These processors support internal processing speeds of up to 2.26 GHz and external
processing operations to memory at 1067 MHz. These 6-core and 8-core Intel Xeon-
based processors contain integrated, full-speed, 18 MB and 24 MB, level 2 cache.
Intel Xeon Processor E6540 - 2.00 GHz 18 MB L3 Cache 1066 MHz Intel Six
Core Processor Upgrade (60Y0320)
supports internal processing speeds of 2.00
GHz and external processing operations to memory at 1066 MHz. It contains an
integrated, full-speed, 18 MB level 3 cache.
Intel Xeon Processor X7550 - 2.00 GHz 18 MB L3 Cache 1066 MHz Intel
Eight Core Processor Upgrade (49Y4302)
supports internal processing speeds of
2.00 GHz and external processing operations to memory at 1066 MHz. It contains an
integrated, full-speed, 18 MB level 3 cache.
Intel Xeon Processor X7560 - 2.26 GHz 24 MB L3 Cache 1066 MHz Intel
Eight Core Processor Upgrade (49Y4300)
supports internal processing speeds of
2.26 GHz and external processing operations to memory at 1066 MHz. It contains an
integrated, full-speed, 24 MB level 3 cache.
Memory options
• 2 GB MAX5 (1x2GB, 1Rx8, 1.5V) PC3-10600 CL9 ECC DDR3 1333MHz LP RDIMM
(44T1592)
• 4 GB MAX5 (1x4GB, Dual Rankx8) PC3-10600 CL9 ECC DDR3 1333MHz LP
RDIMM (44T1599)
• 8 GB MAX5 (1x8GB, Quad Rankx8) PC3-8500 CL7 ECC DDR3 1066MHz LP RDIMM
(46C7482)
• 16 GB (1x16GB, Quad Rankx4) PC3-8500 CL7 ECC DDR3 1066MHz LP RDIMM
(46C7483)
Note:
Refer to details on Server Proven Plan for memory supported in x3690 and
memory supported in MAX5.
These high-speed, DDR3 registered DIMMs are synchronized to the processor.
Once addressed, data can be transferred on both edges of the clock signal. This
significantly improves performance of the 1066 MHz front-side bus Xeon processor.
Memory Expansion Card (60Y0323)
allows you to upgrade your machine with
up to 32 memory expansion DIMMs. System memory can be expanded to 1024 GB
by adding 16 GB PC3-10600 CL4 ECC DDR3 SDRAM RDIMM in each of the 64 DIMM
sockets.
Memory ProteXion:
• Utilizes unused bits in each memory DIMM (hot-spare bits)
• Doubles the amount of Chipkill memory sustainable per server
• Is included at no additional cost, requires no additional hardware, and works
independently of operating system
• Is similar to the "hot-spare" of a DASD array
Memory mirroring:
• Propels Intel-based servers towards continuous operations
• Dramatically helps to increase uptime and allow scheduled maintenance
• Helps provide capability and reliability approaching a mainframe
• Is operating system independent; does not require drivers or operating system
support
Chipkill memory:
