Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25/MFSYS35 TPS

System Overview

2.4.2

Storage Interposer Board

The interposer board mounts vertically in the front left of the system and connects the midplane

to the hot-swap backplane in the storage enclosure. Each compute module connects to the

storage controller with a non-RAID SAS controller, with the storage controller providing the RAID

functionality.

2.5 Mounting and Service Features

2.5.1

Chassis

The platform utilizes a standard 19-inch EIA chassis, 6U high by 28 inches deep. The chassis

can be rack-mounted or used as a pedestal system. Rack mounting the platform requires a

space of 6U high by 19 inches wide by 34 inches deep, with additional six inches required for

cable management. When used in a rack, the chassis may be mounted with an optional rail kit.

Pedestal operation requires the installation of six rubber feet to the bottom of the chassis.

The 6U height is defined by standard EIA rack units, where 1U equals 1.75 inches. The 28-inch

depth is measured from the front mounting flange to the back of the I/O slots. This

measurement does not include cables or the bezel.

2.5.2

Rails

The platform accommodates rails to mount the chassis into a standard 19-inch rack. The Intel

Modular Server System MFSYS25/MFSYS35

uses fixed rails. All customer-accessible

components provide either front or rear access. The rails attach to the rack using a tool-less

mechanism. The system rests on the shelves of the rails and attaches to the rack using the

integrated thumbscrews on the front flanges of the system. No loose hardware is needed.

2.6

Server Management

The management of all components in the system can be done through the chassis

management module. This module provides a browser-based management interface that allows

the configuration and management of all modules. As part of the compute module

manageability, the chassis management module provides remote access (such as connectivity

via Ethernet) to Keyboard-VDU-Mouse (KVM), USB media and serial console.

The management subsystem conforms to the IPMI v2.0 Specification for communication within

the chassis (such as between the chassis management module and other system components).

SNMP is supported by the chassis management module for external system management.
