Memory Support
The SBI-7226T-T2 blade module supports up to 64 GB of ECC Registered DDR3-1333/ 1066/800 SDRAM or 16 GB of ECC Unbuffered DDR3-1333/1066/800 SDRAM in six DIMM sockets. See Section 3-5for further details on mainboard memory installation.
Hard Disk Drives
The SBI-7226T-T2 blade unit accommodates up to four 2.5" SATA hard disk drives, two per node, which are mounted in drive “carriers”. The drives are hot-swappable and can be removed or replaced without powering down the blade unit they reside in. The four drives can be used to set up a RAID array (SATA RAID 0 or 1 only) or JBOD. These drives use a yellow color for the Blade HDD active LED.
WARNING: Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro chassis and servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro WEB SITE at http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/files/ storage/SAS-1-CompList-110909.pdf.
WARNING: To maintain proper airflow, both hard drive bays must have drive carriers inserted during operation whether or not a drive is installed in the carrier.
