8U SuperBlade User’s Manual Blade Enclosure Features Supermicro's blade enclosures are designed to house from 10 to 20 blade units. Each accommodates up to eight power supplies. The enclosure mid-plane allows the blade units to share power, cooling and networking.
Chapter 1: Introduction Power The typical blade enclosure features a 2200W power system composed of four, six, or eight power supply modules. An alternate configuration (and required for a full 10 or 20-blade system) features a total of four power supply modules for redundancy. This power redundancy feature allows you to replace the failing power module while the backup module takes over to keep the system running.
Power Supply Features The 8U SuperBlade enclosure comes standard with one CMM module and up to eight power supplies. Information on the power supplies is summarized below. See Section 4-1: Chassis Management Module on page 4-3...
AC power is present and green when the power is on. Supermicro's high-efficiency blade system power supplies deliver continuous redundant power up to 96% peak efficiency. Each power supply module includes a management module that monitors the power supplies and the power enclosure.
Special Design Features Supermicro's 8U SuperBlade offers special design features, some of which no other blade server can duplicate. These features give you extraordinary flexibility in configuring a blade system for your own particular needs.
During the warranty period, contact your distributor first for any product problems. For faster service, RMA authorizations may be requested online at: http://www. supermicro.com/support/rma/ 1-11...
The following statements are industry standard warnings, provided to warn the user of situations which have the potential for bodily injury.

If the server itself shows damage you should file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it. Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the 8U SuperBlade. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated.
8U SuperBlade User’s Manual Rack Precautions The following are important precautions concerning rack setup: • The enclosure unit is heavy and requires at least two people to lift it. • 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.
Powering and Grounding Electronic Equipment Installing the System Into a Rack This section provides information on installing the 8U SuperBlade into a rack. There are a variety of rack units on the market, meaning the procedure may differ slightly. Refer to the Enclosure Template that was included with the system for help.
8U SuperBlade User’s Manual Installation Use the procedure below for installing an enclosure in a rack. Installing an enclosure: 1. Decide where you want to place the blade enclosure into the rack (see "Rack Mounting Considerations" in the previous section).
Chapter 3: Setup and Installation NOTE: These handles are optional and need only be installed when mounting the system into a short rack. When mounting into a deep rack, they are unnecessary and regular screws should be used instead of thumbscrews. Be aware that these handles are not to be used for lifting the system, they are only to be used to slide the system within the rack.
Chapter 4: System Modules Chapter 4 System Modules In addition to the blade units, your blade system comes equipped with one or more system modules. The modules fit into the rear of the enclosure into bays above and/or below the power supplies. This chapter describes the various blade modules that may be part of your blade system.
Dual System Fan Modules 2200W Power Supplies (x4 required, x4 optional depending upon system requirements) NOTE: When setting up a bay, the single wide bay is for 10G/25G switches, while the triple wide bay uses 100G switches for the 8U SuperBlade system.
The standard CMM module for the 8U SuperBlade system is the MBM-CMM-FIO or MBM-CMM-001. NOTE: Using the MBM-CMM-FIO in the enclosure allows the use of the two front mounted RJ45 ports on the enclosure, however using the MBM-CMM-001 does not allow these ports to function.
8U SuperBlade User’s Manual Table 4-3. MBM-CMM-FIO Module Features Feature Description Management Capabilities Can manage 10 to 20 blade units, network modules and 8 power supplies Two Ethernet ports, one IPMI Ethernet port and two USB ports (for debug Ports...
IP config. CMM Module Installation Use this procedure to install the MBM-CMM-FIO or MBM-CMM-001 CMM module to the 8U SuperBlade chassis. Make sure the cover to the module has been installed before proceeding. Follow the anti-static precautions described in Chapter Installing the Module: 1.
8U SuperBlade User’s Manual 5. After the module has been installed and the handle locked, it will turn on and a POST test will run to verify it is working properly. Removing the Module: 1. Pull out the release handle to the open position.
Chapter 4: System Modules 3. Choose “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” under the G tab and click on ENERAL (see Figure 4-5). ROPERTIES Figure 4-5. Choose Internal Protocol 4. Manually configure the IP address of the computer system to be in the same address range as the CMM (see Figure 4-6).
8U SuperBlade User’s Manual 6. Now, the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway of the CMM can be changed according to the network environment (see Figure 4-7). Please refer to the Web-based Management Utility User’s Manual for more information.
Java, IPMIview can also be a superior user experience. IPMItool on the other hand can provide the ability to issue similar/identical commands to many 8U SuperBlade enclosures/CMM’s to manage all of them in a similar way. Remote KVM over IP Remote KVM over IP is independent from local KVM (although local KVM can operate in parallel with Remote KVM).
8U SuperBlade User’s Manual • Voltage levels • Power status Power Consumption Management The CMM module’s firmware can also control all power on/off activity in the whole blade system. This is done by using the Power button, onboard BMC or from any other use of remote management software.

Chapter 5: Power Supply Modules Chapter 5 Power Supply Modules The 8U SuperBlade enclosure comes standard with one CMM module (see the Chapter 4 for details on the CMM module) and either two or four power supplies. See Appendix A for summary specification details on the power supplies available to the 8U SuperBlade enclosure.
8U SuperBlade User’s Manual Table 5-4. PWS-1K20B-BR BPP Module Estimated Runtime Power Load Installed BPP Modules Discharge Duration 1000W 180 Seconds 2000W 120 Seconds 3000W 60 Seconds 4000W 35 Seconds 4800W 35 Seconds Under typical conditions, the above is the estimated runtime for the BPP modules. The runtime can be extended by adding additonal BPP modules to a system.
Chapter 5: Power Supply Modules 3. Pull out the handle and remove the unit: the two-piece handle locks into the closed position. To release the handle, squeeze together the two metal plates of the handle with your thumb and fingers and then pull out. Redundant Power Supplies Each blade enclosure can hold up to four power supplies.
8U SuperBlade User’s Manual Therefore the following redundancies apply to your system when, as an example, 2200W power supplies fail. • If one PSU fails, then you have 6600 Watts available. The CMM will detect the remaining power left for the whole system. But because the total blade power usage is only 3750 Watts, every blade can still work properly.
1980W; 10-9.5A for 1800W; 14-11A for 1200W Rated Input Frequency: 50 to 60 Hz Supermicro’s new 8U SuperBlade Enclosure has a wide thermal support range to incorporate a significant range of CPU TDP, this can range from 85W, 105W, 125W, 130W, 140W, 150W, 155W, 165W and 205W.
