Performance features
Processors
In the BX620 S5 Server Blade, one (basic configuration) or two dual-core or
quad-core processors of the Intel
®
XEON
®
type ensure fast data flow and high
system performance.
The addition of processors is described in the Options Guide and the
replacement of processors in the Service Supplement.
V
CAUTION!
You are only permitted to combine CPUs with the same clock frequency
and cache capacity in one BX620 S4 Server Blade.
Memory
6 DIMM slots for DDR3 memory modules are available per CPU on the
PRIMERGY BX620 S5 server blade (organized in 2 banks and 3 channels).
These 12 slots for the main memory are suitable both for RDIMM (registered
DIMM) and for UDIMM (unbuffered DIMM) memory modules. You must use
modules of the same size within a memory bank.
The maximum memory configuration when equipped with UDIMM memory
modules is 24 GB (capacities: 1024 and 2048 MB) and 96 GB when equipped
with RDIMM memory modules (capacities: 2048, 4096 and 8192 MB).
I
You are not permitted to mix UDIMM and RDIMM memory modules.
Memory scrubbing and ChipKill
™
are standard.
The installation of memory modules is described in the Options Guide.
Hard disk drives
The BX620 S4 Server Blade can accommodate up to two 2.5-inch HDD
modules (alternatively with SAS or SATA interface).
SATA HDD modules with a capacity of 120 GB are available. The maximum
hard disk capacity is thus 240 GB (2x120 GB).
SAS HDD modules are available with capacities of 36 GB, 73 GB or 146 GB.
The maximum hard disk capacity is thus 292 GB (2x146 GB).
