SuperWorkstation 7047A-73/7047A-T User's Manual

Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities (see Figure 4-1). This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recom- mended by the manufacturer (CR2032). Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.

DVD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a DVD-ROM drive. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazardous radiation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any uncon- ventional way.

Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive Tempera- ture Coefficient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one replaced. Contact technical support for details and support.

4-2 General Safety Precautions

!

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

Keep the area around the SuperWorkstation 7047A-73/7047A-T clean and free of clutter.

The 7047A-73/7047A-T weighs approximately 64 lbs (29.1 kg.) when fully loaded. When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift with your legs. Don't use the handles (if installed) to lift the chassis; the handles should only be used to pull the server out of the rack.

Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been re- moved away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be stepped on.

While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be pulled into a cooling fan.

Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.

7047A-73, 7047A-T specifications

The SUPER MICRO Computer 7047A-T and 7047A-73 are powerful and versatile server solutions designed to cater to a wide range of enterprise-level applications. These servers are ideal for demanding workloads, including virtualization, data analytics, and high-performance computing. They are part of the Supermicro SYS-7047A series, known for their exceptional reliability, scalability, and functionality.

One of the prominent features of the 7047A-T and 7047A-73 is their support for Intel Xeon processors. With dual-socket capabilities, these servers can accommodate up to 24 cores per CPU, providing substantial processing power for any application. The ability to use the latest Intel Xeon Scalable processors ensures that these servers can handle modern workloads efficiently and cost-effectively.

In terms of memory, the 7047A series supports up to 1TB of DDR4 RAM across 16 DIMM slots, enabling high memory bandwidth and capacity. This is particularly advantageous for memory-intensive applications such as database management systems and in-memory computing. The support for error-correcting code (ECC) memory enhances system reliability, which is crucial for enterprise environments.

The 7047A-T and 7047A-73 also feature multiple storage options, supporting up to 12 SATA drives and up to 6 NVMe drives, depending on the configuration. This flexibility allows users to customize their storage according to their specific needs, whether leveraging traditional hard drives for bulk storage or opting for SSDs for faster data access and retrieval speeds. Additionally, RAID support enhances data redundancy and performance, contributing to data integrity.

Networking is another strong suit of these servers. They come equipped with dual 10GbE LAN ports, providing high-speed connectivity to facilitate data transfer and communication between devices. This is crucial for applications that require rapid access to data across networks, such as cloud services or clustered computing environments.

Cooling efficiency has also been prioritized in the design of the 7047A series. Intelligent cooling technology helps maintain optimal operating temperatures by adjusting fan speeds based on workload demands. This not only ensures stable performance under load but also prolongs the lifespan of hardware components.

In summary, the SUPER MICRO Computer 7047A-T and 7047A-73 are robust servers designed to meet the high demands of modern enterprise applications. With powerful dual-socket Intel Xeon processors, substantial memory capacity, versatile storage options, advanced networking capabilities, and efficient cooling solutions, these servers are well-equipped to handle a variety of computing tasks, making them a compelling choice for businesses looking to enhance their IT infrastructure.
