White Paper (Model 2180) Contents

1 Overview

The TaiShan 200 server powered by Huawei Kunpeng 920 processors is dedicated

for data centers. Its 2180 balanced model (2180 for short) is a 2U single-socket

rack server. It features high-performance computing, large-capacity storage, low

power consumption, easy management, and easy deployment and is ideal for

Internet, distributed storage, cloud computing, Big Data, and enterprise services.

Figure 1-1 shows the appearance of the 2180.

TaiShan 200 Server

White Paper (Model 2180) 1 Overview

2 Features

Performance and Scalability

The 2180 provides the following features to enhance performance and scalability:

● Uses one HiSilicon server-oriented 64-bit high-performance multicore

Kunpeng 920 CPU, which integrates DDR4, PCIe 4.0, 25GE, 10GE, and GE ports

and provide the system-on-chip (SOC) function.

● A maximum of one CPU and 64 cores, which maximizes the concurrent

execution of multithreaded applications.

● A maximum of sixteen DDR4 ECC RDIMMs. The server provides a maximum

of 2048 GB memory capacity.

The memory speed of 1DPC is 2933 MHz, and the memory speed of 2DPC memory is

2666 MHz.

● Flexible drive congurations cater to a variety of business requirements and

ensure high elasticity and scalability of storage resources.

● FlexIOs provide multiple Ethernet ports.

● A maximum of three PCIe 4.0 x8 slots.

Availability and Serviceability

The 2180 provides the following features to improve availability and serviceability:

● The 2180 uses carrier-class components and follows the engineering process

to dramatically improve system reliability.

● The 2180 is equipped with SAS/SATA drives. SAS/SATA drives support RAID 0,

1, 10, 5, 50, 6, and 60, provides RAID cache, uses a supercapacitor for power-

o data protection, and allows hot swap of data drives.

● The UID and HLY indicators on the panel and iBMC WebUI help technical

support personnel promptly obtain the status of key components and locate

failed or failing components. This simplies maintenance, accelerates

troubleshooting, and improves system availability.

● The Huawei intelligent baseboard management controller (iBMC) monitors

system parameters in real time, triggers alarms, and performs recovery

actions in case of failures. This helps minimize system downtime.

Manageability and Security

The 2180 provides the following features to ensure manageability and security:

● The iBMC monitors server operating status and provides remote

management.

● The integrated industry-standard Unied Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)

increases eciency of setup, conguration, and update, and simplies fault

handling.

● The front bezel in the server chassis is locked to ensure local data security and

reliability.

Energy Eciency

The 2180 provides the following features to improve energy eciency:

● The 2180 supports Platinum power supply units (PSUs), which provide 94%

power eciency at 50% load.

● The voltage regulator-down (VRD) PSUs reduce the energy loss in DC/DC

power conversion.

● The server supports active/standby power supplies.

● The 2180 supports Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) intelligent fan speed

adjustment, reducing power consumption.

● The improved thermal design with energy-ecient fan modules ensures

optimal heat dissipation and reduces overall system power consumption.

● Drives can be powered on at dierent times to reduce startup power

consumption.

● The 2180 supports SSDs. SSDs consume 80% less power than HDDs.

3 Logical Structure

Figure 3-1 shows the logical structure of the 2180.

Figure 3-1 2180 logical structure

● The 2180 uses one Huawei-developed Kunpeng 920 processor, each

supporting 16 DDR4 DIMMs.

● The Ethernet FlexIO can only be cards with four GE ports, and are connected

to CPU through high-speed SerDes interfaces.

● The screw-in RAID controller card connects to the CPU through PCIe buses,

and to the drive backplanes through SAS signal cables.

● The iBMC is based on the Huawei Hi1710 management chip and provides a

VGA port, management network port, and debugging serial port.

Table 4-1 Description of ports on the front panel

Port Type Description

USB port USB 3.0 The USB ports allow USB devices to be

connected to the server.

NOTE

Before connecting an external USB device, check

that the USB device functions properly. A server

may operate abnormally if an abnormal USB

device is connected.

VGA port DB15 The VGA port is connected to a terminal,

such as a monitor or physical KVM.

NOTE

The VGA port on the front panel does not have

cable screws. The VGA cable is easy to fall o.

You are advised to use the VGA port on the rear

panel.

The serial number (SN) on the label is a string that uniquely identies a server.

The SN is required when you contact Huawei technical support.

Figure 4-2 shows the SN format.
