HPE Superdome X: The Ultimate x86 based Mission-critical Platform
HPE Superdome X is an HPE server that represents a new category of x86 modular, mission-critical systems to consolidate all tiers
of critical applications on a common platform. Engineered with trusted Superdome 2 reliability, the HPE Superdome X includes a
modular, bladed design, and shares HPE BladeSystem efficiencies including a common server management framework, supported
from x86 to Superdome 2. With breakthrough innovations such as the fault-tolerant Crossbar Fabric and Error Analysis Engine
coupled with hard partitioning capabilities, Superdome X sets the standard for mission-critical x86 computing.
Key features and
benefits
HPE Superdome X offers scalability that surpasses the market, flexibility through HPE nPARs, and mission
critical RAS functionality. In summary:
•
Support for up to 16 Intel® Xeon® Processor E7 v4 and E7 v3 Family
•
384 DIMM slots with up to 24 TB of DDR4 memory (Gen9), providing a large memory footprint for
the most demanding applications
•
16 FlexLOM slots (2 per blade) providing LAN on motherboard configuration flexibility
•
24 Mezz PCIe gen3 slots (3 per blade) for maximum IO bandwidth connectivity to LAN, SAN, and
InfiniBand
•
Built-in shared DVD
•
HPE nPARs: 1-, 2-, 3-(BL920s Gen9 blades only), 4-, 6-(BL920s Gen9 (v4) blades only) or 8-Blade
and multiple nPARs supported for greater system reliability and licensing optimization
•
Error Analysis Engine self-heals by driving response to failures, minimizing human error
General
The HPE BladeSystem Superdome Enclosure is the foundational building block for Superdome X. Each
compute enclosure supports 15 fans, 12 power supplies, associated power cords, 2 Onboard Administrator
(OA) modules, 2 Global Partitioning Services Modules (GPSM), and four HPE Crossbar Fabric Modules
(XFMs). Configurations of 1 to 8 blades can be populated in an enclosure with support for hard partitions
(nPars) containing 1, 2, 3*, 4, 6** or 8 Blades. Multiple HPE nPars of different sizes are supported within a
single enclosure.
NOTE*: BL920s Gen9 blades only
NOTE**: BL920s Gen9 (v4) blades only
HPE BladeSystem
Superdome
Enclosure
The enclosure can support up to eight server blades and up to eight IO Interconnect Modules.
BL920s Server
Blade
Each server blade – has the following specifications:
1.
Includes two Intel E7 v4 or E7 v3 processors. The included processors depends on which blade
model is purchased.
2.
48 DIMMs slots for DDR4 memory (Gen9) or DDR3 memory (Gen8)
3.
3 Mezzanine slots (1 x8, 2 x16) PCIe gen3
4.
2 FlexLOM slots
5.
The XNC2 chipset to enable smooth, high-performance scalability from 2 to 16 sockets in addition to
mission-critical class RAS features.
Partitioning
Packages
Each enclosure must be purchased with one of these two partitioning licenses:
1.
Basic Partition License = Single Partition, up to 4 blades (8s) in size = “Entry” config
2.
Advanced Partition License = Multiple partitions, each up to 8 blades (16s) in size.
