Dell APEX Cloud Platform MC-760 Hardware Requirements and Specifications

Thermal restriction matrix

The information that is provided describes the thermal restrictions for the MC-760 system.

The following table provides information about the processor and heat sink matrix for the MC-760.

Table 1. Processor and heat sink matrixThis table provides information about the processor and heat sink matrix for the MC-760.
Heat sink Processor TDP
STD HSK ≤ 165 W (supports only 2.5-inch drives and non-GPU configuration).
2U HPR HSK 125 W–250 W (supports 3.5-inch drives and non-GPU configuration).
165 W–350 W (supports 2.5-inch drives and non-GPU configuration).
L-type HSK Supports all GPU and FPGA configurations

All GPU/FGPA cards require 1U L-type HSK and GPU shroud.

The following table provides information about the label reference for the MC-760.

Table 2. Label referenceThis table provides information about the label reference for the MC-760.
Label Description

The ambient temperature of the configuration is determined by the critical component in that configuration. For example, if the processor supports an ambient temperature of 35°C (95°F), the DIMM is 35°C (95°F), and the GPU is 30°C (86°F), the combined configuration can only support 30°C (86°F).
