Questions & answers

2 questions · Page 1 / 1
Why is GPU count alone insufficient when choosing a WA5480 G3 topology?

The brochure lists direct, Balance and Common CPU-GPU connectivity, with separate expansion arrangements for 8-GPU switched, 8-GPU direct and 4-GPU direct configurations. Equal GPU counts need not mean equal connectivity. Validate the whole topology against the workload, networking and accelerator form factor.

Do 12-large-drive and 24-small-drive WA5480 G3 variants have the same NVMe support?

No. The technical table separately lists 12 3.5-inch and 24 2.5-inch bays, with different NVMe counts and motherboard/PCIe Switch connectivity. Validate the actual cages, backplanes and topology, and confirm internal M.2 boot drives separately.
