The GAI-GNR-Series itself ships without a pre-installed GPU, unlike the sibling GAI-ERSR-33B GenAI workstation, so accelerator selection is left to the integrator.

What networking does the GAI-GNR-Series include?

It has an Intel I210AT 1GbE controller and an Intel E610-XAT2 10GbE controller with 2 x 10GbE ports, exposed through 4 x RJ45 rear ports: a dedicated MGMT port for IPMI, LAN1 for shared 1GbE/IPMI access, and LAN2/LAN3 for 10GbE.

Does the GAI-GNR-Series support remote server management?

Yes, it includes IPMI 2.0 with an onboard ASPEED AST2600 BMC controller and a dedicated MGMT RJ45 port, enabling out-of-band monitoring, remote power control and console access independent of the host OS. This is particularly useful for managing the GAI-GNR-Series in a rack environment where physical access to the server is limited.

Does the GAI-GNR-Series have a TPM?

Yes, it includes an onboard TPM 2.0 module, supporting hardware-based security functions such as key storage and platform integrity checks for OS-level encryption and secure boot. This is standard across Avalue's server-class boards and helps meet enterprise security requirements for compliance-sensitive deployments running the GAI-GNR-Series.

What display output does the GAI-GNR-Series have?

Video is handled by the AST2600 BMC controller through 1 x VGA port on the rear I/O, outputting up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz at 32bpp; there is no DisplayPort output on this model. This is intended primarily for local console access and BMC-based management rather than high-resolution graphics workloads.

What LED indicators are on the front panel?

The front panel includes a power status indicator, a disk activity indicator and a network activity indicator, alongside the power and reset buttons, giving a quick visual check of system state without needing IPMI access. These indicators are useful during rack installation and initial power-on testing of the GAI-GNR-Series.

What USB ports are available on the front panel?

The front panel provides 2 x USB 3.2 Gen1 ports for quick access to storage drives or peripherals without needing to reach the rear of the rack unit, useful when the GAI-GNR-Series is installed deep in a rack-mounted server cabinet.

What I/O is available on the rear panel?

The rear panel offers 2 x USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, 1 x RS232 serial port, 1 x VGA port, and 4 x RJ45 Ethernet ports (dedicated MGMT, shared LAN1, and 10GbE LAN2/LAN3). This combination covers legacy serial connectivity, local console video and both management and high-speed networking from a single rear panel on the GAI-GNR-Series.

Does the GAI-GNR-Series have a serial port?

Yes, it includes 1 x RS232 port on the rear I/O, useful for connecting legacy serial devices, console redirection, or industrial peripherals that still rely on RS232 communication. This sits alongside the system's USB 3.2 and RJ45 Ethernet interfaces, giving integrators a familiar connectivity path for older instrumentation or controllers.

What operating temperature range does the GAI-GNR-Series support?

The system is rated for 0 to 30°C operation (L10 system rating), making it suitable for climate-controlled server rooms and data centre environments rather than uncontrolled outdoor or extreme industrial locations. Buyers needing wider industrial temperature tolerance should discuss requirements with TSL Automation before selecting the GAI-GNR-Series for such environments.

What is the non-operating (storage) temperature range?

Storage temperature is tested to -40°C for 24 hours per IEC 60068-2-1 (cold test) and 70°C at 95% relative humidity for 24 hours per IEC 60068-2-3, confirming the chassis can withstand transport and storage in a wide temperature band even though operating range is narrower.

What humidity range can the GAI-GNR-Series tolerate while running?

The system is rated for operation up to 95% relative humidity at 35°C, non-condensing, giving it tolerance for humid data centre or facility environments.
