Chapter 1: Introduction
IPMI
IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is a hardware-level interface speci-
fi cation that provides remote access, monitoring and administration for Supermicro
server platforms. IPMI allows server administrators to view a server’s hardware
status remotely, receive an alarm automatically if a failure occurs, and power cycle
a system that is non-responsive.
Other Features
Other onboard features that promote system health include onboard voltage moni-
tors, a chassis intrusion header, auto-switching voltage regulators, chassis and CPU
overheat sensors, virus protection and BIOS rescue.
1-3 Server Chassis Features
System Power
The SC118GTQ-1400BP features a high-effi ciency 1400W power supply. The AC
power cord should be removed from the system before servicing or replacing the
power supply. See Chapter 6 for details.
SATA Subsystem
The SC118GTQ-1400BP chassis includes six 2.5" drive bays, which may be used
to house hot-swappable SATA drives. RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 are supported (RAID
5 is not supported with Linux OS).
Front Control Panel
The control panel provides a system monitoring and control interface. LEDs indicate
system power, HDD activity, network activity, system overheat, UID and power sup-
ply failure. A main power button and a system reset button are also included.
Cooling System
The SC118GTQ-1400BP has an innovative cooling design that includes eight 4-cm
counter-rotating PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) fans. The power supply module
also includes a cooling fan. All chassis and power supply fans operate continu-
ously. The GPU servers (1026GT-TF-105/205/107/207) include an air shroud (one
for each GPU card) to further help cool the GPUs. See note on the following page
regarding fan control.
