2+2 Redundant power supplies
ESC8000A-E11 supports up to four 3000 W 80 Plus Titanium redundant power supplies which are over 96% efficient, directly reducing operating costs and offering easier servicing. When four power supplies are installed, the configuration can be set to redundant with 2+2, 2+1 or 1+1 modes. This ensures power is supplied to the system equally from all power supplies to maximize efficiency, enabling uninterrupted operation.
Optimized thermal design
ESC8000A-E11 features a streamlined design with independent CPU and GPU-airflow tunnels for seriously efficient heat dissipation. This advanced design provides better cooling for both the GPU and CPU, enabling heat to be expelled into the surrounding ambient air for greater energy efficiency and overall savings on system power.
