MSI CG480-S6053 NVIDIA MGX 4U GPU Server Platform

The MSI CG480-S6053 is a 4U GPU server platform built on NVIDIA MGX modular architecture, engineered for high-performance computing and AI workloads. A switching PCIe topology supports up to eight dual-slot GPU accelerators in a single 4U rackmount chassis, driven by dual AMD EPYC 9005 Series processors at up to 500W TDP. The MGX modular design allows GPUs, CPUs, and DPUs to be integrated flexibly, so system configurations can be tailored to AI training, inference, and data analytics.

The platform provides 24 DDR5 DIMM slots across 12 channels per CPU (1DPC), accepting RDIMM and RDIMM-3DS modules up to 256GB each at 6400MT/s. Expansion covers eight PCIe 5.0 x16 FHFL double-wide slots and four single-wide slots through the PCIe switch, plus one x16 slot direct from CPU0. Storage is eight front hot-swap 2.5-inch U.2 PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe bays with two M.2 2280/22110 PCIe 3.0 x2 slots; optional NVMe RAID 0/1 is available on the S6053G480RAU8R SKU. Networking is two 10GBase-T ports on an Intel X710-AT2 with NCSI support, alongside a dedicated 1000Base-T management port.

Management runs on an ASPEED AST2600 BMC with AMI MegaRAC firmware supporting IPMI 2.0 and DMTF Redfish, with dual BIOS, dual BMC, and eMMC local storage. Security includes chassis intrusion detection, on-board TPM 2.0, and optional Microchip CEC1736 hardware root of trust. Power is 3+1 redundant 3200W CRPS 80 PLUS Titanium, cooled by two EVAC air modules rated for 500W CPUs. The chassis measures 438.5 mm wide, 175 mm high, and 800 mm deep, and is FCC Class A and CE certified.

GPU Partner supplies this platform fully integrated. Two validated build configurations are offered: eight NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs with dual EPYC 9555 and 768GB of DDR5, or eight NVIDIA H200 NVL GPUs with dual EPYC 9575F and 1,536GB of DDR5. Every system ships after full L6-L10 assembly, burn-in, and validation testing with a 3-year system warranty.
