Each Balanced + High CPU multi-system configuration cabinet may include any of the following, depending on the customer's system configuration and cabinet power type:
  • Up to 14 SQL Engine nodes, including HSN.
  • Up to three mixed use arrays
  • Two VMS 3.0 or VMS 4.0 (required)
  • 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)
  • Two 1 GB Ethernet switches
  • Two 10 GB CLAN switches (optional)
Important: Although they are included in some of the Balanced + High CPU multi-system configuration diagrams shown below, Analytics Nodes and Machine Learning Engine are not yet certified for use with the these configurations.

Build Rules

Components must be installed in a certain order, with maximum numbers of each limited by the power type used in the system.

  1. Install RBOD (Controller) and EBOD (IOM) arrays (using DE224C drive enclosure) from the bottom of the cabinet up, in the following order as indicated in the diagrams below:
      Power Type BCD Power Type A
    RBOD in U spaces 2-3 n/a
    EBOD (IOM) in U spaces 4-5 n/a
    RBOD in U spaces 6-7 n/a
    EBOD (IOM) in U spaces 8-9 n/a
    RBOD in U spaces 33-34 n/a
    EBOD (IOM) in U spaces 35-36 n/a
  2. After installing the storage arrays, install nodes (starting with SQL Engine nodes, then PE nodes) from the bottom of the cabinet up, in the following order as indicated in the diagrams below:
      Power Type BCD Power Type A
    Chassis in U space 10 n/a
    Chassis in U spaces 14-19 n/a
    Chassis in U spaces 25-29 n/a
    Chassis in U spaces 30-31 (8+1/4+1 only) n/a
  3. Install TMS, Channel, and SAS Worker nodes, in the following order:
      Power Type BCD Power Type A
    Chassis in U spaces 31-32 n/a
    Chassis in U spaces 39-40 n/a
  4. 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 or VMS 4.0 (R1208WF) U spaces 20 and 23
    KMM (optional) U space 21, if present
    InfiniBand Switch, 36-port EDR, first-tier (optional in expansion cabinets) U spaces 22 and 24
    InfiniBand Switch, 36-port EDR, second-tier (optional in expansion cabinets) U spaces 20 and 21
    10 GB Ethernet Switch (optional)

Example Builds: IntelliFlex 2.1.1 or 2.5 - Balanced + High CPU Multi-System Configurations

IntelliFlex 2.1.1 or 2.5 Balanced + High CPU multi-system configuration build graphics show standard configuration blocks on the left side of the image. Columns on the right show allowed positions for systems using a combination of 1U nodes and 2U node/server chassis, including TMSs, channel servers, and SWS worker nodes.

Placement of chassis must follow the install build rules without exception to adhere to power constraints for the respective power types.
