Chapter 1: Introduction
Details on installation of memory modules into the SBI-7127RG-E blade server module
are found in
Chapter 3: "Setup and Installation" on page 3-1 .
Storage
The SBI-7427RG blade server module does not contain any hard disk drives or drive
carriers. The SBI-7127RG-E blade module however does include a SATA port for an
optional SATA DOM module which you may use instead as a storage device for files or
an operating system. Alternately, you may install an SSD in the system for storage. As a
final option, a USB port is available on the serverboard for use of a USB drive for
storage.
Density
A maximum of ten blade modules may be installed into a single blade enclosure. Each
blade enclosure is a 7U form factor, so a standard 42U rack may accommodate up to six
enclosures with 60 blade modules, or the equivalent of 60 1U servers. With the inclusion
of six CMM modules, twelve Gigabit Ethernet switches and six InfiniBand switches, this
would occupy up to 84U space in a conventional 1U server configuration.
Figure 1-4 displays a view of a full rack with six blade enclosures in it, each with ten
blades to an enclosure.
GPU/Xeon Phi Modules
The SBI-7127RG-E blade module allows you to install one or two modules. Supported
modules include one or two Intel Xeon Phi modules, or alternately one or two Nividia
Grid or Tesla GPU modules. See
Section 3-7: Installing GPU Expansion Cards on
page 3-13 for details on installation.
