Supermicro SuperStorage SSG-947R-E2CJB Disk Array

The Supermicro SuperStorage SSG-947R-E2CJB is a high-density 4U disk array chassis designed for building scalable, reliable and energy-efficient storage environments. It provides flexible drive support and redundant power, making it suitable as a platform for various enterprise storage applications, depending on the installed server and controller configuration.

Key hardware characteristics

• Form factor: 4U rackmount chassis for standard rack infrastructures.
• Drive bays: 24x hot-swap bays for 3.5" drives with optional support for 2.5" media, enabling mixed-capacity and mixed-performance configurations.
• Drive interfaces: Compatibility with SAS3 and SATA3 drives (depending on installed controllers and backplane wiring), allowing a wide choice of HDDs or SSDs.
• Remote management: 1x RJ-45 port dedicated to out-of-band management via IPMI 2.0 for remote monitoring and control.
• Power supply: 2x 1200W redundant power supplies for high availability and continuous operation.
• Energy efficiency: 80 Plus Titanium certification for improved power conversion efficiency and reduced heat output.
• Warranty: 36-month manufacturer warranty.

Operational benefits

• High density storage: 24 hot-swap bays in 4U enable consolidation of large capacities in a single chassis, simplifying cabling and rack planning.
• Serviceability: Hot-swap drive bays and redundant PSUs support non-disruptive replacement, helping to minimize downtime.
• Flexible media choice: Support for 3.5" and optional 2.5" drives allows combining high-capacity HDDs with higher-performance SSDs, depending on the selected configuration.
• Remote administration: IPMI 2.0 out-of-band access facilitates hardware-level monitoring and management without requiring OS availability.
• Energy-optimized design: 80 Plus Titanium power supplies contribute to lower operating costs in continuous 24/7 environments.

Implementation notes

• The final capabilities depend on the installed server components, controllers and drives, which are not specified here.
• Suitable as a foundation for storage solutions where high availability, density and efficient power usage are required, subject to the chosen system configuration.
