GIGABYTE Ring Topology Kit (rev. 100)

The GIGABYTE Ring Topology Kit (rev. 100) is an optional management module designed to enhance the monitoring and control of GIGABYTE H-Series 2U 4-node server systems. It facilitates the creation of a resilient "ring" network topology, enabling efficient multi-server management within a rack.​

Key Features of Gigabyte Ring Topology Kit (rev. 100):

• Multi-Server Management: Enables a ring topology for monitoring and managing all servers (both chassis-level and node-level) in a rack, including iKVM support. This setup reduces cabling and switch port usage, leading to cost savings and improved management efficiency.​
• Resilient Network Design: The ring topology ensures that the network remains operational even if one server in the chain is shut down, enhancing system reliability.​
• Hardware Specifications:
  • 1 x 1Gb/s LAN management port​
  • Controllers: Realtek RTL8370N-VB and RTL8211E-VB​
  • Dimensions: 174 x 41 mm (including chassis kit)​
  • Part Numbers: 6NH23NR48SR-00, 6NH262Z65SR-00​

This kit is a standard feature for the H281-PE0 model and an optional add-on for other H-Series servers. It requires only two Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch connections to establish the ring system

Multi-Server Management

GIGABYTE’s H-Series Servers feature the ability to create a “ring” connection for monitoring & management of all servers (incl. chassis-level & node-level) in a rack (including iKVM support) with an onboard LAN hub and dual MLAN ports*. Only two ToR (Top of Rack) switch connections are needed to create the ring system, and the ring will not be broken even if one server in the chain is shut down, reducing cabling and switch port usage for greater cost savings and management efficiency.

* Standard feature for H281-PE0; optional feature of all other H-Series models by adding Ring Topology Kit (P/N: 6NH23NR48SR-00)
