- PDU: one PDU or two PDUs? What plug? What voltage? This may very across sites. What if the site has two power sources?
- UPS: for just the head node and switch? This may depend on the voltage of the PDUs.
- KVM: rackmount, not remote, and patch cables
- Switch: 1Gb/s might be enough. 10Gb/s if price is good.
- environmental monitoring: Could the PDU do this?
- head node with lots of disk
- test head node at NRAO (either CV or NM)
- 30 1U nodes or 15 2U nodes or mix? NVMe drives for nodes. Swap drive?
- GPUs? Do we get 1U nodes with room for 1 or 2 Tesla T4 GPUs or 2U nodes with room for 1 or 2 regular GPU?
- Ethernet cables
- Power cables: single or Y calbes depending on number of PDUs and two power sources.
