S UPER S ERVER 6040 Manual You should also have received this User's Manual and several Supermicro diskettes, which contains various drivers and utilities. * Type and number depends upon the configuration ordered. 1-2 Server Chassis Features The SuperServer 6040 is a high-end, scaleable 4U rackmount server plat- form designed with today's most state-of-the-art features. The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC860 chassis. System Power A dual redundant power supply system consisting of two 300W units to provide 300W of continuous power with 300W of backup. (This dual redun- dant power supply system can be upgraded to a triple redundant system.
)If any one of the two power units fail you will be notified by alarm and LED, and the backup unit will automatically activate. These are hot-plug units that can be replaced without powering down the system. SCSI Subsystem The SCSI subsystem supports 4 68-pin SCA Ultra160 SCSI hard drives. (Any standard 1" drives are supported. SCA = Single Connection Attach- ment.) The SCSI drives are connected to a SAF-TE compliant SCA backplane that provides power, bus termination and configuration settings. The SCSI drives are also hot-swap units. A RAID controller card can be used with the SCA backplanes to provide data security. Note:
The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability of the SCSI drives. 1-2
