Server Chassis Features
Feature Description
System power The chassis includes a high-efficiency 80-plus Platinum certified power
supply, rated at 1620 Watts plus one redundant backup power supply. In the
unlikely event your power supply fails, replacement is simple and can be
accomplished without tools.
SATA subsystem The chassis supports up to 12 hot-swappable 3.5" SATA drives in trays (3
for each node). These drives are hot-swappable units and are connected to a
backplane that provides power and control.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the
hot-swap capability of the drives.
Front control panel The chassis includes four front control panels on the handles of the chassis.
Each control panel 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 is also
included on each control panel.
I/O ports The chassis is a proprietary-form-factor chassis designed to be used in a 2U
rackmount configuration. The chassis provides a low-profile add-on card
slot, a COM port, a VGA port, two USB 2.0 ports, one IPMI Ethernet port,
and two gigabit Ethernet ports per node.
Cooling system The chassis has four system fans powered from either the backplane or the
serverboards. If not powered from the backplane, the chassis powers the four
fans from the four motherboards so that when one of the motherboard
drawers is removed, the other motherboards will continue running all fans.
Air shrouds The chassis includes four plastic air shrouds that direct the airflow where
cooling is needed on each serverboard. Always use the air shroud included
with your chassis on each serverboard.
Mounting rails The chassis includes a set of quick-release rails and can be placed in a rack
for secure storage and use. To set up your rack, follow the step-by-step
instructions included in this manual.
