The 8D rear panel is very similar to this diagram when rack mounted, but a
single power supply.
Power Supplies – One power supply in the TerraBlock 24D and 24EX, chassis
is replaceable while the unit is running. The unit will run as long as at least 2
power supplies are active. The 8D does not have a redundant power supply, and
requires a power supply or chassis replacement through your reseller if failure
occurs.
Fans – The high-speed internal fans maintain an ideal operating temperature
within the enclosure. Fan units can be removed while the TerraBlock is running if
a replacement is necessary. Consult support@facilis.com for fan replacement
procedure.
VGA – The VGA port is available for monitoring the server locally; attaching a
monitor (not supplied) to the server is necessary for software installation and
troubleshooting. A standard 15-pin VGA monitor cable is supported.
Ethernet – The Ethernet ports are supplied for network access to the unit,
communication to the optional Fibre Channel switch, and when used in
conjunction with the Facilis Shared File system, access from Ethernet clients to
the TerraBlock volumes. Direct Ethernet connectivity can be configured using a
single Gigabit Ethernet port on the server. A combination of 2 or more Gigabit
Ethernet ports (additional Ethernet hardware may be added) can be teamed for
additional bandwidth and performance. See Fibre Channel/Ethernet Slots
below.
Keyboard/Mouse – The keyboard/mouse ports are available for direct control of
the server. Standard PS2 or USB keyboard and mouse are supported but not
included.
SAS Controller Slots – The SAS controller cards for the server media hard
drives use slot 1, 3 and 4 on the 24D and 24EX and slot 4 on the 8D (with latest
TerraBlock models). Slots are numbered starting from the right if standing at the
rear of the unit.
Fibre Channel/Ethernet Slots – The number and type of Fibre Channel and
Ethernet host bus adapters (HBA’s) may vary depending on your configuration.
There is a maximum of 4 additional HBA’s that can be added. This can be all Fibre
Channel HBA’s (up to 8 direct connect FC ports), all 10Gbit Ethernet (up to 8
direct connect 10Gbit Ethernet ports) or a combination of both. This may also
include 1G Ethernet hardware. Some HBA’s may need to be removed to free a
slot if the server is fully populated.
PSU Alert Mute Button (24D, 24EX) – The enclosure sounds an alarm beep
whenever it detects a power supply or fan failure. The Mute button stops the
alarm until the next error occurs. Pressing the Mute button only silences the
alarm—it does not correct the condition that caused it.
