Serverboard Features
The 6038R-DE2CR16L is built around two X10DRS serverboards for a dual-node
system that shares storage resources as well as features a dedicated PCI-E bus
between server nodes for High Availability (HA), Cluster in a Box (CiB) applications
The X10DRS is a dual processor serverboard based on the Intel® PCH C612
chipset. Below are the main features of the X10DRS. (See Figure 1-1 for a block
diagram of the chipset).
Processors
The X10DRS supports single or dual Intel® Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 series processors
in LGA 2011 R3 type sockets. Two X10DRS boards are included in the storage
system. Please refer to the serverboard description pages on our website for a
complete listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com).
Memory
Each X10DRS has eight DIMM slots that can support up to 1 TB of LRDIMM (Load
Reduced) or 512 GB of Registered (RDIMM) ECC DDR4-2400/2133/1866/1600
memory. See Chapter 5 for details.
SAS Disk Controller
Two external SAS 3.0 ports are supported by a disk controller on a mezzanine
included on each X10DRS (for a total of four in the system).
SAS Expander
An IR mode SAS controller is located on a mezzanine card included in each of the
server nodes. One 40-port SAS expander is integrated into each X10DRS board.
SATA
Each X10DRS has two SATA 3.0 ports with power headers to support two SATA
Disk-on-Module (SATA DOM) devices per node. RAID 0 and 1 are supported by
the PCH.
NTB Connectivity
Non Transparent Bridge connectivity featuring 8 lanes of PCI-E 3.0 between server
nodes.

PCI Expansion Slots
Each X10DRS features one PCI-E 3.0 x24 slot for riser card support.
Rear Chassis Ports
The rear of each serverboard includes two mini SAS HD ports, two 10 Gb Ethernet
ports and a KVM connector (includes USB, VGA and COM ports).
Graphics Controller
The X10DRS features an integrated ASpeed AST 2400 BMC video controller.

Server Chassis Features
System Power
The 6038R-DE2CR16L features a redundant Titanium Level 1200W power supply
composed of two separate power modules. This power redundancy feature allows
you to replace a failed power module without shutting down the system.
SAS Subsystem
The 6038R-DE2CR16L supports up to 16 3.5" SAS drives. These drives are
hot-swappable units and are connected to a midplane that provides power and
control.
Front Control Panel
Two control panels are included on each end of the 6038R-DE2CR16L to provide
you with system monitoring and control. LEDs indicate system power, network (NIC)
activity, system overheat and power supply failure. Each set of LEDs are associated
with the node/serverboard on the same side of the chassis. A single power button
is located on the right side control panel. When pressed, both nodes will power on
or off according to the BIOS setup settings.
Cooling System
The SC937ETS-R1200NDBP chassis has 12 back-to-back, 4-cm counter-rotating
fans: three at the front and another three at the rear of each node. This counter-
rotating action works to dampen vibration levels while generating exceptional airflow.
Each power supply module also includes a cooling fan.
