Rack dimensions
42U primary rack/expansion
rack
79.5" H x 25.2" W x 43.3" D (2020 mm x 640 mm x 1100 mm); 574.2 lbs (261 kg)
25U rack 49.0" H x 23.8" W x 39.4" D (1344 mm x 605 mm x 1001 mm); 221 lbs (100.2 kg)
Scalability One management node is required and one redundant management node for failover is optional. A
minimum of two and a maximum of 1,024 managed nodes are supported (optional software may limit
supported nodes). This total can include up to 64 storage nodes. Therefore, the minimum configuration
includes three nodes (one management node and two compute nodes). The maximum configuration is
1,026 nodes including compute, storage and management nodes. Larger configurations are available
through a special bid process.
