FPGA Server
TeraBox 4102S
4U Server for FPGA Cards
Overview
BittWare’s TeraBox-4102S offers a 4U, 12-slot chassis supporting Intel’s latest 3rd Generation Xeon Scalable processors and PCIe Gen4. Configurations include up to 10 of BittWare’s double-width cards using Achronix, Intel, or Xilinx FPGAs.
Users seeking maximum logic/memory density can choose the S7t-VG6 with the Achronix Speedster7t FPGA and high-bandwidth GDDR6 memory. Or choose the IA-840F, which features an Intel Agilex FPGA along with QSFP-DDs and yields an impressive 60x 100G — for a port density of 30 per rack unit! No matter which configuration you choose, you’re getting BittWare’s installation, support, and comprehensive warranty.

FPGA Cards
The TeraBox 4102S is a 4U FPGA server based on the SuperMicro 420GP-TNR chassis. This server offers two Intel 3rd 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 4U 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.
