Hi,

Can someone be so kind as to let me know if the above hardware meets the criteria for deploying ASDK 2311 for non-production research on both building Stack Hub applications as well as delivering llama2 LLM models for testing and training. Does the CPU support SLAT hyper-v.

Let me also know how many extra similar brand 1TB SSDs i need as min. I will use the default for OS disk.

    The Supermicro 7047GR-TRF 4U 5 GPU server with E5-2650v2 processors and 256GB of DDR3 RAM meets some of the requirements for deploying the Azure Stack Development Kit (ASDK) version 2311, but not all. The ASDK requires a minimum of 192GB of RAM, and the Supermicro server has 256GB, which exceeds the minimum requirement. However, the ASDK requires a minimum of 500GB of storage capacity for data drives, and it is unclear from the information provided how many and what type of storage drives the Supermicro server has. Additionally, the ASDK requires a minimum of a 64-bit Intel Nehalem grade or AMD EPYC or later compatible processor with second-level address translation (SLAT), and it is unclear from the information provided whether the E5-2650v2 processors support SLAT. Therefore, it is not possible to determine definitively whether the Supermicro server can be used to host the ASDK version 2311.

    As for the minimum number of 1TB SSDs required, it is unclear from the information provided what the intended use of the SSDs would be. The ASDK requires a minimum of 500GB of storage capacity for data drives, but it is unclear whether the 1TB SSDs would be used for data drives or for some other purpose.
