This document describes the installation process of the SC4200 storage controller The SC4200 storage controller is Celestica's next-generation 2U rack mount NVMe platform. Supporting up to 24 PCIe NVMe dual-port solid state drives (SSDs) with two redundant computing nodes based on Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors. SC4200's high performance, low- latency design has the flexibility to work for converged or more malleable composable applications.

2 2 Install the CPU. 3 3 Install the Heatsink. a a Put the heatsink on the socket. Attention should be paid to the slot on the assembly of the hole in the heatsink.
Move all four wires to locked position, see the label on the heatsink below. DIMM DIMM The SC4200 CPU board supports 18x DDR4 DIMMS total, with 8x RDIMMS and 1x BPS per CPU socket. It is recommended to use identical DIMM modules on each DIMM socket for balance. The following table lists the preferred DIMM population rules.
SC4200 supports up to 2 BPSs -one per CPU. To support BPS DIMM(A1/J1), make sure the RDIMM is installed (A0/J0). Figur Figure 4. e 4. DIMM Locations DIMM Locations Solid State Driv Solid State Drive (SSD) e (SSD) The drive carrier was designed for optimized airflow in a compact form factor.

BBU Overview Each canister contains a Battery Backup Unit (BBU) that is used to power just that canister when the AC power fails. The BBU contains enough power and current to exceed 240VA. W W ARNING: ARNING: W W ARNING: ARNING: Do not expose the BBU to high temperatures.
power load on the BBU. ▪ Application SW should then start an operation to save any critical data from the DIMM memory into one or both of the M.2 SSDs located on the canister. BBU power is expected to last about 300 seconds in this mode. After that time, the application SW should signal to the CPLD that it has completed, which allows the CPLD to power down the canister completely until AC power returns.
2 2 Pull the BBU out of the canister (2). BBU Installation BBU Installation Pr Procedur ocedure e 1 1 Insert the BBU into the canister (1). 2 2 Rotate the BBU handle to secure it in the chassis (2).
The laser may hurt and/or damage your eyes. ▪ Do not install, move or open the SC4200 or its modules when the device is connected to power. Doing so may damage equipment and cause serious burns to skin.
