1-2 Serverboard Features
The SuperStorageSystem 2028R-E1CR24L is built around the X10DRH-iT, a dual
processor serverboard based on the Intel C612 chipset. Below are the main features
of the X10DRH-iT. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset.)
Processors
The X10DRH-iT supports single or dual Intel® Xeon E5-2600 (v3/v4) Series pro-
cessors. Please refer to the serverboard description pages on our website for a
complete listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com).
Memory
The X10DRH-iT has 16 DIMM slots that can support up to 2 TB of Load Reduced
(LRDIMM) or 1 TB of Registered (RDIMM) ECC DDR4-2400/2133/1866/1600
memory. See Chapter 5 for details.
Main Storage Controller
An LSI 3008 controller card is included in the system to support up to 240 SATA
3.0/SAS 3.0 hard drives. The SATA/SAS drives are hot-swappable units.
Serial ATA
A SATA controller is integrated into the chipset to provide 10 SATA 3.0 (6/Gbps)
ports (I-SATA0-5 supported by the Intel PCH and a vertical. 4-port S-SATA con-
nection supported by the Intel SCU), which are RAID 0, 1 and 10 supported. The
SATA drives are hot-swappable units. (RAID 5 supported with Windows OS only.)
PCI Expansion Slots
The X10DRH-iT has six PCI-Express 3.0 x8 slots (CPU1 Slots 1-3 and CPU2 Slots
5-7) and one PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slot (CPU2 Slot4). PCI slots 1 and 2 are occupied
by a JBOD expansion port and a disk controller, respectively.
Rear I/O Ports
The I/O ports include one COM port, a VGA port, four USB (two USB 3.0 and two
USB 2.0), two 10G (TLAN) Ethernet ports, a dedicated IPMI LAN port and dual
JBOD expansion ports. A UID (Unit Identifier) button and LED are also located
beside the VGA port.
Onboard Graphics
Graphics are provided by an onboard ASpeed AST 2400 BMC, which supports IPMI.
1-3 Server Chassis Features
The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC216BE1C-R920LPB
server chassis.
System Power
The SC216BE1C-R920LPB features a redundant, hot-plug (two separate power
modules) 920W high-efficiency power supply with I
2
C. This power redundancy fea-
ture allows you to replace a failed power supply without shutting down the system.
Hard Drives
The SC216BE1C-R920LPB chassis was designed to support 24 hot-swappable
SAS or SATA hard drives.
Front Control Panel
The control panel on the SuperServer 2028R-E1CR24N provides you with system
monitoring and control. LEDs indicate system power, HDD activity, network activity
and power supply failure. A Universal Information LED indicates overheat condi-
tions and fan and power failure. A main power button and a system reset button
are also included.
Cooling System
The SC216BE1C-R920LPB chassis includes three 8-cm hot-plug system fans lo-
cated in the middle section of the chassis. An air shroud channels the airflow from
the system fans to efficiently cool the processors and memory. Each power supply
module also includes a cooling fan.
