DynaCOR 50-35-05 User manual Rev. 1-0 5 Product overview

5 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

5.1 DynaCOR 50-35-05 overview

The DynaCOR 50-35-05 is a compact, liquid-cooled, HPEC server, certified for automotive applications.

The DynaCOR 50-35-05 is designed to withstand shocks and vibrations, and it is E-Mark certified for in-

vehicle installations.

The system supports deep learning and high-performance numerical computation algorithms, such as

TensorFlow and Caffe, providing an ideal platform for Autonomous Driving and Artificial Intelligence (AI)

applications.

The DynaCOR 50-35-05 is based on PCI express Gen 3 switch architecture. It provides an automotive

grade power supply section and a state-of-the-art liquid cooling thermal solution.

The DynaCOR 50-35-05 family has the following power supply requirements: Nominal: 48 VDC; Range:

36 - 58 VDC.

5 Product overview DynaCOR 50-35-05 User manual Rev. 1-0

5.2 DynaCOR 50-35-05 system composition

A DynaCOR 50-35-05 integrates the following subsystems:

l Main Computing System (Main system), including:

o

CPU Motherboard

o

Up to 6x PCIe Hardware modules, connected in a PCIexpress switched network, on the

Midplane board (the Carrier board)

l Monitor & Main PSUmodule (including a µController and a Power System Unit (PSU))

l Mechanical and cooling section. It includes the External chassis, the liquid cooling plates, and the

vibration and shock tutors

5.2.1 Monitoring & Main PSUmodule

The Monitoring & Main PSUmodule (M-PSU) hardware consist on a module that contains the µController

and the Power System Unit (PSU).

The LPC1768 µController monitors the sensors inside the DynaCOR 50-35-05 and manages the power

ON and OFF sequences.

The PSU transforms the vehicle main input voltage to a stable 12 VDC that powers the Main Computing

System.

5.2.2 Mechanical and cooling section

This section is formed by the following parts:

l External chassis

l 7x Liquid cooled plates (cold plates)

l Internal vibration & shock tutors

The chassis and the internal tutor protect the boards against vibration and shocks.

The cold plates cool all boards inside the chassis. The coolant is delivered from the coolant distribution

system through two quick-disconnect receptacles placed on the rear side of the DynaCOR 50-35-05.
