Please refer to the Supermicro web site for a list of supported memory
(www.supermicro.com/products/superblade). The detailed specifications for a blade
module will contain a link to a list of recommended memory sizes and manufacturers.
Details on installation of memory modwules into the SBI-7128R-C6/C6N SuperBlade
module are found in
Storage
The SBI-7128R-C6/C6N SuperBlade module can have six 2.5" Hot-swap HDD/SSD/
NVMe SATA (Serial ATA)/SSD hard disk drives in front-mounted easy removable
carriers. Only the SBI-7128R-C6N blade module can support NVMe drives. See
Chapter 3: "Setup and Installation" on page 3-1
The SBI-7128R-C6/C6N SuperBlade module also has two SuperDOM ports for
attaching SuperDOM drives to the serverboard. See
products/nfo/satadom.cfm
support SuperDOM devices and DO NOT support SATADOM devices.
NVMe
The NVM Express ports available in the SBI-7128R-C6N blade module provide
high-speed, low-latency connections directly from the CPU to NVMe Solid State drives
(SSDs). This greatly increases SSD throughput and significantly reduces storage device
latency by simplifying driver and software requirements resulting from the direct PCI-E
interface between the CPU and the NVMe SSD drives.
Density
A maximum of ten blade modules may be installed into a single blade enclosure. Each
blade enclosure is a 7U form factor, so a standard 42U rack may accommodate up to six
10-blade enclosures with 60 blade modules, or the equivalent of 60 1U servers. With the
inclusion of six CMM modules, twelve Gigabit Ethernet switches and six InfiniBand
switches, this would occupy up to 84U space in a conventional 1U server configuration.
