1.6 Modular Configuration Solutions

In general, modular configurations are installed in multiple racks. The racks are referred to as

compute building blocks (CBBs), interconnect building blocks (IBBs), utility building blocks

(UBBs), and utility expansion racks (UXRs). The CBB is the rack that contains up to 38 1U nodes,

two network switches, power distribution and cable management systems. The IBB houses the

high-speed interconnects. An IBB supports up to 4 interconnects. A cluster might include more

than one IBB. The UBB is a single rack that contains the following mandatory components:

•

KVM console

•

Control node
