1Chapter1 : General Information..
1.1 Introduction...
ROC300-TA45 is an efficient 3U rackmount workstation designed with the most advanced NVIDIA
Quadro RTX (A4500) professional GPU, specifically designed for the most demanding workflows of today.
Experience GPU acceleration performance through innovative computers and mobile devices that
combine real-time ray tracing, programmable shading technology, and artificial intelligence.
ROC300-TA45 adopts the latest industrial design, providing users with high-performance and
cutting-edge operating platforms. This machine supports EATX/ATX/MicroATX motherboards, with
efficient power switching and easy maintenance of fans. ROC300-TA45 provides 6 SAS/SATA HDD
Hot-Swap drive bays and 4 built-in M.2 SSD, providing a flexible solution for data storage. The
high-performance series can support up to 1600W power supply and has excellent heat dissipation
capacity to support up to two A4500 GPU cards and extra two acceleration cards. In addition, the system
fan can increase or decrease speed based on the temperature inside the chassis to effectively reduce
noise under low system loads. A wide range of standard computing peripherals can be integrated with
these chassis to accommodate robust applications in rugged environments, 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week.
