Figure 7
The blueprint of our homemade GPU server featuring two CPUs, three GPUs, six hard disks (f) and memory on two height units (HU). The overall layout is a sandwich design in a standard 19-inch two HU case. The main board's three PCI-Express slots are extended using extender cables. For cooling purposes a battery of four fans (d) is installed between the main board compartment and the hard disk and power supply area. The power supply fan's built-in direction must be inverted and another fan (d) must be installed to additionally cool the 1 kW power supply. Additionally, another fan (b) is installed to ensure CPU cooling. On top of this, two custom rods (e) are mounted to support the GPUs (a). For space and thermal reasons, the GPUs used must be stripped from their fans and casings, resulting in the slimmer bare-bones version (a). Finally, the GPUs are mounted on the supporting rods and connected to the PCI-E slots via the extender cables. |
