Cabinet Conventions for Multiple-Purpose Cabinets - BAR Managed Servers

The Teradata Managed Server cabinet can be configured as a multiple-purpose cabinet that includes any combination of BAR configurations, TMS applications, channel servers and/or ECS servers, NCSs, and Service Workstations (for servicing and maintenance of a Teradata system).

The placement of the hardware components in a multiple-purpose cabinet follows these general cabinet build conventions:

• Each chassis has a standard position in the cabinet, and is numbered from the bottom up, except where noted in the general build sequence below.
• Chassis that are managed over the server management network have assigned chassis ID numbers. The chassis ID number identifies the chassis by position/type in the server management interface.
• Unmanaged chassis are numbered by position for cabling purposes only. The numbers do not appear in the management interface as identification of the chassis.
• Ethernet switches are loaded and accessible only from the rear of the cabinet. All other chassis are loaded from the front of the cabinet, and accessible from both front and rear.

The general build sequence is as follows:

1. If there is a KVM (maximum of 1), install it in U20.
2. If there is a system VMS, install it in U21.
   Only 1 SWS or system VMS can be attached to the KVM. Additional SWSs and system VMSs are accessed through the SWS or VMS attached to the KVM.
3. If there is a Brocade Fibre Channel switch, install it in U37.
4. If there are BYA32S switches (maximum of 2), install it in U25-29.
5. If there are Mellanox 36-port BYNET V5/InfiniBand switches (maximum of 2), install them in U8, U12, U16, and U37.
6. If SKM/OKM encryption servers are included, install them bottom-up in U5, U9, U13, U17, U21, U25, U29, and U31.
7. If Oracle SL500 base chassis are included, install them top-down in U29-36, U21-28, U13-20, U5-12, or U25-32, U17-24, and U9-16.
8. If Oracle SL500 expansion chassis are included, install them top-down in U29-36, U21-28, U13-20, U5-12, or U25-32, U17-24, and U9-16.
   The Oracle SL500 has a mechanical arm that moves up and down. Therefore, the base and expansion units must always be adjacent to each other.
9. If a Quantum i500 base chassis is included, install it in U30-34.
10. If Quantum i500 expansion chassis are included, install them top-down in U21-29 and U12-20.
    The Quantum i500 has a mechanical arm that moves up and down. Therefore, the base and expansion units must always be adjacent to each other.
11. If Quantum i80 chassis are included, install them bottom-up in U5-10, U13-18, U21-26, U29-34, or U9-14, U17-22, and U25-30.
12. If Data Domain 890 and ES30 chassis are included, install them bottom-up:
    • DD890: U5-6, U9-10, U13-14, U17-18, U21-22, U25-26, U29-30, U31-32
    • ES30: U5-7, U9-11, U13-15, U17-19, U21-23, U25-27, U29-31

    Exception: If there is one DD890 with six ES30s, install the DD890 in U29-30 and all ES30s top-down in U5-7, U9-11, U13-15, U17-19, U21-23, and U25-27.

13. If Data Domain 4200 and ES30 chassis are included, install them bottom-up:
    • DD4200: U5-8, U9-12, U13-16, U17-20, U21-24, U25-28, U29-32
    • ES30: U5-7, U9-11, U13-15, U17-19, U21-23, U25-27, U29-31
14. If Data Domain 7200 and ES30 chassis are included, install them bottom-up:
    • DD7200: U5-8, U9-12, U13-16, U17-20, U21-24, U25-28, U29-32
    • ES30: U5-7, U9-11, U13-15, U17-19, U21-23, U25-27, U29-31
15. If there is a BAR admin switch (maximum of 1), install it in U4.
16. If there is a BAR admin server (maximum of 1), install it in U5-6.
17. If there are BAR data servers (maximum of 6), install them in U5-6, U9-10, U13-14, U17-18, U21-22, U25-26, and U29-30.
18. If there are BAR data servers, install the associated BAR data switches in the following order:
    1. 10 Gb BAR data switches (maximum of 3): U8, U12, U16
    2. 1 Gb BAR data switches (maximum of 6): U8, U12, U16, U20, U24, U28
    3. Fibre Channel switch (maximum of 1): U37
19. Install remaining servers in the following order:
    The maximum server configuration without Dell R720xd servers is 8 Dell R710, Dell R720, and/or Intel R2208 servers (including the BAR servers above). The maximum server configuration with Dell R720xd servers is up to 4 Dell R720xd or Dell R720 servers and up to 4 Intel SR2500, Intel SR2600, Intel SR1625, Intel R1208, Dell R710, Intel R2208, or Dell T610 servers.
