Figure 1-2 shows the rear panel features of the system.
See Status LEDs and Buttons for explanations of LED states.
Figure 1-2 Rear Panel Features
This section contains the following topics:
This section shows the locations of the replaceable components that are inside the main chassis. Some components are accessible from the rear panel and others are accessible by opening the top covers.
The top view of the system in Figure 1-3 shows the top covers open.
Note The internal drives and cooling fans in the system are hot-swappable and are accessed by opening the top covers. When you rack and cable the system, be sure to allow enough slack in the power and other cables so that the system can be pulled out on the slide rails far enough to allow clearance for opening the top covers.

Table 1-1 lists the features of the system.
Two Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 Series processors inside the server node. |
|
The system has the following storage options:
All drives are hot-swappable1. |
|
There is one dedicated mezzanine-style socket for a RAID controller with a 1-GB or 4-GB cache inside the server node. For a list of supported RAID controller options, see RAID Controller Considerations. |
|
The optional supercap power module (SCPM) mounts to the RAID controller card that is inside the server node. |
|
The system can have one or two system I/O controllers (SIOCs). These each provide rear-panel connectivity. The ports differ, depending on which adapter card is installed in the SIOC: – Four 1-Gb BASE-T Ethernet ports (RJ-45) – One 1-Gb dedicated management Ethernet port – One 1-Gb dedicated management Ethernet port The server node also has one rear-panel KVM connector that can be used with a KVM cable, which provides two USB, one VGA, and one serial connector. |
|
The system includes one internal USB 2.0 slot inside the server node. |
|
Two or four power supplies, 1050 W each (hot-swappable and redundant as 2+2). |
|
Four internal fan modules that pull front-to-rear cooling, hot-swappable. Each fan module contains two fans. |
