E9000 Blade Server Hardware Structure

The E9000 is model of chassis product that Huawei developed. It can house the E9000 series compute nodes, storage nodes, and resource expansion nodes in its 12 U chassis. The E9000 has the following features and functions.

• Supports 8 full-width compute nodes or 16 half-width compute nodes for flexible slot configuration.

• Supports a compute node with 2 CPUs and 24 DIMMs or 2 x (2 CPUs + 8 DIMMs) in a half-width slot.

• Supports a compute node with 4 CPUs and 48 DIMMs in a full-width slot.

• Supports the computing density of 64 CPUs/1408 cores per chassis.

• Supports a maximum memory capacity of 24 TB per chassis.

• Supports the maximum switching capability (throughput) of 32 Tbit/s for midplane.

• Provides 4 switch modules (2 pairs), supporting Ethernet, fiber channel (FC), fiber channel over Ethernet (FCoE), InfiniBand switching and I/O ports.

 NOTE:

The E9000A chassis does not support IB switch modules: CX610, CX611 and CX620.

• Each chassis is configured with two management modules in active/standby mode. They support active/standby switchover, hot swap, and the protocols of Intelligent Platform Management Interface 2.0 (IPMI 2.0), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v3, SNMP Trap v1, SNMP Trap v2c, SNMP Trap v3, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Secure Shell (SSH), Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS), Network Time Protocol (NTP), Domain Name Service (DNS), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).

• A display is installed in the front lower part of the chassis. The display is used to set the basic chassis information and monitor the status of the chassis and components in the chassis.

Table 1 E9000 chassis components

No.	Component	Description
1	Chassis	The chassis is 12 U high and provides 8 full-width or 16 half-width compute node slots at the front, and 2 management module slots, 6 PSU slots, 14 fan module  slots, and 4 switch or pass-through module slots at the rear.
2	Compute nodes	A variety of half-width and full-width compute nodes are supported and can be flexibly selected based on service needs.
3	Fan modules	14 hot-swappable fan modules are supported and divided into three zones.
4	Pass through or switch modules	Four pass-through or switch modules can be configured to provide external ports.
5	Management modules	Two management modules can be configured to manage all hardware devices in the chassis, with support for active/standby switchovers and hot-swap.
6	PSUs	Six hot-swappable PSUs are in N+1 or N+N redundancy mode.

1E, 2X, 3X, and 4E	Slots for installing switch modules and pass through modules. It is recommended that pass through modules be installed in slots 1E and 4E to facilitate cable routing.	MM1 and MM2	Slots for installing management  modules.
PSU 1 to PSU 6	Slots for installing PSUs.	(1) to (14)	Slots for installing fan modules.
ESD jack	A socket for inserting the ESD  wrist strap.	PGND	Ground terminal.
