The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC216E16-R920LPB
server chassis.
System Power
The SC216E16-R920LPB features a redundant (two separate power modules)
920W high-efficiency power supply with I

C. This power redundancy feature allows
you to replace a failed power supply without shutting down the system.
Hard Drives
The SC216E16-R920LPB chassis was designed to support 24 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 2027R-E1R24N provides you with system
monitoring and control. LEDs indicate system power, HDD activity, network activ-
ity, system overheat/fan fail and power supply failure. A main power button and a
system reset button are also included.
Cooling System
The SC216E16-R920LPB chassis includes three 8-cm hot-plug system 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 module also includes a cooling fan.
