Frequently Asked Questions
How does the DL380a differ from a standard DL380?
The DL380a is engineered specifically for accelerators, with airflow, power, and slot layout to sustain four double-wide GPUs that a general-purpose DL380 cannot host at full thermal load.
Can these nodes form a training cluster?
Yes; with 400GbE or InfiniBand NDR we design the fabric so multiple DL380a nodes scale into a distributed training cluster.
What facility power does a 4x H100 node need?
It requires substantial redundant power and rack cooling; we confirm exact PSU sizing and airflow requirements with you before delivery.
