Figure 1 Server (Front View With Bezel) Figure 2 Server (Front View Without Bezel) Removable Media Drives PCI Power Supplies Power Switch Hard Disk Drives Front OLR Fans Bulk Power Supplies The server has the following dimensions: • Depth: Defined by cable management constraints to fit into a standard 36-inch deep rack: 25.
26.7 inches from front rack column to core I/O card connector surface 30 inches overall package dimension, including 2.7 inches protruding in front of the front rack columns • Width: 17.5 inches, constrained by EIA standard 19-inch racks • Height: 17 U (29.55 inches), constrained by package density The mass storage section located in the front enables access to removable media drives without removal of the bezel. The mass storage bay accommodates two 5.25-inch removable media drives and up to four 3.
The cell boards are located on the right side of the server behind a removable side cover. For rack mounted servers on slides, the rack front door requires removal if it is hinged on the right side of the rack. Removal will allow unrestricted access to server sides after sliding server out for service.. The two redundant core I/O cards are positioned vertically end-to-end at the rear of the chassis. Redundant line cords attach to the AC power receptacles at the bottom rear.
Figure 5 Cell Board The server has a 48 V distributed power system and receives the 48 V power from the system backplane board. The cell board contains DC-to-DC converters to generate the required voltage rails. The DC-to-DC converters on the cell board do not provide N+1 redundancy.
Central Processor Units The cell board can hold up to four CPU modules. Each CPU module can contain up to two CPU cores on a single die. Modules are populated in increments of one. On a cell board, the processor modules must be the same family, type, and clock frequencies. Mixing of different processors on a cell or a partition is not supported. See Table 1 for the load order that must be maintained when adding processor modules to the cell board.
