1-3 Server Chassis Features
System Power
The SC218GHTS-R2K03BP features a high-efciency 2000W redundant power
supply system composed of two hot-plug power modules. One power module may
be removed without shutting down the system. See Chapter 6 for details.
SATA Subsystem
The chassis includes ten 2.5" drive bays, which house hot-swappable SATA drives.
RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 are supported (RAID 5 is not supported with Linux OS).
Front Control Panel
The control panel provides a system monitoring and control interface. LEDs indicate
system power, HDD activity, network activity, and a system overheat/fan fail/ UID
LED. A main power button and a system reset button are also included.
Cooling System
The chassis has an innovative cooling design that includes ve 8-cm heavy-duty
fans. The power supply modules also include a cooling fan. All chassis and power
supply fans operate continuously.
1-4 GPU Subsystem
The 2028GR-TR/TRT/TRH/TRHT server represents one of Supermicro's massively
parallel processing multiple GPU/Xeon Phi servers, with support for up to six GPUs/
Xeon Phis. NVIDIA Kepler GPUs place this system at the forefront of today's GPU
computing solutions.
Please refer to the NVIDIA web site (www.nvidia.com) for details on Kepler GPUs.
The GPUs process complex image calculations and then route the data out through
the VGA port on the serverboard.
NVIDIA Kepler K10/K20/K40 GPUs have been tested for use with this system. Any
combination of these cards (up to a total of four/six) may have come bundled with
the system. They come with a passive heatsink attached.
Power Notes
To provide power for the GPU cards, connect the GPU power cable from each of
the GPUs to JPW3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 on the serverboard (one cable for each card).
