Introduction

1-1 Overview

The SuperServer 5037MR-H8TRF is an eight node, Microcloud

TM

 server system 

comprised of two main subsystems: the SC938BH-R1K62B 3U chassis and eight 
X9SRD-F motherboards. Please refer to our web site for information on operating 
systems that have been certi

fi

 ed for use with the 5037MR-H8TRF (www.supermicro.

com).

In addition to the motherboard and chassis, various hardware components have 
been included with the 5037MR-H8TRF, as listed below:

• 

Four chassis fans (FAN-0133L4)

• 

One passive heatsink, each node (SNK-)

• 

One air shroud, each node (MCP-310-93803-0B) 

• 

One riser card, each node (RSC-RR1U-E8)

• 

SATA 

Accessories 

   

    

One SATA backplane (BPN-SAS-938H)   

 

 

 

Sixteen hot-swap hard drive carriers (MCP-220-00094-0B)

• 

One rail kit (MCP-290-00053-0N)
