Chapter 1: Introduction
Serial ATA
A Serial ATA controller is integrated into the C602 to provide up to a ten-port SATA
subsystem, (two SATA 3 (6 Gb/s), four SATA 2 (3 Gb/s and four SCU SATA2 (3
Gb/s)) which is either RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 (AHCI SATA2), RAID 0 and 1 (AHCI
SATA3) or RAID 0 and 1 (SCU SATA2) supported. The SATA drives are hot-
swappable units.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-
swap capability and RAID function of the SATA drives.
SAS
An LSI ® SAS2208 SAS2 controller is integrated into the BPN-ADP-S2208L-H8IR-
O-P expansion card to provide an eight port 6 Gb/s SAS2 (Serial Attached SCSI)
subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 supported. The SAS drives are
hot-swappable units.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the
hotswap capability and RAID function of the SAS drives.
Note: The BPN-ADP-S2208L-H8IR-O-P SAS expansion cards for the FatTwin
F627R3-R72B+ have an OPTIONAL battery backup system for each motherboard
node that will keep the hard drives running for a short period of time in the case
of a power supply failure or power interruption. The battery backup system is not
activated by default, so it needs to be confi gured to activate its use.
These can be purchased optionally from Supermicro as part numbers BTR-022L-
LSI00279 and MCP-450-00001-ON, one each per node.
PCI Expansion Slots
Each node of the FatTwin F627R3-RTB+/R72B+ has 1x PCI-E 3.0 x16 low-profi le
and 1x PCI-E 3.0 x8 micro low-profi le slot on the motherboard.
Onboard Controllers/Ports
One Fast UART 16550 serial port, one 9-pin RS-232 port are located on the
serverboard. The color-coded I/O ports include one COM port, a VGA (monitor)
port, two USB 2.0 ports, an IPMI dedicated LAN port and two Gigabit Ethernet ports.
