Chapter 1: Introduction
Memory
The SBI-7127RG GPU blade module has eight (8) 240-pin DIMM sockets that can
support up to 256 GB of DDR3 1600/1333/1066 MHz speed SDRAM. Both interleaved
and non-interleaved memory are supported, so you may populate any number of DIMM
slots.
Please refer to the Supermicro web site for a list of supported memory
(
www.supermicro.com/products/superblade
). The detailed specifications for a blade
module will contain a link to a list of recommended memory sizes and manufacturers.
Details on installation of memory modules into the SBI-7127RG GPU blade module are
found in
Chapter 3: "Setup and Installation" on page 3-1
.
Storage
The SBI-7427RG GPU blade module does not contain any hard disk drives or drive
carriers. The SBI-7127RG blade module however does include a SATA port for an
optional SATA DOM module which you may use instead as a storage device for files or
an operating system.
Density
A maximum of ten blade modules may be installed into a single blade enclosure. Each
blade enclosure is a 7U form factor, so a standard 42U rack may accommodate up to six
enclosures with 60 blade modules, or the equivalent of 60 1U servers. With the inclusion
of six CMM modules, twelve Gigabit Ethernet switches and six InfiniBand switches, this
would occupy up to 84U space in a conventional 1U server configuration.
Figure 1-1
displays a view of a full rack with six blade enclosures in it, each with ten
blades to an enclosure.
