Introduction

1-1 Overview

The Supermicro SuperServer 6015V-T/6015V-TLP is a dual processor, 1U rack-

mount server designed with cutting-edge technology. The 6015V-T/6015V-TLP is

comprised of two main subsystems: the SC811TQ-520/SC811TQ-280 1U chassis

and the X7DVL-E/X7DVL-i serverboard. Please refer to our web site for information

on operating systems that have been certiﬁ ed for use with the 6015V-T/6015V-

TLP.

In addition to the serverboard and chassis, various hardware components may have

been included with the 6015V-T/6015V-TLP, as listed below.

One (1) slim DVD-ROM drive (DVM-PNSC-824(B))
