PUZZLE-9030 Takes Network Appliance to New Heights
High Core Density 1U Network Appliance Powered
by Dual 3rd Gen AMD® EPYC™ 7543 Processors
The PUZZLE-9030 is a 1U 19" rack-mount network appliance with up to 4TB system memory. It features dual high throughput AMD® EPYC™ 7543 processors with 64 cores in the dual socket system, delivering up to 36% improvement compared to the 2nd Gen AMD® EPYC CPUs, which is made for cybersecurity vendors that require faster CPU performance to accelerate SD-WAN architecture, and secure access service edge (SASE) solutions.
In addition, with flexible expandability through IEI 4 Network Mezzanine Cards (NMC) with OCP 3.0 connectors and PCIe Gen4 connectivity, the PUZZLE-9030 is able to improve HPC, cloud and enterprise workload performance and deliver better time to results with high I/O connection throughput.

Wide Scalability
Expandable Network Bandwidth Compliant with OCP 3.0
Design and customize your appliance for today's dynamic network environment. The PUZZLE-9030 is built-in with four onboard OCP NIC 3.0 slots, aiming to deliver flexibility and scalability. Choose IEI's PulM module, PulM-100G2SF-CX6, featuring dual 100GbE network ICs, for the PUZZLE-9030 to support the highest-bandwidth of NIC expansions up to 800GbE. Advantages of IEI PulM network mezzanine cards include:
Highly serviceability
Simply slot in or pull out the NIC module, without opening cover or using tools.
Tool-less design
The clipping mechanism secures the NIC module in place. Install or replace a new module in seconds.
PCIe Gen4 bandwidth
Each slot supports 16 lanes of PCIe Gen4 signal from CPU and eliminates throughput bottlenecks. It can deliver the speeds up to 200 Gbps for high bandwidth and low latency for data intensive applications.
Smart NIC lowers CPU utilization and increase responsiveness
Implementation of a smart NIC to offload tasks from the CPU allow s for significantly better system scaling while greatly improving efficiencies.
Scalable Storage Devices
IEI PUZZLE-9030 features scalable storage solutions to support maximum performance for data center flexibility, and enable U.2, SATA 6Gb/s or NVMe interfaces for increased connectivity
2 x 2.5" U.2 NVMe SSD or
2 x 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s HDD/SSD
2 x M.2 M-key 2280 NVMe SSD
U.2 NVMe Features Low Latency and Low Power Consumption
The U.2 SSD interface features high-speed, low-latency and low-power NVMe standard protocol. The dual 2.5" U.2 NVMe drive bays of PUZZLE-9030 support PCIe Gen4 x4 channel which provides up to 7000MB/s data transmission speed. It is 2 times faster than PCIe 3.0 U.2 (3200MB/s) and 10 times faster than SATA (500MB/s).
10 Times Faster
PCIe Gen.4 U.2 SSD Performance
Support up to 7000MB/s
Extremely High Data Transmission Speed
Dual PCIe Gen4 x16 slots Accelerate AI-driven Edge Computing
IEI PUZZLE-9030 features a powerful AI accelerator architecture in one 1U system to enable easy scale-up in order to meet the demands of AI and high-performance computing (HPC), and to securely run workloads in virtualized environments. Moreover, various PCIe AI accelerator cards in FPGA, TPU or VPU type are available from IEI. These hardware-based acceleration cards offload the repetitive but high volume workloads from CPU and improve total application performance.
High Availability
A big chanllenge for network operators is to ensure 24/7/365 non-stop network operation. The PUZZLE-9030 supports enhanced availability and serviceability design, including tool-less, hot-swappable cooling fans and redundant power supplies, which ensure excellent heat dissipation and continuous power delivery.

6 x Redundant Smart Fans
Pluggable and Hot-Swap Fan Modules Minimize Trouble-Shooting Resources
The PUZZLE-9030 comes standard with six hot-swap cooling fans in the rear of the 1U chassis. The fan modules are designed to push a high volume of air through the chassis to cool hot CPUs, storages and expansion cards such as AI accelerators, SmartNICs, or GPGPUs.
Automatic Fan Speed Control Achieves the Best Cooling and Power Efficiency
Users can define system fan speed and temperature profile in the BIOS menu. When the system is in idle or running less demanding tasks, smart fan is able to bring down the level of noise produced by rotating fans. The adjustable settings allow the PUZZLE-9030 to run with less noise while extending the fan’s lifespan, enhancing system stability and durability.
Dual Redundant 1300W 80+ Platinum Power Supply
IEI PUZZEL-9030 is designed to guarantee high conversion efficiency regardless of load. Dual redundant 1300W 80 Plus platinum power supplies combined with IEI's system integration capabilities enable super efficient power usage which maximizes the system power. Each power supply unit is capable of powering the entire system so the PUZZLE-9030 can run with only one power unit. If one PSU fails, the other one starts running to keep continuous operation.
*The power supply wattage will vary based on the chosen CPU
Field-proven Reliability
