Linux2U Rackmount Elite is a Host Engine 2U computer connected to Xpander

Rackmount Elite and is designed to run up to four GPUs plus 2x 8-channel slots for SDI capture or RED Rocket transcoding cards. Linux2U Rackmount Elite has the quiet fan option and can sit on a desktop or be rackmounted. If you need up to four double-wide GPUs and two additional slots for single-wide cards, Linux2U Rackmount Elite is the perfect system solution for you. . CentOS Linux 6.4 is loaded as the operating system and Cubix GPU Manager which monitors the health and performance of both the GPUs and Xpander. [Note: Each Customer/End User must add your own Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve 11 license key.]

 Continuous monitoring of GPU link status, number of lanes, link speed of enclosure, temperature, fan speed and GPU load characteristics warns of weaknesses and prevents unnecessary down time

 Whisper quiet operation minimizes sound baffling requirements on production sets [Quiet Fan (QF)] option only

 Less impact on mobile 19" cabinets than a customized tower workstation

 Multiple accelerators can access flash cards and other accelerators without accessing the root complex (the host computer’scentral processing unit)
