The MSI S3063G290RAU4 is a 2U rackmount server designed for high-performance GPU compute with NVIDIA MGX technology. It utilizes an Intel Xeon 6 processor, which supports a massive number of PCI-Express Gen 5 lanes as well as 8 DDR5 memory channels - ensuring plenty of bandwidth and connectivity for running up to four dual-slot GPUs, high-speed networking, and a few NVMe solid-state drives.
Storage options include two internal M.2 slots for SSDs and four rear-accessible hot-swap bays for U.2 NVMe SSDs. We generally recommend putting the OS on one of the M.2 slots and then using the U.2 bays in the back for storage as needed.
External connectivity consists of four USB ports (2 each in front and back) and a port for remote management. There are four PCIe 5.0 x16 slots for dual-width GPUs of up to 600W each, and while there is no built-in networking, there are three more PCIe 5.0 x16 slots for various NICs or other expansion cards.
