system. With four system boards incorporated into a single chassis acting as four separate
nodes, there are several points you should keep in mind.
Nodes
Each of the four serverboards act as a separate node in the system. As independent nodes,
each may be powered off and on without affecting the others. In addition, each node is a
hot-swappable unit that may be removed from the chassis. The nodes are connected to the
server backplane by means of an adapter card.
Note: A guide pin is located between the upper and lower nodes on the inner chassis wall.
This guide pin also acts as a “stop” when a node is fully installed. If too much force is used
when inserting a node this pin may break off. Take care to slowly slide a node in until you
hear the “click” of the locking tab seating itself.
System Power
Four 1200 Watt power supplies are used to provide the power for all serverboards. Each
serverboard however, can be shut down independently of the others with the power button
on its own control panel.
SAS/SATA/NVMe Backplane/Drives
As a system, the FatTwin F629P3-RTB/RTBN/RC0B/RC1B supports the use of eight (8) SAS/
SATA, or six (6) SAS/SATA drives and two (2) NVMe 3.5" drives in front-mounted hot-swap
drive trays per node, for a total of thirty-two (32) HDD drives in the system. Each of the eight
backplanes works to apply system-based control for power and fan speed functions, yet at
the same time logically connects a set of eight (8) SAS/SATA, or six (6) SAS/SATA drives
and two (2) 3.5" NVMe drives to each backplane/serverboard. Consequently, RAID setup is
limited to an eight-drive scheme (RAID cannot be spread across all drives). See Chapter 6

Control Panel Features
Item Feature Description
1Power Button
The main power button on each of the eight control panels is used to apply
or remove power from the power supply to each of the eight systems in the
chassis. Turning off system power with this button removes the main power,
but keeps standby power supplied to the system. Therefore, you must unplug
system before servicing. The power button has a built-in LED which will turn
green when the power is on.

4UID LED
When used with a UID compatible serverboard, the UID indicator is used to
turn on or off the blue light function of the LED. This is built into the front side
of the UID button and at the rear end of each serverboard node, for those
motherboards which support it. Once the blue light is activated, the unit can be
easily located in very large racks and server banks.

Server Installation
2.1 Overview
This chapter provides advice and instructions for mounting your system in a server rack.
If your system is not already fully integrated with processors, system memory etc., refer to

Caution: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent such
damage to PCBs (printed circuit boards), it is important to use a grounded wrist strap, handle
all PCBs by their edges and keep them in anti-static bags when not in use.
2.2 Preparing for Setup
The box in which the system was shipped should include the rackmount hardware needed to
install it into the rack. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation.
Choosing a Setup Location
•
The system should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas

the full weight of the rack rests on them.
• In single rack installations, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple rack in-
stallations, the racks should be coupled together.
• Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a server or other component from
the rack.
• You should extend only one server or component at a time - extending two or more simul-
taneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Server Precautions
• Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Appendix B.
• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.

• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from power
surges and voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
• Allow any drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them.
• When not servicing, always keep the front door of the rack and all covers/panels on the
servers closed to maintain proper cooling.
Rack Mounting Considerations
Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of
the rack environment may be greater than the room's ambient temperature. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with
the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (TMRA).

Mechanical Loading
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise due
to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power supply circuitry
and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection
and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should
be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Ground
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself should be
grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the
direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power strips, etc.).
