Cable Modes	Teradata systems are shipped with multi-mode fiber (MMF) connections for the 10Gb Ethernet optical interface into all servers. Single-mode fiber (SMF) connections are not supported.
InfiniBand Interconnect	All SAS 750 Appliance configurations use redundant 36-port InfiniBand switches to enable node to node communication. For BYNET V4 and BYNET-Over-Ethernet configurations that use Teradata Connect nodes, the InfiniBand switches also connect to the Teradata Connect nodes. For two-cabinet systems (up to 33 nodes for UDA/InfiniBand systems, up to 36 nodes for BYNET V4 and BYNET-Over-Ethernet configurations) the 36-port InfiniBand switches are located in the base cabinet. For three-cabinet systems (up to 54 nodes for UDA/InfiniBand systems, up to 60 nodes for BYNET V4 and BYNET-Over-Ethernet configurations) pairs of 36-port InfiniBand switches are located in the base cabinet and one of the expansion cabinets, and an additional pair of second-tier switches is located in the other expansion cabinet. For larger systems (up to 126 nodes for UDA/InfiniBand systems, up to 180 nodes for BYNET V4 and BYNET-Over-Ethernet configurations) pairs of 36-port InfiniBand switches are located in base and expansion cabinets, and additional pairs of second-tier switches are located in the other expansion cabinets. UDA/InfiniBand systems can expand to 7 cabinets, and BYNET V4 and BYNET-Over-Ethernet systems can expand to 9 cabinets. For UDA systems with more than 126 nodes, and for non-UDA InfiniBand systems with more than 180 nodes, the switches in the SAS Appliance cabinet connect to larger second-tier switches located in the BYNET cabinet.
Virtualized Management Server (VMS)	A virtualized management server (VMS) resides in each appliance cabinet. A VMS is an Intel R1208 or R1208WT chassis and can host the following virtual machines (VMs): CMIC -- The CMIC provides server management services for the system cabinets. A CMIC running in a virtual machine on the VMS can manage up to 50 nodes. Each system requires a VMS for every two cabinets, and a minimum of two for redundancy when there are two or more cabinets. SWS -- The SWS is the service entry for the system. Viewpoint -- The Viewpoint VM manages only a single Teradata system. An Intel R1208 or R1208WT VMS is available in System VMS and Cabinet VMS configurations. Each System VMS consists of: CMIC, SWS, and Viewpoint VMs. A Viewpoint VM supports up to a maximum of 128 nodes and servers. Two 2.0 GHz six-core 15MB L3 cache E5-2620 processors 64 GB memory using 8 GB DIMMs Two 600 GB RAID 1 drives for boot/system operations Two 600 GB RAID 1 drives for Viewpoint data storage Onboard connectivity to server management network Onboard or adapter connectivity to customer network OS: Linux SLES 11 OS on VMS and CMIC VM Linux SLES 10 SP3 OS on SWS and Viewpoint VMs Each Cabinet VMS consists of: CMIC VM One 2.0 GHz six-core 15MB L3 cache E5-2620 processor, dual socket 32 GB memory using 8 GB DIMMs Two 600 GB RAID 1 drives for boot/system operations Onboard connectivity to server management network Onboard or adapter connectivity to customer network Linux SLES 11 OS on VMS and CMIC VM
Server Management Web (SMWeb) Services	Server management functions run on the CMIC VM (on a VMS). The CMIC hosts the SMWeb Services Home page and provides applications and services for server management on an MPP system: Server Management Client: Monitor status, display events, and perform commands from a single operational view of the system. Command Line Interface: Download remote command line interface utilities Save and Restore: Download, upload, and view configuration files Users and Groups: Manage user and group security levels Network, Devices, and CMICs: Configure the server management network and device management TVI Connection: Configure settings for TVI data communications to Teradata via the Service Workstation For use by customer on-site staff members, Teradata Services Analysts in the Global Support Center (GSC), and Teradata Customer Service Representatives. SMWeb 10.04 and Teradata ServiceConnect are required for the appliance. For information about using SMWeb Services, see the Teradata Server Management Web Services User Guide, B035-5350, or the online help on the SMWeb Services home page.
KVM Console	The KVM console can reside in an appliance base or expansion cabinet, or in the optional InfiniBand switch cabinet. The KVM should be located in the same cabinet as and be connected to the System VMS or rack-mounted SWS workstation.
Cable Management	Appliance cabinets have cable harnesses for server management. InfiniBand cabinets do not have cable harnesses. Openings in cabinet sides near the rear of the rack accommodate inter-rack cabling.

Available AC feeder box types: Type A power: AC feeder box with a plug rated at 30A for North America and rated at 32A for Europe. The plug is used for both single-phase (220-240V line-to-neutral) or phase-to-phase (208V) connections. Each cabinet has four AC feeder boxes; each AC feeder box has one power cord for a total of four power cords per cabinet. This power type does not support all possible cabinet configurations. Type B power: Three-phase Delta AC feeder box with a plug rated at 30A. Each cabinet has four AC feeder boxes; each AC feeder box has one power cord for a total of four power cords per cabinet. Type C power: Three-phase Delta AC feeder box with a plug rated at 60A. Each cabinet has two AC feeder boxes; each AC feeder box has one power cord for a total of two power cords per cabinet. Type D power: Three-phase Wye 230V L-N AC feeder box with a plug rated at 30A for North America or 32A for Europe. Each cabinet has two AC feeder boxes; each AC feeder box has one power cord for a total of two power cords per cabinet. Infiniband cabinet: Two AC boxes of the same type per cabinet. For cabinets with the 108-port switch, the AC box type is a single-cord AC box with a plug rated at 30A for North America and rated at 32A for Europe. The plug is used for both single-phase (220-240V line-to-neutral) or phase-to-phase (208V) connections. Each cabinet has two AC boxes; each AC box has one power cord for a total of two power cords per cabinet.
