Expansions using Intel R1208WF nodes in addition to Dell R630 nodes require different configurations than systems using only Dell R630 nodes.
- Analytics Database nodes:
- Up to seven Analytics Database nodes for Power A
- Up to 15 Analytics Database nodes for Power BCD
- Up to seven SSD arrays for Power A; up to 12 SSD arrays for Power BCD
- PE nodes:
- Up to 10 PE nodes for Power A, when adding Intel nodes
- Up to 17 PE nodes for Power BCD, when adding Intel nodes
- VMSs
- VMS 3.0 (R1208WF): Both of type VMS (no specific designation). Two are required.
- VMS 2.0 (R1208WT): System VMS and Cabinet VMS. A System VMS is required. A Cabinet VMS is added for redundancy.
- One rackmount KMM
- Two 36-port EDR first-tier InfiniBand switches (optional in expansion cabinets)
- Two 36-port EDR second-tier InfiniBand switches (optional in expansion cabinets)
- Up to 12 TMS, channel server, SWS, or SAS worker nodes

Build Rules
Components must be installed in a certain order, with maximum numbers of each limited by the power type used in the system.
- Install SSD arrays from the bottom of the cabinet up, in the following order:
Chassis in U spaces 2-7 All Power Types Chassis in U spaces 8-9 Power Types BCD Chassis in U spaces 35-42 All Power Types Chassis in U spaces 10-13 Power Types BCD Chassis in U spaces 31-34 Power Types BCD If you are updating an existing system, you may need to move a node or TMS to place the new storage array in the correct position.
- Install Analytics Database nodes from the bottom of the cabinet up, after installing the storage arrays, in the following order:
Chassis in U spaces 14-17 All Power Types Chassis in U spaces 18-19 Power Types BCD Chassis in U spaces 25-27 All Power Types Chassis in U spaces 28-30 Power Types BCD Chassis in U space 10 Power Types BCD Chassis in U space 12 Power Types BCD Chassis in U space 31 Power Types BCD If you are updating an existing installation, you may need to move a PE node or TMS to place the new Analytics Database node in the correct position.
- Install PE nodes from the bottom of the cabinet up, after installing the storage arrays and Analytics Database nodes, in the following order:
Chassis in U space 2 All Power Types Chassis in U space 10 Power Types BCD Chassis in U space 12 Power Types BCD Chassis in U spaces 14-17 All Power Types Chassis in U spaces 18-19 Power Types BCD Chassis in U spaces 25-27 All Power Types Chassis in U spaces 28-31 Power Types BCD Chassis in U space 35 All Power Types Chassis in U space 37 Power Type A If you are updating an existing installation, you may need to move a TMS to place the new PE node in the correct position.
- Install TMSs, SWS, SAS worker nodes, or channel servers from the bottom of the cabinet up, after installing the storage arrays and all nodes, in the following order:
- Consolidated TMS
Install in ascending order, by feature number
- Standard TMS
Install in ascending order, by feature number
- SWS
- SAS worker node
- Channel server
Chassis in U spaces 2-3 All Power Types Chassis in U space 10-13 The bottom of the chassis must be in the even U position
Power Types BCD Chassis in U space 14-17 The bottom of the chassis must be in the even U position
All Power Types Chassis in U space 18-19 Power Types BCD Chassis in U space 25-28 The bottom of the chassis must be in the odd U position
All Power Types Chassis in U space 29-34 The bottom of the chassis must be in the odd U position
Power Types BCD Chassis in U space 35-36 All Power Types Chassis in U space 37-38 Power Type A
If you are updating an existing installation, reinstall any TMSs that were removed so that all components are located in the correct positions.
- Consolidated TMS
- Install all remaining components from the bottom of the cabinet up, for all power types, in the following order:
Primary Server Management Switch, 48 Port 1 GbE U space 1, fixed VMS 3.0 (R1208WF), or VMS 2.0 System VMS (R1208WT) U space 20, if present VMS 3.0 (R1208WF), or VMS 2.0 Cabinet VMS (R1208WT) (optional) U space 23, if present Rackmount KMM (optional) U space 21, if present InfiniBand Switch, 36-port EDR, first-tier (optional in expansion cabinets) U spaces 22 and 24, if present InfiniBand Switch, 36-port EDR, second-tier (optional in expansion cabinets) U spaces 20 and 21, if present Secondary Server Management Switch, 48 Port 1 GbE Attic space, fixed
Example Builds: IntelliFlex 2.0 Using Dell and Intel Nodes
Placement of chassis must follow the install build rules without exception to adhere to power constraints for the respective power types.
