5U 19-inch Rack IPC with XEON^®‑computing power

The RACK-500AI-C246 consists of a navy blue 5U 19-inch chassis with a size of 440 x 110 x 221 mm (L x W x H). The computing unit consists of the SPCIE-C246 PICMG1.3 single board computer card with Intel^® C246 server chipset and an Intel^® Xeon^® E-2176G Hexa Core processor with a base clock frequency of 3.7 GHz and a turbo frequency of 4.7 GHz. Four 288 pin DDR4 SDRAM slots can accommodate up to 64 GB of memory with or without ECC error correction. 2x 8 GB ECC memory are pre-installed at the factory.

Flexibly extendable

The RACK system offers dual display support with up to 4096 x 2304 resolution on the standard HDMI port and the optional internal display port. For mass storage, an M.2 2280 NVME slot and a 3.5" SATAIII removable drive bay are available. Furthermore, the system offers an Intel^® i219LM and an Intel^® i211AT Gigabit LAN port, two USB 3.2 (Gen1), up to six USB 2.0, up to three RS-232 and one RS-422/485 interface. Two native third-generation PCI Express slots are available for expansion cards.
The system offers one x16 and one x4 slot on the backplane. For example, AI accelerator cards from the Mustang series can be used on both. The RACK-500AI-C246 is equipped with a 350 Watt full range power supply and can be operated in a temperature range from -20 °C to 50 °C.
On request, ICP Germany can supply the RACK-500AI-C246 as a ready-to-use system with suitable mass storage and operating system as well as the appropriate 19-inch carrier tray for the use of multiple systems.

AI accelerator cards

The RACK-500AI-C246 can be enhanced for AI tasks by adding computing acceleration cards with Intel^® Field Programming Gate Arrays (FPGA) or Intel^® Movidius^® Vision Processing Units (VPU). An alternative to the OpenVINO^TM toolkit is TensorRT.
The combination of GRAND-C422, TANK-870AI, the accelerator cards and a Deep Learning toolkit form IEI’s AI ready solution.
The main focus of the industrial hardware under the IEI brand is an integrated intelligent Deep Learning Software from Intel. The Deep Learning technology is based on so-called neural networks, which enable machines to learn artificial knowledge through training and interference, to refine it and to recognize new information and process it sensibly. ▪ ds
