About This Manual
This manual is written for professional system integrators and PC technicians. It
provides information for the installation and use of the SuperServer 6028R-WTR(T).
Installation and maintainance should be performed by experienced technicians only.
The SuperServer 6028R-WTR(T) is a high-end server based on the
SC815TS-R740WBP 2U rackmountable chassis and the X10DRW-i(T) dual
processor serverboard. The SuperServer 6028R-WTR(T) system's WIO platform
has major advantages over E-ATX/ATX platforms in small form factor 1U and 2U
systems by increasing I/O performance by use of multiple full-height, full-length
add-on cards. Please refer to our web site for updates on supported processors.
The only difference between the 6028R-WTR and 6028R-WTRT servers is that
the 6028R-WTR use 1Gps dual LAN ports and the 6028R-WTRT uses 10Gps dual
LAN ports.
