•
Motherboard
—Holds four processor sockets and 8 memory risers with up to 12 DIMMs per memory
riser for a maximum of 96 DIMMs per motherboard. Each motherboard can be ordered with risers that
enable the base MC990 X server chassis to support up to four full-height x16 PCIe cards and up to
eight full-height x8 PCIe cards.
•
Drives
—Each MC990 X base server chassis has a drive tray that supports one optional slim-line
SATA DVD drive and four 2.5-inch hard disk or solid state drives. An MC990 X expansion server
chassis does not require a drive assembly and can accommodate four additional PCIe cards.
•
Internal PCIe enabled slots
—The MC990 X enclosure and motherboard support the following types
of PCIe option boards:
◦ Four full-height, half-length, Gen3 x8 PCIe slots
◦ Four full-height, 10.5-inch length, Gen3 x8 PCIe slots
◦ Four full-height, double-wide, 10.5-inch length, Gen3 x16 PCIe slots
NOTE:
The x16 PCIe slots support cards with a maximum power consumption of 300 watts.
•
NUMAlink Connectors
—The external NUMAlink connectors are located on the lower-front portion of
each MC990 X enclosure.
•
BaseIO board
—Optional I/O riser board (connected directly to the motherboard) that supports base
system I/O functions including one Gbit Ethernet connector (top), four USB ports, and bays for two
optional external 1.8-inch solid state drives (SSDs).
Internally, the BaseIO board supports:
