SUPERSERVER 6026TT-GTRF/GIBXRF/GIBQRF User's Manual
1-4 2U Twin: System Notes
As a 2U Twin confi guration, the 6026TT-GTRF/GIBXRF/GIBQRF is a unique server
system. With two system boards incorporated into a single chassis acting as two
separate nodes, there are several points you should keep in mind.
Nodes
Each of the two serverboards act as a separate node in the system. As independant
nodes, each may be powered off and on without affecting the others. In addition,
each node is a hot-swappable unit that may be removed from the rear of the chassis.
The nodes are connected to the server backplane by means of an adapter card.
System Power
The server has an additional 1400W power supply module (two total) for power
redundancy. If a power supply module fails the other backup module will keep the
system running until it can be replaced.
SATA Backplane/Drives
As a system, the 6026TT-GTRF/GIBXRF/GIBQRF supports the use of twelve SATA
drives (six per node). A single backplane works to apply system-based control for
power and fan speed functions, yet at the same time logically connects a set of
six SATA drives to each serverboard. Consequently, RAID setup is limited to a
six-drive scheme (RAID cannot be spread across all twelve drives). See the Drive
Bay Installation/Removal section in Chapter 6 for the logical hard drive and node
confi guration.
1-5 GPU Subsystem
The 6026TT-GTRF/GIBXRF/GIBQRF is a GPU-ready server. It can support two
GPUs (one in each node) with multiple x16 non-blocking native Gen2 PCI-Express
connectivity.
Notes: The GPUs process complex image calculations and then route the data out
through the VGA port on the serverboard.
