ICubBrain

In June 2009, we installed Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server ('Hardy Heron') 64bit on the "1U Twin" server that is to be used as iCub Brain (hence the name). It includes a SC808T-980 1U chassis and two twin X7DWT serverboards. Each of the two boards hosts an Intel Xeon 8-core processor.

Operating system installation

The chassis contains two separate machines, each one having two hard disk drive drawers. Next, we will explain how we configured the left part of the server, called icubbrain1. The settings for icubbrain2 will be just about the same, with the last octet of the IP address being 42 instead of 41.
