four QPI links per microprocessor
v
Four Scalable Memory Interface
(SMI) links speed up to 6.4 GT per
second, with four SMI links per
microprocessor
v
Intel EX core chipset (I/O Hub)
v
Intel 7500 or 7510 scalable memory
buffer (depending on your model)
with up to eight memory ports
(memory channels) when the
optional memory tray is installed
(four ports on the system board
and four ports on the optional
memory tray). Each port controls
four DIMMs.
v
HyperThreading
Note:
v
Use the Setup utility program to
determine the type and speed of
the microprocessors.
v
For a list of supported
microprocessors, see
http://www.ibm.com/servers/
eserver/serverproven/compat/
us/.
Memory (depending on the model):
v
Slots: 16 dual inline memory
module connectors (on the system
board).
v
Minimum: 2 GB
v
Maximum: 512 GB (on the base
system board)
Note:
1.
If you purchase and install the
optional 16-DIMM memory
tray, another 512 GB of
additional memory is available
(depending on the model).
2.
If you purchase and attach the
optional 32-DIMM IBM MAX5
for System x memory
expansion module, another 1
TB of additional memory is
available (depending on the
model).
3.
The server can support a total
of 2 TBs of memory when both
the optional memory tray and
the MAX5 are installed
(depending on the model).
v
Type: 1333 MHz PC3-10600R-999,
1333 MHz PC3L-10600, 1600 MHz
PC3-12800, or 1066 MHz PC3-8500
(single-rank, double-rank, or
quad-rank), ECC, 240 pin, DDR3
registered SDRAM DIMMs only
– PC3-10600R-999 is available in 2
GB, 4 GB, and 16 GB DIMMs
– PC3L-10600 is available in 16
GB LP-RDIMMs (supported on
Machine Types 7147 and 7192
only)
– PC3-12800 is available in 16 GB
DIMMs
– PC3-8500 is available in 8 GB,
16 GB, and 32 GB DIMMs
v
Supports l.35-volt (low-voltage)
and 1.5-volt registered DIMMs (see
“Replacing a memory module” on
page 296 for more information).
Scalability:
v
Scales with the IBM MAX5 for
System x memory expansion
module with QPI links for
additional memory
Note:
When you add an optional
MAX5 to your server configuration
and you plan to use the optional USB
flash device with VMware ESXi
embedded hypervisor software, see
the documentation that comes with
the USB flash device and the
operating system installation
instructions for installing VMware
ESXi (or ESX, depending on your
environment) on your server at the
IBM website at http://
www.ibm.com/systems/support/.
The documentation provides
additional installation and
configuration information that you
need to follow before you use the
MAX5.
Drive expansion bays, depending on
the model):
v
The server can support up to 24
hot-swap drives using the
supported SAS\SATA backplane
configurations. The following
drives are supported:
v
2.5-inch hot-swap SAS or hot-swap
SATA hard disk drive
v
1.8-inch hot-swap solid state drive
(SSD)
v
2.5-inch hot-swap solid state drive
(SSD)
Note:
Configurations with all
1.8-inch drive backplanes can support
one additional simple-swap drive if
you purchase the optional
Simple-swap 2.5-inch SATA Drive
and Backplate kit.
