WEKApod servers overview

WEKApod server core component

The WEKApod's core component is a 1U server that includes:

  • Processor: One AMD EPYC 9454P 48-Core Processor.

  • Memory: 12 DDR5 DIMM slots with 384 GB.

  • Power supply: Two redundant AC power units.

  • NVMe drive options: (order-dependent)

    • 10 x 2.5-inch NVMe drives (WEKApod Prime)

    • 14 x E3.S NVMe drives (WEKApod Nitro)

    • 8 x 2.5-inch NVMe drives (WMS)

  • High-speed storage connectivity: InfiniBand cards (order-dependent):

    • NVIDIA CX-6 MCX653105A-HDAT (WEKApod Prime)

    • NVIDIA CX-7 MCX75310AAS-NEAT (WEKApod Nitro)

    • NVIDIA CX-7 MCX75210AAS-NEAT (WEKApod Nitro)

  • Networking: Network Interface Card (NIC) for general-purpose networking.

A WEKApod server installed with WSA is referred to as a WSA server.

A WEKApod server installed with WMS is referred to as a WMS server.

Front view of the WEKApod servers

The front view of the WEKApod server configuration is order-dependent:

  • WEKApod Prime: A WSA server equipped with 10 X 2.5-inch NVMe drives.

  • WEKApod Nitro: A WSA server equipped with 14 X E3.S NVMe drives.

  • WMS: A WMS server equipped with 8 X 2.5-inch NVMe drives.

Server Information tag location

Each server can be identified by its unique Express Service Code and Service Tag. To access this information, pull out the Information tag located at the front of the server. Alternatively, this information may be found on a sticker on the chassis. The mini Enterprise Service Tag (EST) is located on the back of the server and is used to route support calls to the appropriate personnel.

A spreadsheet containing the corresponding Service Tag number provides details on the WEKApod server's IP address and mount order.

The Information tag is a slide-out label that displays key server details, including the Service Tag, NIC, MAC address, and more. It also includes the iDRAC secure default password; however, note that the password has been reset to WekaService through the ID Module.
