1-4 2U Twin : System Notes
2
As a 2U Twin confi guration, the 6026TT-HT(R)F/HIBX(R)F/HIBQ(R)F is a unique
server 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 independant
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.

System Power

6026TT-HTF/HIBXF/HIBQF: a single 1400W power supply is 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.
6026TT-HTRF/HIBXRF/HIBQRF: this version of the server has an additional
1400W power supply module (two total) for power redundancy. If a power supply
module fails the other backup module will keep the system running until it can be
replaced.

SATA Backplane/Drives

As a system, the 6026TT-HT(R)F/HIBX(R)F/HIBQ(R)F supports the use of twelve
SATA drives. A single SATA backplane works to apply system-based control for
power and fan speed functions, yet at the same time logically connects a set of
three SATA drives to each serverboard. Consequently, RAID setup is limited to
a three-drive scheme (RAID cannot be spread across all twelve drives). See the
Drive Bay Installation/Removal section in Chapter 6 for the logical hard drive and
node confi guration.
