CSA1-N8 AI Server

CSA1-N8 features built-in distributed computing nodes with 8 computing platforms, each capable of delivering up to 32 TOPS of computing power. It supports the private deployment of mainstream AI large models and multiple deep learning frameworks. Equipped with two 10-gigabit Ethernet ports and a gigabit Ethernet port, it also supports expandable SATA 3.0 hard drives.

Private Deployment

Supports private deployment of mainstream large language models (such as Gemma, Llama, Qwen, etc.), vision large models (such as EfficientVIT, SAM, TAM, etc.), image generation models (such as Flux, Stable Diffusion, etc.), and other large-scale models.

Deep Learning Frameworks

Supports traditional network architectures (CNN, RNN, LSTM) and mainstream deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, PaddlePaddle, ONNX), with additional capabilities for custom operator development and Docker containerization.

Video AI Processing Capability

Capable of AI processing for 256 concurrent video streams, featuring robust multi-tasking performance. Actual throughput depends on the core board and AI model, enabling diverse applications in intelligent security and edge computing.

3.5-inch SATA 3.0 HDD/SSD

Configured with one 3.5-inch (or 2.5-inch) drive bay that supports SATA 3.0 HDD/SSD expansion, the device can be easily scaled to terabyte-level capacity. It supports hot-swapping for fast drive replacement, meeting the one-stop deployment requirements for file management, data backup, video surveillance, and other applications.

Dual 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports

Featuring dual 10-Gigabit SFP+ and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, it delivers the high-speed, stable connectivity required for high-bandwidth application scenarios.

Standard 1U Rack Server Size

Features a standard 1U rack-mounted chassis design with flexible deployment capabilities, fully compatible with most data center cabinet types. The robust construction incorporates 6 high-efficiency cooling fans to ensure 7×24 continuous stable operation.

aBMC Management System

Equipped with an advanced aBMC intelligent management system that enables real-time monitoring, software/hardware configuration, troubleshooting, anomaly alerts, system upgrades, and remote maintenance. Supports secondary development for customized requirements.

Efficient and Low-Cost

Server highly integrates computing units, storage, universal serial bus, network controller, power controller, and sensors into one, providing SDK all-in-one deep learning development toolkit, underlying driver environment, compiler, inference deployment tool, and a series of software tools to reduce users' procurement, development, and operation costs.

256 TOPS Computing Power NPU

CSA1-N8 features eight distributed computing nodes, configurable with either Sophon BM1684X or BM1684 chips. Each node delivers up to 32 TOPS or 17.6 TOPS of computing power, respectively. The number of nodes is also customizable (up to eight), providing robust computational support for AI and deep learning applications.

Application Scenarios

Widely applicable to edge computing, private deployment of large models, smart transportation, Intelligent security, smart healthcare, smart industry and other products and fields.
