Ethernet Ports An Intel® network controller is integrated into each of the serverboards to support two Gigabit LAN ports (100/1000Base-T/1000BaseTX, RJ45 output).
Chapter 1: Introduction Server Chassis Features The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC827HD-R1400B 2U chassis. Details on the chassis can be found in Chapter 6. System Power When confi gured as a SuperServer 6026TT-HD/D6 series server, the SC827HD- R1400B includes a redundant (dual) 1400W power supply, which provides power to all four serverboards (nodes).
SUPERSERVER 6026TT-HD/D6 Series User's Manual 2U Twin: System Notes As a 2U Twin confi guration, the 6026TT-HD/D6 series is a unique server system. With two system boards incorporated into a single chassis acting as two separate nodes, there are several points you should keep in mind. Nodes Each of the two serverboards act as a separate node in the system.

Chapter 2: Server Installation Rack Mounting Considerations Ambient Operating Temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tempera- ture of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient tempera- ture (Tmra).
SUPERSERVER 6026TT-HD/D6 Series User's Manual Removing the Protective Film Before operating the server for the fi rst time, it is important to remove the protec- tive fi lm covering the top of the chassis, in order to allow for proper ventilation and cooling.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Rack Mounting Instructions This section provides information on installing the SC827 chassis into a rack unit with the quick-release rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
SUPERSERVER 6026TT-HD/D6 Series User's Manual Installing the Inner Rail Extensions The SC827 chassis includes a set of inner rails in two sections: inner rails and inner rail extensions. The inner rails are pre-attached to the chassis, and do not interfere with normal use of the chassis if you decide not to use a server rack.
