacturer to hardware manufacturer. For example, Nvidia CUDA driver only allows GPU under the same model name and with the same memory size to run simultaneously.
-
Is Ethernet needed for using Falcon chassis?
Yes, the management user interface of Falcon chassis is run through the 1Gb management port. The management port should be connected to the network.
-
Could I mix different GPUs from different vendors on Falcon chaissis, such as NVIDIA, AMD, etc.?
Yes, as long as those GPUs are on our compatibility list.
-
Do I need to install anything on the server host?
No, no additional software is required to be installed on the server host as we simply use the device native drivers on the host OS.
-
Could I add two HBA cards into one server host?
Yes, as long as there are enough PCIe slots on the server host.
