1-5 SBB: Storage Bridge Bay
The 6038R-DE2CR16L Super SBB was designed to function as a fully redundant,
fault-tolerant "cluster-in-a-box" system. The standard support for 16 3.5" hot-swap
HDDs (SAS2 or SAS3) may be expanded to support additional storage with the
optional SBB JBOD SSG-937R-E2CJB configuration.
The Super SBB provides hot-swappable canisters for all active components. Each
of the two serverboard canisters support dual-processors, 8 DIMM slots, 3 PCI-E
Gen3 slots and 12 Gbps SAS (SAS3). The 6038R-DE2CR16L features eight lanes
of PCI-E 3.0 connecting the left server module with the right server module. This
connection is used for high speed data transfers between nodes for High Avail-
ability/server fail-over. This fail-over capability is fully dependent on the software/
OS installed and how the chosen software uses the connection (Active-Active or
Active-Passive). 6038R-DE2CR16L hardware is supplied without a storage OS or
fail-over software.
Equipped with 1200W 80PLUS Titanium Level redundant power supplies and re-
dundant cooling fans, the 6038R-DE2CR16L offers fully redundant high-availability
while maintaining energy efficient operation.
