Introduction

1-1 Overview

The SuperServer 6027TR-H71QRF/H71FRF/H71RF is a high-end server comprised

of two main subsystems: the SC827HQ-R1620B 2U server chassis and the

X9DRT-HIBQF/HIBFF/HF dual processor serverboard in four hot-swap nodes.

Please refer to our web site for information on operating systems that have been

certifi ed for use with the system (www.supermicro.com).

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

been included with the SuperServer 6027TR-H71QRF/H71FRF/H71RF server, as

listed below:
