Production server for live graphics

The Ross XBB2-0101-M6 is a 2U rackmount system built around an Intel Core i7-6900K processor running at 3.20 GHz with 16 GB of DDR4-2666 memory. An Nvidia GTX 1080 with 8 GB of GDDR5X video memory drives DisplayPort, DVI and HDMI outputs. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports and a Matrox Y7291-0201 controller complete the I/O for broadcast and live-event workflows.

Dual redundant 960 W power supply

Two hot-swappable 960 W EPS modules share the load in a 1+1 redundant configuration across 110-240 V input. The ASUS X99-E WS/USB 3.1 mainboard distributes power to the CPU, GPU and eight USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports without external cabling. Redundant supply design keeps the system running if one module fails, while hot-swap capability allows replacement without downtime.

Rackmount chassis with front drive bays

The XPression Ross 2 x 4 chassis provides four front-accessible drive bays although no HDDs are installed. A pre-installed RAID controller is ready for storage expansion when drives are added. Six rear USB 3.1 ports and two mid-board headers give flexible peripheral connectivity. The server ships without a licence dongle and with Windows 10 Pro supported but not installed.

Questions about this item

How do I install the GTX 1080 into the ASUS X99-E WS/USB 3.1 mainboard, and what step is often missed?

Seat the card fully in the PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot until the retention latch clicks, then attach the required auxiliary power cables from the 960W EPS supply; the step most often missed is connecting those power cables.

Which components in this server will need maintenance or replacement first during long-term operation?

The hot-swappable 1+1 redundant power supply units and system fans are the primary field-replaceable parts; the GTX 1080 and i7-6900K are not designed for routine replacement.

What thermal or power limit appears first when the i7-6900K and GTX 1080 run sustained workloads?

The 960W EPS power budget is the first hard limit; combined CPU and GPU draw under full load can approach the supply’s rated output, triggering throttling or shutdown before thermal limits are reached.
