Hey,
I'm looking for a 1U server chassis with enough space for a double width graphic card of GTX1000 series (e.g. 1050). If it helps: The graphic card may be low profile! While googling, I found following servers:
1.)
Supermicro | Products | SuperServers | 1U | 5019P-WTR
I like the options this chassis provides: 2 FHFL slots and 1 Low-Profile slot. This is awesome for a 1U chassis!
However, I am worried when looking at PCIE power connectors of consumer graphic cards. I think it might be difficult (impossible?) to install GPU with PCIE power connectors in this chassis?
I'm also not quite sure, if this chassis can handle double width GPU card? From Supermicro I got the information, that the rear windows are fixed. But I don't know exactly, how this affects installing a double width GPU?
2.)
Supermicro | Products | SuperServers | 1U | 5019GP-TT
Well, this server looks more clean in regard to GPU compatibility. Furthermore, I think, PCIE power connectors should be no problem at this chassis. However, when looking at the price, this chassis / server is far more expensive, I guess.
Therefore I would like to ask if you can recommend any 1U chassis that supports a proper installing of one GPU with PCIE power connector? Basically, I don't have high demands and would be happy with small servers with cpus like Xeon E3v6 series. The reason I'm looking for (industrial) servers is, because
a) this server needs to be placed in a remote location
b) and therefore I need IPMI to switch this thing on and off
This server is intended for streaming media to a 4K display with support for Dolby Vision and HDR. Maybe, sometimes, also a bit of gaming. At website of Zotac I found some small nice devices like this one ( MAGNUS EN51050 | ZOTAC ), however this system has no remote administration features like IPMI... As long as the device is small, its okay as well... The maximum possible space I can mount is 1U! And IPMI is required!
PS: One last question: when sending media signal to TV via HDMI, is in this case any audio chip or any sound card necessary or is a graphic card sufficient for delivering both video and audio?
Thanks to all of you for reading!
