Compute acceleration specifications

A Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is included on every Azure Stack Edge Pro device that enables Kubernetes, deep learning, and machine learning scenarios.

Specification	Value
GPU	One or two nVidia T4 GPUs For more information, see NVIDIA T4.

Power supply unit specifications

The Azure Stack Edge Pro device has two 100-240 V power supply units (PSUs) with high-performance fans. The two PSUs provide a redundant power configuration. If a PSU fails, the device continues to operate normally on the other PSU until the failed module is replaced. The following table lists the technical specifications of the PSUs.

Specification	750 W PSU
Maximum output power	750 W
Frequency	50/60 Hz
Voltage range selection	Auto ranging: 100-240 V AC
Hot pluggable	Yes

Network interface specifications

Your Azure Stack Edge Pro device has six network interfaces, PORT1- PORT6.

Specification	Description
Network interfaces	2 X 1 GbE interfaces – 1 management interface Port 1 is used for initial setup and is static by default. After the initial setup is complete, you can use the interface for data with any IP address. However, on reset, the interface reverts back to static IP. The other interface Port 2 is user configurable, can be used for data transfer, and is DHCP by default. 4 X 25-GbE interfaces – These data interfaces, Port 3 through Port 6, can be configured by user as DHCP (default) or static. They can also operate as 10-GbE interfaces.
