FPGA Cards
The TeraBox 5202S is a 5U FPGA server based on the SuperMicro 521GE-TNRT chassis. This server offers two Intel 4th Generation Xeon Scalable CPUs along with high PCIe slot density. With configurations of up to 10 of BittWare’s large double-width cards, this server is an excellent premium option for the 5U form factor.
System Management
For system management, BittWare’s FPGA cards are equipped with a Board Management Controller (BMC), which accepts PLDM commands. Use it along with BittWare’s Software Development Kit to program the FPGA over USB, monitor card power and temperature, and re-program the onboard clocks. You’ll also be able to set points to shut down the card when it gets too hot, access JTAG, or access the software tools remotely.
The TeraBox Advantage
Choosing a TeraBox FPGA server means knowing you are getting a pre-configured and tested solution. This includes setup and installation of your FPGA cards and associated hardware, your choice of operating system, and development tools. Your TeraBox arrives ready for use—giving your team more time for development and deployment.
3-Year Warranty
A TeraBox warranty covers the whole system!
BittWare’s 3-year TeraBox warranty covers not only the FPGA accelerator cards but also the entire server. If a component in your system fails, everything is covered.
