Overview

We assume the site will be buying 15 Compute GPU Nodes.  Things like the power and ethernet cables are based on this assumption.

Compute Node options

The test node purchased for NRAO was a Compute GPU Node, common and this is what we are recommending for all the other clusters.

Compute GPU Node, common

760W.  Dell recommends 208V to get the full capacity of the Power Supply)

I mistakenly bought power supplies for the NRAO test system with C20 recepticals (2400W) instead of c14 recepticals (1400W).

Power Strip Options

We require 208 Volt power.  Two common plugs in the United States for 208V are NEMA L21-30P for 30Amp power and IEC60309 60A 3P+PE for 60Amp power.  Each site will need to choose one of these options.

Software

Since we are planning to use all free and open-source software (RockyLinux and HTCondor) there isn't a need for software costs.
