Benefits

• Quiet operation for low noise office environments
• Low power consumption - Green Computing
• Low TCO - lower than rackmount server systems
• Industry-leading performance/watt
• Industry-leading price/performance

The innovative NSB7UIA-10  offers enhanced system computing density, and unmatched flexibility. Applying Newtech's application-optimized engineering philosophy, each NSB7UIA-10  blade module delivers true server functionality including up to four processors (in select models), optional InfiniBand mezzanine HCA, and supports either SATA or SAS hard drives.

To protect customer's investment, each blade module is fully upgradeable for future CPUs. The common system architecture ensures each blade is fully inter-changeable as well.

NSB7UIA-10  Server Blades Detailed Info

NSB7UIA-10  networking options include two different modules for Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. In addition Newtech offers a powerful InfiniBand switch for connecting the blades to 4X DDR (20 Gbps) InfiniBand networks. All NSB7UIA-10  networking options are hot-pluggable. The Ethernet modules can also be configured for redundant or dual load-sharing connections (or both).

Gigabit Ethernet Modules

Switches
The Gigabit Ethernet switch module (part ID SBM-GEM-001) includes ten external 1-Gb/s uplink (RJ45) ports and fourteen internal 1-Gb/s downlink ports for connection to the NSB7UIA-10's LAN interfaces. This layer 2 Ethernet switching module also has two internal Ethernet paths to the CMM(s) to allow configuration, management, and control of the switch and its ports through a browser-based management interface. Offering such advanced features as link aggregation (static), VLAN support, and Jumbo Frame support, the switch provides a connection between the Ethernet controller integrated on the mainboard and external Ethernet systems.

SBM-GEM-001 Switch

Pass-Through
The Gigabit Ethernet Pass-through Module (part ID SBM-GEM-002) is a non-configurable pass through module that includes fourteen 1-Gb/s external uplink (RJ45) ports and fourteen internal 1-Gb/s downlink ports for the SuperBlade®'s LAN interfaces. This module also has two internal Ethernet paths to the CMM(s) for viewing module temperature and voltage (but not for configuration since all connections are fixed).

SBM-GEM-002

Infiniband Modules

InfiniBand Switch Module
The InfiniBand Switch Module (part ID SBM-IBS-001) is a switch-based, point-to-point bi-directional serial link system. It provides high-speed interconnectivity among the blade modules and to external InfiiniBand peripherals. The InfiniBand switch supports 4X DDR connections (20 gigabits per second) the fastest currently offered in the industry.

InfiniBand Mezanine HCA Cards
For any blade to access the InfiniBand module, it must have an InfiniBand mezzanine HCA card installed on its mainboard. The AOC-IBH-001, AOC-IBH-002 and AOC-IBH-003 mezzanine cards provide this 20Gbps connectivity (4x DDR) through the backplane to the InfiniBand switch module.
