Preface 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 flexible to configure and easy to maintain. The FatTwin is available in a variety of configurations, with options for hot-swappable hard drives, fixed hard drives, redundant power supplies, front or rear I/O, PCI and networking options and more. Its high-efficiency, 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 configurations 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.
