About the HPE Cray XD685 Gen12 GPU Server
PCIe Gen 5 support and high-efficiency redundant power supply units determine server chassis and PSU compatibility for the HPE Cray XD685 Gen12 GPU Server (part number R9X10A), a purpose-built platform designed for demanding HPC and AI supercomputing workloads. This 5U liquid-cooled system accommodates up to 8 double-width GPUs with Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) technology, ensuring optimal thermal performance and density in modern data centers. The dual AMD EPYC processor configuration delivers enterprise-grade compute power while NVLink GPU interconnect (GPU-dependent) enables direct peer-to-peer communication between accelerators—critical for large-scale distributed AI training and scientific simulation.
HPE's integrated Lights-Out (iLO) management platform provides out-of-band control and monitoring, while high-speed Ethernet and InfiniBand fabric support enable seamless cluster integration. Linux operating system support across RHEL, SUSE, and Ubuntu distributions ensures flexibility in deployment environments. NVMe SSD storage interfaces deliver low-latency I/O for checkpoint and metadata operations. For IT procurement teams and AI infrastructure architects evaluating next-generation supercomputing platforms, the HPE Cray XD685 Gen12 combines the proven HPE Cray XD liquid-cooled blade architecture with compatibility for HPE Performance Cluster Manager and HPE Cray Supercomputing fabric—streamlining multi-node deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions about HPE Cray XD685 Gen12 GPU Server
What server platforms accept the HPE Cray XD685 Gen12 GPU Server?
Reference servers include Dell PowerEdge XE9680 / XE9712, HPE Cray XD670, Lenovo ThinkSystem SR685a / SR675 V3, Supermicro AS-A21GE / SYS-821GE, Gigabyte G593 / G894, ASUS ESC. Share your target platform in the RFQ and we will confirm chassis-to-GPU compatibility and recommended NIC pairing.
How long is the lead time on AI GPUs?
Highly model-dependent. L40S / RTX-class: typically 3-6 weeks. H100/H200/B200 in SXM form factor: 12-16 weeks for whole-platform allocations. We quote genuine-channel ETAs only — no grey-market promises.
Do you supply matched networking (Quantum InfiniBand / Spectrum-X)?
Yes — Omnixon stocks the full NVIDIA networking lineup (Quantum-2 / Quantum-X InfiniBand, Spectrum-X Ethernet, ConnectX NICs, BlueField DPUs) so we can quote a complete training-cluster BOM, not just the GPUs.
Can you help with NVIDIA AI Enterprise licensing?
Yes. We hold genuine-channels for NVIDIA AI Enterprise software subscriptions. Add it to your RFQ and we quote node-aligned licensing along with the hardware.
