1-4 1U Twin: System Notes
As a 1U Twin confi guration, the 1026TT-TF/1026TT-IBXF/1026TT-IBQF is a unique
server system. With two nodes incorporated into a single chassis, there are several
points you should keep in mind.

System Power

A single power supply is used to provide the power for both serverboards. Each
serverboard however, can be shut down independently of the other with the power
button on its own control panel.
Although they share a common power supply, the I
monitoring are received by the primary serverboard only. (When viewed from the
front of the chassis, the serverboard on the left is referred to as the primary board
and the serverboard on the right as the secondary.)

SATA Backplane/Drives

As a system, the 1026TT-TF/1026TT-IBXF/1026TT-IBQF supports the use of eight
SATA drives. The SATA backplane works as a single backplane divided into two
sections. This means that while a single power connector is used and functions
such as overheating apply to both sections together, the SATA drives are logically
connected to their own serverboard. Consequently, RAID setup is limited to a four-
drive scheme (RAID cannot be spread across all eight drives).
