NVIDIA's MGX modular server architecture represents a solution designed to address data center challenges in AI, high-performance computing, and cloud computing. The MGX architecture, centered on GPUs, adopts standardized hardware specifications and flexible configurations that support NVIDIA Grace CPUs, x86 architecture, and the latest GPUs including the H200 and B200, while integrating advanced networking capabilities with BlueField DPUs. Compatible with 19-inch standard racks supporting 1U, 2U, and 4U servers, and further enhanced with compatibility for OCP standards, the MGX architecture's modular pool includes I/O modules, PCIe cards, add-in cards, and storage modules, enabling over 160 system configurations to meet diverse data center needs while shortening development cycles and reducing costs.

As an NVIDIA partner, Chenbro is dedicated to promoting the adoption and expansion of the MGX architecture by offering versatile server chassis solutions. Chenbro collaborates with system integrators and server brands to develop customized solutions, ranging from open chassis to JDM/ODM and OEM plus services. Whether for standardized deployments or fully customized server designs, Chenbro ensures each customer receives solutions tailored to market demands, supporting diverse deployments in AI, HPC, and big data.

Chenbro provides 1U and 2U Compute Trays compatible with GB200 NVL72 and NVL36 server racks, high-density server solutions designed by NVIDIA. The 1U configuration supports two compute boards per tray, each with two Blackwell GPUs and one Grace CPU, collectively known as the GB200 Superchip, with the MGX standard rack housing 18 compute trays for a total of 36 Grace CPUs and 72 Blackwell GPUs. The 2U configuration includes nine compute trays per rack, combining 18 Grace CPUs and 36 Blackwell GPUs. The GB200 NVL72 and NVL36 utilizes a "Blind Mate Liquid Cooling Manifold Design" for efficient cooling, ensuring stable operation under prolonged high workloads, while NVLink technology achieves data transfer speeds of up to 1,800 GB/s, significantly enhancing data processing efficiency. This solution is ideal for AI training, cloud computing, and large-scale data processing scenarios, providing robust support for computationally intensive applications such as speech recognition, natural language processing, and AI inference.

Chenbro's 2U enterprise-grade server chassis solutions, built on the MGX system, feature modular design and future-proof expandability that support GPU, DPU, and CPU upgrades, allowing subsystem reuse across various applications and generations. Designed to fit standard EIA 19-inch racks, the 2U MGX chassis supports traditional PCIe GPU cards with configurations accommodating up to four GPU cards.
