Product Features
Technical Overview
This MicroCloud system leverages a modular architecture where each of the twelve nodes operates independently with dedicated compute, memory, and storage resources. The LGA-1155 socket accommodates 64-bit Intel processors, enabling support for Xeon E3-series CPUs for enhanced performance and remote management capabilities in enterprise settings. Memory configuration is handled through four DDR3-1600/PC3-12800 DIMM slots per node, scaling up to 32GB per node for substantial application memory headroom.
Storage connectivity is provided via a Serial ATA/600 controller with four SATA interfaces per node, ensuring fast data transfer rates for SSD or HDD deployments. Integrated graphics with 16MB of DDR2 memory support basic display output for setup and management tasks. The system's dual 1600W power supplies operate in a redundant configuration, accepting 110-220V AC input for flexible power compatibility across regions.

FAQ
What processors are compatible with this barebone system?
The system supports a wide range of Intel processors using the LGA-1155 socket, including Xeon E3-series, Core i3, and Pentium CPUs. This flexibility allows you to choose processors based on performance needs and budget, from entry-level Pentium chips for light workloads to Xeon processors with advanced features like ECC memory support and remote management for enterprise environments.
How much memory can each node support?
Each of the twelve nodes supports a maximum of 32GB of DDR3 SDRAM across four memory slots. The memory standard is DDR3-1600/PC3-12800, providing efficient data throughput for applications. This configuration allows substantial memory allocation per node, suitable for virtualization hosts, database servers, or other memory-intensive workloads within the cluster.
What type of storage connectivity is provided?
Each node includes a Serial ATA/600 (SATA 6Gb/s) controller with four SATA interfaces. This interface delivers fast data transfer rates for solid-state drives or high-capacity hard drives. The system ships with multiple SATA cables in various lengths (55cm and 70cm) to accommodate different drive bay locations within the chassis.
Does the system include power supplies?
Yes, the system comes with two 1600W power supply modules installed. These power supplies are redundant and hot-swappable, meaning if one unit fails, the other can continue to power the entire chassis without interruption. They accept a wide input voltage range of 110-220V AC, making them compatible with standard power infrastructures in North America and other regions.
What is included in the package for network connectivity?
Each node features integrated Gigabit Ethernet via an RJ-45 port on the motherboard. This provides high-speed network access for data transfer, backups, and cluster communication. The system does not include network cables, so you will need to provide standard Ethernet cables to connect each node to your network switch.
What are the physical dimensions and rack requirements?
The chassis is a standard 3U rackmount unit, measuring 5.21 inches in height, 17.50 inches in width (standard 19-inch rack width), and 29.50 inches in depth. It weighs approximately 95 pounds when fully configured. You will need a server rack with sufficient depth to accommodate the chassis and adequate airflow for cooling the twelve high-density nodes.
