SuperServer 6029TP-HTR/HC0R/HC1R User's Manual
1-4 2U Twin2: System Notes
As a 2U Twin
configuration, the SuperServer 6029TP-HTR/HC0R/HC1R is a unique server
2
system. With four system boards incorporated into a single chassis acting as four separate
nodes, there are several points you should keep in mind.
Nodes
Each of the four serverboards act as a separate node in the system. As independent nodes,
each may be powered off and on without affecting the others. In addition, each node is a hot-
swappable unit that may be removed from the rear of the chassis. The nodes are connected
to the server backplane by means of an adapter card.
Note: A guide pin is located between the upper and lower nodes on the inner chassis wall.
This guide pin also acts as a "stop" when a node is fully installed. If too much force is used
when inserting a node this pin may break off. Take care to slowly slide a node in until you
hear the "click" of the locking tab seating itself.
System Power
Dual 2000 Watt power supplies are used to provide the power for all four serverboards. Each
serverboard however, can be shut down independently of the other with the power button on
its own control panel.
Hard Drive Backplane/Drives
As a system, the SuperServer 6029TP-HTR/HC0R/HC1R supports the use of 12 hard drives
(SAS or SATA). A single backplane works to apply system-based control for power and fan
speed functions, yet at the same time logically connects a set of three hard drives to each of
the four nodes. Consequently, RAID setup is limited to a three-drive scheme (RAID cannot
be spread across all 12 drives). See the Drive Bay Installation/Removal section in Chapter
6 for the logical hard drive and node configuration.

1-5 Server Chassis Features
Control Panel
The SC827HQ+-R2K04BP3 chassis includes four front panels on the handles of the
chassis which control each of the nodes. Each control panel on the SuperServer
6029TP-HTR/HC0R/HC1R provides you with system monitoring and control for one server
node. LEDs indicate system power, HDD activity, network activity, system overheat and power
supply failure. A main power button and a system reset button are also included.
The switches and LEDs located on the control panel are described below. See Chapter 4 for
details on the control panel connections.
