1-4 1U Twin: System Notes

As a 1U Twin configuration, the 6015TC-T/6015TC-10G is a unique server system. With two system boards incorporated into a single chassis, there are several points you should keep in mind.

System Power

A single power supply is used to provide the power for both serverboards. Each serverboard however, can be shut down independently of the other with the power button on its own control panel.

Although they share a common power supply, the I2C signals used for power supply monitoring are received by the primary serverboard only. (When viewed from the front of the chassis, the serverboard on the left is referred to as the primary board and the serverboard on the right as the secondary.)

SATA Backplane/Drives

As a system, the 6015TC-T/6015TC-10G supports the use of four SATA drives. The SATA backplane works as a single backplane divided into two sections. This means that while a single power connector is used and functions such as overheat- ing apply to both sections together, each pair of SATA drives is logically connected to its own serverboard. Consequently, RAID setup is limited to a two-drive scheme (RAID cannot be spread across all four drives).
