protection

 

 

 

 

 

 

Storage

 

Drives are installed into configurable (one or two) drive bay modules that provide

 

 

hot-pluggable front-panel access.

 

 

Each drive bay module can hold up to eight 2.5-inch SAS1 or SATA2 hard drives or

 

 

solid state drives, for a total of 16 drives.

 

 

The server also includes an internal USB 2.0 port on the motherboard.

 

 

The server also includes two internal bays for SD cards.

 

 

 

Disk

There are also two mounting points inside the chassis for the optional LSI RAID

 

 

battery backup units that can be used with the controller cards.

 

 

 

RAID Backup

 

There are two mounting points inside the chassis (on the removable air baffle) that

 

 

can be used for Supercap power module backup units.

 

 

 

PCIe I/O

 

Seven PCIe3 expansion slots:

 

 

Two full-height, half-length, x16 horizontal slots on riser cards

 

 

Five half-height, half-length, x8 slots on motherboard

 

 

See Replacing a PCIe Card, page 3-40for slot specifications.

 

 

 

InfiniBand

 

The bus slots in this server support the InfiniBand architecture.

 

 

 

Network and

 

The server provides these rear panel connectors:

management I/O

One 10/100/1000 dedicated management Ethernet port

 

 

 

 

Four 1-Gb Base-T Ethernet ports

 

 

One RS-232 serial connector

 

 

One 15-pin VGA4 connector

 

 

Three USB5 2.0 connectors

 

 

The server also has one front-panel KVM connector that is used with the included

 

 

KVM cable, which provides two USBs, one VGA, and one serial connector.

 

 

 

WoL

 

The 1-Gb Base-T Ethernet LAN ports support the wake-on-LAN (WoL) standard.

 

 

 

Power

 

Two power supplies, 1200 W each.

 

 

Redundant as 1+1.

 

 

 

ACPI

 

This server supports the advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) 4.0

 

 

standard.

 

 

 

Cooling
