Power Cord
Each power supply module has a C-20 type socket (IEC-60320-C20) for AC power and
the power cord must have a C-19 type connector (IEC-60320-C19) to connect to the
power supply.
A plastic locking clip partially covering the socket was designed to prevent the power
supply module from being removed with the power cord still connected.
Refer to Appendix A for power/amperage calculation tables.Refer to the supermicro web
site for further details on power cords.
Power Supply Failure
If a power supply or a fan in a power supply fails, the system management software will
notify you of the situation. In either case, you will need to replace the power supply
module with another identical one. Please note that if a power supply fails, its fans will
continue to operate to provide system cooling. For this reason, a failed power supply
should remain installed in the enclosure until a replacement unit is ready.
See Chapter 5 for the procedure on replacing power supplies.
1-7 Special Design Features
Supermicro's 8U SuperBlade offers special design features, some of which no other
blade server can duplicate. These features give you extraordinary flexibility in
configuring a blade system for your own particular needs.
Operating System Support
Please check with the SMC web page for certified OS at: https://www.supermicro.com/
support/resources/OS/OS_Certification_Intel.cfm .
Remote Management
The Chassis Management Module (CMM) can manage the whole enclosure and any
individual blade module by switching around to it.
NOTE: Some Blade modules already have onboard BMC.
An additional feature for the SBE-822 enclosures is an extra IPMI and Com port in card
(part # FPB-FP820B-IPMI) that attaches to the left carry handle of the enclosure. This
allows you a connection in the front of the enclosure for connection to the system.
Computing Density/Power
Dual and quad core processors are supported in the blade module systems. Each 8U
SuperBlade mainboard supports two or four processors and up to 2 TB of main memory.
This translates to a maximum potential of up to 40 processors and 61 TB of memory per
8U enclosure or 200 processors and 307 TB of memory for a 42U rack.
