Preface

About This Manual

This manual is written for professional system integrators and PC technicians. It

provides information for the installation and use of the SCF424 2U chassis. Instal-

lation and maintenance should be performed by experienced technicians only.

The FatTwin™ is the latest addition to Supermicro's evolving line of Twin Architecture

SuperServer® solutions. The 4U FatTwin greatly expands computer and storage

capacities beyond Supermicro's existing 2U Twin2™ and 1U Twin™ SuperServer®

systems to achieve increased performance with lower power consumption. By virtue

of its shared components the FatTwin improves cost-effectiveness and reliability,

while its modular architecture makes it exible to congure and easy to maintain.

The FatTwin is available in a variety of congurations, with options for hot-swappable

hard drives, xed hard drives, redundant power supplies, front or rear I/O, PCI and

networking options and more. Its high-efciency, highly effective shared cooling

architecture allows the FatTwin to operate in high-temperature, free-air cooled

environments up to 47°C, providing considerable cost savings and improved TCO.

Versatile congurations allow the FatTwin to be optimized for many different environ-

ments including Data Center, Cloud Computing, and HPC; Engineering, Research,

and GPU projects; File and Storage Server deployments; and General Server and

Enterprise Server applications.

Introduction

1-1 Overview

Supermicro's SCF424 "Fat Twin" chassis is designed to optimize performance per

Watt and per dollar with up to four independent hot-pluggable DP computing nodes,

efciently organized into a 4U form factor. Each node provides six 2.5" hard drives

(twenty-four total) or eight 3.5" hard drives (thirty-two total) or four 3.5" HDD (six-

teen total) for RAID 5 data protection, and is contained in a convenient module to

facilitate easy system upgrades, installation and maintenance. The SCF424 chas-

sis is equipped with high-efciency optional 1 + 1 Platinum Level redundant power

supplies (95%+), power-efcient server board and optimized cooling subsystems.

The Fat Twin is the best choice for HPC, datacenter and cost-effective blade-type
