1.1 Hardware Planning

Table 1-1 describes the hardware planning.
Table 1-1 Hardware planning

No. Component Description

1 Chassis A chassis provides space for installing all the other

components.
2 Fan module The fan modules dissipate heat for the RH2288H V2 and
allow one-fan failures. The fan modules support hot swap. If
one fan module is faulty, the other fan modules run at full
speed to ensure optimal heat dissipation for the RH2288H V2.
3 Front panel for The front panel provides the video graphics array (VGA) port,
input/output (I/O) USB ports, reset button, power button, Unit Identification
and diagnosis Light (UID) button, and indicators for monitoring the
RH2288H V2 status.
4 Trusted Platform The TPM is optional. It is a low cost solution that complies
Module (TPM) with the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) standards. It
protects the system from viruses or unauthorized operations,
enhancing the platform security.
5 Mainboard The mainboard integrates all RH2288H V2 components.
6 Hard disk The backplane supplies power to hard disks and provides data
backplane transmission channels.
7 Hard disk The RH2288H V2 supports a maximum of eight 2.5-inch
hot-swappable solid-state drives (SSDs), or Serial Attached
SCSI (SAS) or Serial Advanced Technology Attachment
(SATA) hard disks for storing data. SCSI refers to Small
Computer System Interface.
8 RAID controller A RAID controller card and battery backup unit (BBU) are
card tray installed on the tray to facilitate cable routing and parts
replacement.

or 1866 MHz
The RH2288H V2 supports DIMMs at 1.5 times the usual
height.
The RH2288H V2 supports non-volatile dual in-line memory
modules (NVDIMMs).
10 Power supply The backplane connects power supply units (PSUs) to the
backplane mainboard to supply power.
11 Gigabit Ethernet The GE card provides four GE ports for networking.
(GE) card
12 Rear I/O module The I/O module provides the RJ45 RS232 serial port, RJ45
baseboard management controller (BMC) network port, DB15
VGA port, and USB ports.
13 Rear I/O module The tray is used to secure the I/O module as well as the
tray QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) cables or hard disks as required.
14 PSU The two AC PSUs are in 1+1 redundancy mode, and convert
AC power into DC power for the RH2288H V2.
15 Processor The RH2288H V2 supports two Intel Xeon E5-2600
processors, which integrate memory controllers and PCIe
controllers and provide strong data processing capability.
16 Processor heat It cools a processor and is designed with fool-proofing.
sink
17 Rear I/O frame The I/O frame is used to secure the input/output hub (IOH)
frame, IOH, and PCIe cards.
18 IOH frame The IOH frame is used to secure the IOH and PCIe cards.
19 IOH The IOH is a board that provides a port for a PCIe card.
20 PCIe card The RH2288H V2 provides three PCIe 2.0 x8 and two PCIe
2.0 x 16 slots for installing the following:
One full-height, full-length PCIe card
One full-height three fourths-length PCIe card
One full-height, half-length PCIe card
Three half-height standard PCIe cards
One non-standard PCIe slot for installing a RAID controller

2 Configuring the BIOS

This chapter describes how to configure the basic input/output system (BIOS) parameters of
the server to meet performance requirements for SAP HANA operation.

2.1 Preparations
Step 1 Log in to the iMana web user interface (WebUI).
Connect a network cable to the management network port on the server. Check that IP
addresses of the management network ports on the server and PC are in the same network
segment. Open Internet Explorer, enter the iMana IP address (default: 192.168.2.100) in the
address box.

NOTE
Configure an IP address of the network port on the PC with the same network segment, subnet mask,
and gateway as those of the IP address of the iMana's network port.

Step 2 On the iMana login page, enter the default user name (root) and password (Huawei12#$).

Type in English. Otherwise, character "$" may change to "" in Chinese or other characters in
other languages.
Step 3 Click Log In, as shown in Figure 2-1.
iMana supports both English and Chinese. You can choose a language as required.

NOTE
This document uses screenshots in English.
