XR8620t:

The 2U R1A Riser connects the riser card power cables to 2U PDB and 4x signal cables to connectors on the system board. This riser has 2 x16 PCIe (Gen5) Single width FH/HL Slot.

Optional Networking

No matter which Node/Sled you choose, the system can be configured with or without a Broadcom 57414 2x 25 GbE SFP28 onboard LOM (LAN on Motherboard). These networking ports are optional. The option "NC" (Network Choice) indicates that the system board does not include the 2x 25 Gbps ports. In this case, you will need to install a PCIe NIC to enable the server to connect to the network.

Image of the Optional LOM ports on the Dell XR8000 Node Server from Dell.
Storage

Both Sleds support the BOSS-N1 M.2 Carrier and the 2U XR8620t also support a NON-RAID M.2 Riser. The BOSS-N1 Riser holds 2 x M.2 2280 and supports RAID 0/1. The XR8620t M.2 NON-RAID Riser can support 2 x M.2 2280 and M.2 22110 drives.

The BOSS-N1 riser sits on the bottom 1U sled while the M.2 NVMe Riser sits on the second level of the 2U Sled. The 2U XR8620t can only support 1 at a time while the XR8610t only supports the BOSS-N1 option.

Rugged Heat Manager subsystem(HM)
What is a Heat Manager subsystem (HM)?
Heater Manager subsystem (HM) will pre-heat the system to above 5C before the system can power on.

With a system like the XR8000 that supports Radio Access Network (RAN), these Telco systems are deployed in remote locations where the systems need to operate in extended (-20C to 39 65C) or extreme (-20C to 55C) temperature ranges. As many of the hardware components (such as iDRAC, 40 CPU, DIMM, SSD, etc.) used in the system cannot operate below 0C, the system needs to be pre-heated to above 5C before the system can power on. The Heater Manager subsystem (HM) will pre-heat the system, and make sure all the heater zones (9 zones total) are above 5C. The HM will heat the system as needed such that the temperature of all zones will be above 5C.

Restrictions
  • Heater Manager subsystem (HM) is only supported in 2U XR8620t.
  • Heater Manager subsystem (HM) heating from -20C to system start booting: 4 minutes
  • The max power draw per 2U HM sled is about 750W during the preheat process

Power Supply Units

The XR8000r Modular Rack Server only supports two 60MM Reverse Airflow (RAF) PSUs. AC and DC options are available. Do not mix PSU. The PSUs with blue straps are designed for reverse airflow (RAF). This chassis has front access to the node servers and the PSUs. This means the Fans are in the rear of the server nodes and they pull air out of the chassis. Normal AirFlow (NAF) Pushes Airflow into the chassis.
