Chapter 1 Introduction Overview The SSG-927R-E2CJB is a high-end Super Storage Bridge Bay (SBB) JBOD system comprised of two main subsystems: the SC927ETS chassis and two AOM- SAS3-937EL-JB SAS expander cards. Equipped with 1200W (Titanium Level) high-efficiency redundant power supplies and redundant cooling fans, the Super SBB JBOD product line offers high-available, high-reliability JBOD storage systems at a competitive price.
SAS Subsystem The SSG-927R-E2CJB supports up to 24 2.5" SAS drives, connected through a SAS3 expander backplane. These drives are hot-swappable and are connected to a midplane that provides power and control.
"cluster-in-a-box" system. SBB JBOD is intended to expand SBB storage capacity while maintaining fault-tolerant features by having the expanders located in hot-swappable trays. Super SBB supports cascading for up to four Super SBB JBODs of the following three form-factor variants: SSG-947R-E2CJB, SSG-937R- E2CJB and SSG-927R-E2CJB.
Chapter 2 Rack Installation Chapter 2 Rack Installation This chapter provides instructions for preparing and mounting your chassis in a rack. Unpacking the System You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way.
SSB-927R-E2C-JB User's Manual Warnings and Precautions Rack Precautions • Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them. • In single rack installations, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. •...
Chapter 2 Rack Installation Rack Mounting Considerations Ambient Operating Temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (TMRA).
SSB-927R-E2C-JB User's Manual Installing the Rails There are a variety of rack units on the market, and some may require a slightly different assembly procedure. The following is a basic guideline for installing the system into a rack with the provided rack rails. Also refer to the installation instructions that came with the specific rack you are using.
Chapter 2 Rack Installation Releasing the Inner Rail Each inner rail has a locking latch. This latch prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when when the chassis is pulled out for servicing. To mount the rail onto the chassis, first release the inner rail from the outer rails. 1.
SSB-927R-E2C-JB User's Manual Installing the Inner Rails on the Chassis Installing the Inner Rails 1. Identify the left and right inner rails. They are labeled. 2. Place the inner rail firmly against the side of the chassis, aligning the hooks on the side of the chassis with the holes in the inner rail.
Chapter 2 Rack Installation Installing the Outer Rack Rails Outer rails attach to the server rack and hold the server in place. The outer rails extend between 30 inches and 33 inches. Installing the Outer Rails 1. Attach the outer rails to the rack by inserting the hooks on the rails into the holes on the rack post.
SSB-927R-E2C-JB User's Manual Sliding the Chassis onto the Rack Rails Warning: This requires at least two people to support the chassis during instal- lation. Please follow safety recommendations printed on the rails. Installing the Chassis into a Rack 1. Pull the middle rail out of the front of the outer rail and make sure that the ball bearing shuttle is locked at the front of the middle rail.
Chapter 2 Rack Installation Removing the Chassis from the Rack Caution! It is dangerous for a single person to off-load the heavy chassis from the rack without assistance. Be sure to have sufficient assistance supporting the chassis when removing it from the rack. Use a lift. Removing the Chassis from the Rack 1.
Chapter 3: System Interface Chapter 3 System Interface Overview The Super Storage Bridge Bay includes two control panels on the front. Each control panel provides LED status indicators related to the node on the same side of the chassis. The control panel on the right includes a power button for the entire system. The externally accessible hard drives display status lights.
SSB-927R-E2C-JB User's Manual Control Panel Buttons The control panel on the right includes a power button for the system. Power The main power switch applies or removes primary power from the power supply to the SBB but maintains standby power. Control Panel LEDs There are six LEDs on each control panel that provide status information about the system.
Chapter 3: System Interface Cascading Status (OUT) When this LED is illuminated it indicates a cable for cascading to a second-level JBOD has been attached to the system. Power Fail Indicates a power supply module has failed. Overheat/Fan Fail When this LED flashes, it indicates a fan failure. When on continuously it indicates an overheat condition.
SSB-927R-E2C-JB User's Manual Expander Status and Link LEDs Indicators for the expander status are located at the rear of each node. See the figure below for descriptions. Figure 5-1.

Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance System Fans Four hot-swappable, heavy-duty fans provide cooling from the middle of the chassis. Two fans are mounted at the rear of each node tray. Mid-Chassis Fans Figure 5-7. Mid-chassis Fans Replacing a System Fan 1.
Page 54
SSG-927R-E2CJB User's Manual Figure 5-8. Removing Pins from the Fan Housing 4. Remove the four pins securing the fan to the fan housing and lift the failed fan from the housing and out of the chassis. 5. Place the new fan into the vacant space in the housing while making sure the arrows on the top of the fan (indicating airflow direction) point in the same direction as the arrows on the other fans.
The chassis features redundant power supplies. They are hot-swappable, meaning they can be changed without powering down the system. New units can be ordered directly from Supermicro or authorized distributors. These power supplies are auto-switching capable. This feature enables them to automatically sense the input voltage and operate at a 100-120v or 180-240v.
