1-2 Serverboard Features

At the heart of the A+ Server 2021TM-BTRF/BIBXRF lies the H8DMT-F/H8DMT-

IBXF, a dual processor serverboard based on the nVidia MCP55 Pro Chipset and

designed to provide maximum performance. Up to four of these serverboards can

be mounted in the SC827 chassis. The 2021TM-BTRF server contains the H8DMT-F

serverboard, while the 2021TM-BIBXRF contains the H8DMT-IBXF serverboard.

The difference between the H8DMT-F and H8DMT-IBXF serverboards are the

availability of InﬁniBand components. Refer to the table below for details.

A+ SERVER 2021TM-BTRF/BIBXRF User's Manual

Front Control Panel

SC827 models include four front panels on the handles of the chassis which control

each of the systems. Each control panel on the A+ Server 2021TM-BTRF/BIBXRF

provides you with system monitoring and control for one server node. LEDs indicate

system power, HDD activity, network activity, system overheat and power supply

failure. A main power button and a system reset button are also included.

I/O Backplane

The SC827 is an ATX form factor chassis designed to be used in a 2U rackmount

conﬁguration. The SAS827B I/O backplane provides a low-proﬁle add-on card

slot, a COM port, a VGA port, two USB 2.0 ports and two gigabit Ethernet ports

per node.

For more information regarding the backplane, view the appendices found at the

end of this manual.

Cooling System

The SC827 chassis accepts four system fans powered from either backpane or the

serverboards. If not powered from the backpane, the SC827B model chassis powers

two fans from two motherboards, so that when one of the motherboard drawers is

removed, the second motherboard will continue running both fans.

Air Shrouds

The SC827 chassis includes four mylar air shrouds that direct the airﬂow where

cooling is needed on each serverboard. Always use the air shroud included with

your chassis on each serverboard.

Mounting Rails

The SC827 includes a set of quick-release rails, and can be placed in a rack for

secure storage and use. To setup your rack, follow the step-by-step instructions

included in this manual.

Chapter 1: Introduction

1-5 2U Twin2: System Notes

As a 2U Twin2conﬁguration, the 2021TM-BTRF/BIBXRF is a unique server system.

With four system boards incorporated into a single chassis acting as four separate

nodes, there are several points you should keep in mind.

Nodes

Each of the four 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.

Note: a guide pin is located between the upper and lower nodes on the inner chassis

wall. This guide pin also acts as a “stop” when a node is fully installed. If too much

force is used when inserting a node this pin may break off. Take care to slowly slide

a node in until you hear the “click” of the locking tab seating itself.

System Power

Asingle 1200W power supply is used to provide the power for all four serverboards.

Each serverboard however, can be shut down independently of the other with the

power button on its own control panel. As an option, you may add an additional

1200W power supply module for power redundancy.

SATA Backplane/Drives

As a system, the 2021TM-BTRF/BIBXRF supports the use of twelve SATA drives.

A single SATA backplane works to apply system-based control for power and fan

speed functions, yet at the same time logically connects a set of three SATA drives

to each serverboard. Consequently, RAID setup is limited to a three-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 conﬁguration.

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your A+ Server 2021TM-BTRF/

BIBXRF up and running. Following these steps in the order given should enable

you to have the system operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick

setup assumes that your system has come to you with the processors and memory

preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard,

processors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in

each step for details on installing speciﬁc components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the A+ Server 2021TM-BTRF/BIBXRF was shipped in

and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should

ﬁle a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the A+ Server 2021TM-

BTRF/BIBXRF. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated.

Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic ﬁelds are generated.

You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Read the Rack and

Server Precautions in the next section.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The box the A+ Server 2021TM-BTRF/BIBXRF was shipped in should include two

sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws you

will need to install the system into the rack. Follow the steps in the order given to

complete the installation process in a minimum amount of time. Please read this

section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the

sections that follow.

Choosing a Setup Location

Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door•

completely (~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back

of the rack to allow for sufﬁcient airﬂow and ease in servicing.

Warnings and Precautions!

Rack Precautions

Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to•

the ﬂoor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple•

rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.

Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the•

rack.

You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more si-•

multaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

Server Precautions

Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.•

Determine the placement of each component in the rack• before you install the

rails.

Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack ﬁrst, and then•

work up.

Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from•

power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a

power failure.

Allow any hot plug drives and power supply modules to cool before touching•

them.

Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers•

closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
