Edge AI servers with two or more PCIe slots

Asked as: “We need full-size expansion cards: which edge AI servers have two or more PCIe slots?”

Answered by the Rapidflare agent

Six edge AI servers in our catalog have two or more PCIe slots — all carry exactly 2 PCIe slots, so full-size expansion is supported on each:

A few differentiators worth noting:

  • YUAN VPP6N0-S AGX family — three variants of the same server: the base VPP6N0-S AGX (2x PCIe Gen3 x4, 2x GbE, fanless, 19–24V DC), the VPP6N0-S AGX PSE with 8x IEEE802.3af PoE ports for cameras on 48V DC, and the VPP6N0-S AGX 5G with integrated 5G cellular connectivity. All three deliver up to 275 TOPS and 5.32 FP32 TFLOPS based on the AGX Orin module inside. yuan.com.tw +3yuan.com.tw ↗“2x PCIe Gen3 x4, 3x M.2 M-key, fanless, 19-24V DC”yuan.com.tw ↗“8x IEEE802.3af PSE ports + 2x GbE”yuan.com.tw ↗“AI server with Jetson AGX Orin (up to 275 TOPS), 5G”yuan.com.tw ↗“performance.max_ai_tops=275 TOPS, performance.max_fp32_tflops=5.32 TFLOPS”
  • Advantech AIR-427A — the newest platform here, based on IGX Thor T7000 with 128GB module RAM, two 200GbE QSFP28 ports, PCIe Gen5, and 5581 FP4 TFLOPS with the optional RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q GPU installed. advantech... +1advantech.com ↗“Two 200GbE QSFP28 ports”advantech.com ↗“up to 5581 with the optional RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q GPU”

One caveat on the YUAN models: their operating temperature range (0–60 °C) holds only with airflow, so plan enclosure ventilation if they'll run PCIe cards under load. Similarly, the AIR-427A's temperature and vibration ratings depend on the PCIe peripherals installed. yuan.com.tw +1yuan.com.tw ↗“thermal.operating_temp_condition=Requires airflow”advantech.com ↗“Operating temperature and vibration suitability depend on installed PCIe peripherals”
