Overview

The Supermicro SuperServer 6113L-8/6113L-i is a high-end dual processor, 1U

rackmount server that features some of the most advanced technology currently

available. The SuperServer 6113L-8/6113L-i is comprised of two main sub-

systems: the SC813HS-500/SC813Hi-500 1U rackmount chassis and the i2DML-

8G2/i2DML-iG2 dual Itanium2 processor serverboard. Please refer to our web

site for information on operating systems that have been certified for use with the

SuperServer 6113L-8/6113L-i (www.supermicro.com).

In addition to the mainboard and chassis, various hardware components may

have been included with your SuperServer 6113L-8/6113L-i, as listed below:

Two (2) 1U Itanium2 CPU heatsinks (SNK-0046)

One (1) heatsink retention socket with hex key (SKT-0147-RM-IT2)

Two (2) power pods: Itanium2 voltage regulator modules (VRM-0008)

One (1) slim CD-ROM drive (CDM-TEAC-24(B))

One (1) riser card (CSE-RR1U-X)

Four (4) Ultra320 SCSI drive carriers (CSE-PT-39(B), 6113L-8 only)

Four (4) IDE drive carriers (CSE-PT-42(B), 6113L-i only)

One (1) front access USB and COM port tray (CSE-PT40(B))

Rackmount hardware (with screws):
