1-2 Serverboard Features
The SuperStorageSystem 6048R-E1CR36N is built around the X10DRi-T4+, a
dual processor serverboard based on the Intel C612 chipset. Below are the main
features of the X10DRi-T4+. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset.)
Processors
The X10DRi-T4+ supports single or dual Intel® Xeon E5-2600 (v3/v4) Series pro-
cessors. Please refer to the serverboard description pages on our web site for a
complete listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com).
Memory
The X10DRi-T4+ has 24 DIMM slots that can support up to 3 TB of ECC LRDIMM
(Load Reduced DIMMs) or 1.5 TB of ECC RDIMM (Registered DIMMs) DDR4-
2400/2133/1866/1600 memory. See Chapter 5 for details.
Main Storage Controller
An LSI 3108 controller card is included in the system to support up to 240 SATA
3.0/SAS 3.0 hard drives. (RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 supported). The SATA/
SAS drives are hot-swappable units.
Serial ATA
A SATA controller is also integrated into the chipset to provide 10 SATA 3.0 (6/Gbps)
ports (I-SATA0-5 supported by Intel PCH and S-SATA0-3 supported by 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
PCI slots 3 and 4 on the X10DRi-T4+ are occupied by a hardware RAID controller
and a JBOD expansion port, respectively. This means one PCI-E 3.0 x16 and three
PCI-E 3.0 x8 slots are available for add-on cards.
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), four 10G (TLAN) Ethernet ports and a dedicated IPMI LAN port.
1-3 Server Chassis Features
The SC847BE1C-R1K28LPB is a 4U form factor chassis designed to be used in
a storage configuration. The following is a general outline of the main features of
the chassis.
System Power
The SC847BE1C-R1K28LPB features a redundant, hot-plug (two separate power
modules) 1280W 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 SC847BE1C-R1K28LPB chassis was designed to support 36 SATA/SAS hard
drives (24 on the front of the chassis and 12 located on the rear of the chassis),
which are hot-swappable units.
Front Control Panel
The control panel on the front of the chassis provides you with system monitoring
and control. LEDs indicate system power, HDD activity, network activity, system
overheat/fan fail and power supply failure. A main power button and a system reset
button are also included. In addition, two USB ports and a COM port have been
incorporated into the front of the chassis for convenient access.
Cooling System
The SC847BE1C-R1K28LPB chassis includes seven 8-cm hot-plug system cooling
fans located 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.
