eBox 4 Pro Product Data
Efficient. Flexible. Built for the Future.
The eBox 4 Pro Expansion Chassis is purpose-built to support the latest PCIe 5.0 peripherals, offering up to 4800W of power. Engineered around the Microchip Switchtec® PCIe 5.0 PFX switch, it ensures ultra-fast, reliable communication. Dolphin's road map extends this to future PCIe 6.0 and 7.0 systems.
Designed to support up to 9 PCIe 5.0 devices, this chassis delivers exceptional throughput, low-latency performance, and flexible expansion capabilities tailored for high-demand computing environments. With full PCIe 5.0 support, it ensures reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity for a wide range of components.
Ideal for AI model training, FPGA real-time data acquisition, and GPU-accelerated workloads, this platform offers an efficient solution for applications that require high-performance data processing. Its scalable architecture allows you to build and adapt your system, without compromising on speed or reliability.
Designed for Flexibility
The eBox 4 Pro is built around the MXB585 platform, delivering exceptional flexibility in port configuration and system design. Powered by the Microchip Switchtec PFX 100xG5 PCIe switch, it provides transparent and advanced NTB (Non-Transparent Bridging) capabilities that enable seamless interconnection between multiple Root Complexes and peripheral devices within the same fabric.
When combined with the Dolphin eXpressWare software suite, the eBox 4 Pro becomes a foundational component for next- generation composable infrastructure. Leveraging device lending and shared memory technologies, it can operate either as a dynamic resource pool or as the central node in a high- performance PCIe cluster architecture.
This makes the eBox 4 Pro a powerful enabler for scalable, high- availability, and performance-driven computing environments.
The eBox 4 Pro can be configured and managed using Ethernet Multiple uplinks to single systems or multiple systems can be tailored to meet the unique demands of your application.
Standardization
Dolphin is a proud and active member of PCI-SIG and a strong believer in standardization. Dolphin strive to deign its products to the most up to date PCI-SIG specificating to ensure maximum compatibility with generally available server systems and IO cards. The eBox Pro series utilizes or are compliant to the CopprLink 1.0 and Card Electro Mechanical (CEM) specifications.
Alternative uplinks
The eBox 4 Pro can utilize our MXH532, MXH572 or the MXH542 PCIe Uplink cards.
Multiple uplinks
Multiple uplinks can be used to connect the eBox 4 Pro to several CPU sockets in the same system as well as connecting several systems. Dolphin eXpressWare software suite will than offer real device sharing and migration.
