(Optional) Quorum Server (TaiShan 200)
This section describes the 2280 balanced model (2280 for short) of the TaiShan 200 server. For HyperMetro, if the heartbeats between two storage arrays are interrupted, the quorum server decides which storage array continues providing services, thereby greatly improving host service continuity.

RJ45 |
1 |
This 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet port is used for server management. |
Serial port |
RJ45 |
1 |
The serial port is used as the system serial port by default. You can set it as the iBMC serial port by using the iBMC CLI. This port is used for debugging. |
GE electrical port |
RJ45 |
4/8 |
The mainboard CPU can provide GE electrical ports. A maximum of eight GE electrical ports can be provided through the two FlexIOs. |
PSU socket |
