Vecow ICS-1640A-2876NT 16-Core Intel Xeon D-2876NT GPU Edge Server with Dual PCIe 4.0 x16, 10G SFP+ and 90-240V AC

Inference at a site cabinet or control room often needs two full-length graphics cards on full x16 bandwidth, fed from mains power rather than a vehicle supply. The Vecow ICS-1640A-2876NT, part of the ICS-1000 series, is a GPU edge server for that work: a 16-core Xeon D-2876NT system with four PCIe x16 slots, two with PCIe 4.0 x16 signal, one with x8 and one with x2.

The ICS-1640A-2876NT runs a 16-core, 32-thread Intel Xeon D-2876NT at 100 W TDP, which Intel lists as an Ice Lake-D part, with Intel QAT for compression and encryption offload, vPro and TPM 2.0. Eight DDR4 2933 DIMM sockets take UDIMM or RDIMM up to 512 GB. An 1800 W power budget supports two 2-slot, full-length graphics cards at up to 900 W each, so the CPU can handle data movement while the GPUs run inference. Vecow lists Windows Server and Linux.

Networking is four Intel I350 GbE ports and two 10G SFP+ ports from the Xeon SoC, which Vecow supports under Windows Server. I/O covers four RS-232/422/485 ports, two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports, 16 isolated DIO (eight in, eight out), VGA and a nano SIM socket. M.2 B and E key sockets take optional 5G, 4G or Wi-Fi modules. Storage is an M.2 M key SSD, two front-access 2.5″ trays and two SATA III ports with RAID 0 and 1. A dedicated out-of-band port, powered by Allxon, allows remote power on, off, reset and cycle.

Power is 90 to 240 V AC through a C14 inlet, rated at 2000 W at 220 V for dual graphics card operation. A 16-mode software ignition control and a remote switch are included, and the fan-cooled ICS-1640A-2876NT runs from -5 °C to 45 °C. Vibration and shock are rated to MIL-STD-810G, and Vecow lists CE, FCC and ICES, with EMC to EN 50155 and EN 50121-3-2 requirements. The ICS-1640A-2752TER uses the 12-core Xeon D-2752TER, the ICS-1640-2876NT is the DC version, and the ICS-1660A-2876NT has six PCIe x16 slots, four with PCIe 4.0 x8 signal, in place of two full x16 slots.
