Server Chassis Features
The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC217HD-R1400BP
2U chassis. Details on the chassis can be found in Chapter 6.
System Power
The SC217HD-R1400BP includes a redundant (dual) 1400W power supply, which
provides power to both serverboards (nodes). If either power supply fails, the other
will allow the system to continue to run.
SAS/SATA Subsystem
The SC217HD chassis was designed to support 24 2.5" SAS/SATA hard drives,
which are hot-swappable units. Twelve hard drives are assigned to each node in
the system.
Control Panel
The SC217HD-R1400BP features two independant control panels. Each control
panel has LEDs to indicate power on, network activity, power fail, fan fail, system
overheat conditions and the UID LED for its own specifi c node. Each control panel
also includes a main power button and a UID button.
Rear I/O
Each node provides slots for two low-profi le PCI Express x16 expansion cards and
includes one COM port, two USB ports, one VGA port, two Gb Ethernet ports and
one dedicated IPMI (LAN) port. See Chapter 6 for details.
Cooling System
The chassis has an innovative cooling design that features four 8-cm high-perfor-
mance fans. A fan speed control setting in BIOS allows fan speed to be determined
by system temperature. See Chapter 6 for details.
