[VIDEO] Quick Setup Guide for the OSS 4U Pro System

[VIDEO] Quick Setup Guide for the OSS 4U Pro System

In this video, we will walk you through the setup process for the OSS 4U Pro Gen5 PCIe System. We utilize the OSS Short Depth Server (SDS) as the host for the purposes of this video, but the OSS 4U Pro can be connected to any server with an open x16 PCIe slot. 




The 4U Pro is a rugged AI Transportable system that provides optimized, configurable PCIe Gen5 expansion for edge AI applications. As shown in the video, the 4U Pro can support many different PCIe add-in cards, including double-wide GPUs (up to 8). Auxiliary power is provided by the system for add-in cards that require additional power. The 4U Pro can also be configured to provide 16 single-width PCIe Gen4 x8 slots for scale out IO applications, such FPGA data ingest or the latest NVMe storage add-in cards.

One of the most important parts of setup is ensuring that the upstream and downstream cards are properly installed. The upstream card will need to be installed in the host server in an available PCIe x16 slot. The downstream card will come pre-installed in the 4U Pro. This video shows the dipswitch settings for the two cards to confirm they are set properly, and the host can recognize the add-in cards installed in the 4U Pro. These settings can also seen in more detail in the 4U Pro user manual.

Additional features of the 4U Pro Gen5 PCIe Expansion System include the OSS Unified Baseboard Management Controller (U-BMC), replaceable fan filters, and an optional SmartNIC host configuration.
