1-2 Serverboard Features
The 6037R-E1R16N is built around the X9DRi-LN4F+, a dual processor serverboard
based on the Intel C600 chipset and designed to provide maximum performance.
Below are the main features of the X9DRi-LN4F+. (See Figure 1-1 for a block
diagram of the chipset).
Processors
The X9DRi-LN4F+ supports single or dual Intel® Xeon E5-2600 Series processors.
Please refer to the serverboard description pages on our web site for a complete
listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com).
Memory
The X9DRi-LN4F+ has 24 DIMM slots that can support up to 1.5 TB of LRDIMM
(Load Reduced DIMM), 768 GB of RDIMM (Registered DIMMs) or 128 GB of
UDIMM (Unbuffered DIMMs) ECC/Non-ECC DDR3-1866/1600/1333/1066/800
SDRAM. See Chapter 5 for details.
Serial ATA
A SATA controller is also integrated into the chipset to provide two SATA 3.0 (6/Gbps)
and four SATA 2.0 (3 Gbps) ports, which are RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 supported. The
SATA drives are hot-swappable units. RAID 5 supported with Windows OS only).
Note:
The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-
swap capability and RAID function of the SATA drives.
PCI Expansion Slots
The X9DRi-LN4F+ has four PCI-E 3.0 x16 slots, one PCI-E 3.0 x8 slot and one
PCI-E 3.0 x4 (in a x8) slot. The default configuration includes an add-on card (AOC)
populating Slot #1 (PCI-E 3.0 x 16 slot) and a port plate with a JBOD expansion
port occupying slot #2 (PCI-E 3.0 x4).
Rear I/O Ports
The color-coded I/O ports include one COM port, a VGA port, four USB 2.0 ports
(additional USB headers are included on the serverboard), four gigabit Ethernet
ports and one external MiniSAS JBOD expansion port. A dedicated IPMI LAN port
is also included.
1-3 Server Chassis Features
The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC836E16-R920B
server chassis.
System Power
The SC836E16-R920B features a redundant (two separate power modules) 920W
high-efficiency power supply with I 2 C. This power redundancy feature allows you to
replace a failed power supply without shutting down the system.
Hard Drives
The SC836E16-R920B chassis was designed to support sixteen dual-channel
SATA hard drives, which are hot-swappable units.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-
swap capability of the SATA drives.
Front Control Panel
The control panel on the SuperServer 6037R-E1R16N provides you with system
monitoring and control. LEDs indicate system power, HDD activity, network activity,
system overheat 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 SC836E16-R920B chassis includes three 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. Two additional 8-cm
fans are located at the back of the chassis to expel hot air from the system. Each
power supply modules also include a cooling fan.
