SuperBlade® offers many unique advantages that differentiate it from other blade products and other rack-mount solutions.
Benefits include maximum affordability, reduced management costs, lower power consumption, optimal ROI, and high scalability – and in most applications,
blade servers can reduce acquisition costs. While current tier-one blade suppliers only offer general-purpose blade servers, the SuperBlade® technology is
fully optimized for a wide array of mission-critical and compute-intensive applications.
A SuperBlade server can save more than 100 watts over a traditional discrete 1U rack-mount server. These savings add up quickly when your SuperBlade chassis
is fully populated with 10 servers. By eliminating the overhead in 1U discrete servers and using the high efficiency (up to 93%) power supplies,
SuperBlade can save you hundreds of pounds per year in power charges and even more when you add the reduced cooling costs.
At the same time, reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

Housed within a 19" industry-standard rack, SuperBlade® servers reduce server footprint in the data center.
Power, cooling and networking devices are aggregated in the rear of the chassis which optimizes the required amount of space.
Up to 14 blade servers can be installed in a 7U chassis. Compared to the 14U of rack space that 14 1U servers would normally
require as individual servers, the SuperBlade provides density savings with 84 servers in a 42U rack.
The SuperBlade® server chassis enclosure greatly simplifies the cabling process by aggregating cabling of 14 servers at once.
Up to 90% of network, power, and KVM cabling required for ten 1U servers are reduced by moving to blade servers in a single chassis.
These cabling reductions continue across networking, SAN connectivity, and management controllers.
Reducing the number of cables speeds up the deployment of servers and helps reduce troubleshooting issues by presenting fewer physical
connections to the servers.

One of the biggest benefits of moving to a blade environment is the relocation of power supplies and fans into a single chassis versus an individual
set in each server. This greatly helps reduce the power requirements on a per server basis.
Underlining Supermicro's high-efficiency power philosophy into the SuperBlade® server technology, Supermicro engineers have mastered the power
supply design challenge to produce high-quality, high-performance solutions with peak efficiency ratings of 90% or higher.
Supermicro solutions continue to outperform and outlast the competition and providing the best technology investment available to customers.

1 included with 7U chassis enclosure
The SuperBlade® chassis management module (CMM-001) provides total remote control of individual server blades, power supplies, cooling fans, and
networking switches remotely.
System administrators enjoy the management ease and reassurance of continuous onboard instrumentation monitoring
(temperature sensors, power status, voltages and fan speed). Remote power control capabilities to reboot and/or
reset the server are available as well as remote access to the BIOS configuration and operating system console information vial SOL
(Serial over LAN) or embedded KVM capabilities. Because the controller is a separate processor, all monitoring and control
functions operate flawlessly regardless of CPU operation or system power-on status.

For any blade to access the InfiniBand module, it must have an InfiniBand mezzanine HCA card installed The AOC-IBH-002,
AOC-IBH-XDD and AOC-IBH-XDS mezzanine cards provide this 20-Gbps connectivity (4x DDR) through the backplane to the
InfiniBand switch module. The AOC-IBH-XQS mezzanine card provides this connectivity at the QDR (40Gbps) rate.
The AOC-IBH-XDS, AOC-IBH-XDD, and AOC-IBH-XDS can alternatively be used for 10-Gbps Ethernet connectivity when
used in concert with the SBM-XEM-002 10-Gbps Pass-through module.
