processors are supported along with 32 DIMM slots providing 256GB of memory for ultimate virtualization efficiency. The four 10Gb
FlexFabric ports with built-in FCoE, Flex-10, accelerated iSCSI, and TCP/IP offload engine combined with the three mezzanine
expansion slots yield an outstanding 96Gb of I/O bandwidth.
The BL620c G7 is also perfect for 2P applications requiring performance and features greater than typical dual processor (DP) Intel
Xeon 5000 offerings. The scalability of the BL620c G7 offers up to 4x memory capacity and increased memory performance along with
an extensive list of memory RAS features, 40x embedded Ethernet bandwidth, and 50% more on-board I/O slots than other 2P Intel
Xeon 5500 and 5600 Series servers available today.
Traditional multi-processor (MP) class server blades are typically unbalanced providing processor performance and density at the
expense of proportional memory capacity and I/O bandwidth. As such, these unbalanced servers fail when faced with larger databases
and higher-density virtualization applications. Today, you have a better alternative. By designing a balanced architecture, the BL620c
G7 is a very unique 2P MP blade offering that ensures that all subsystems can be used effectively under a broad range of enterprise
applications and workloads. The 2P BL620c G7 along with the 4P BL680c G7 together provide a complete Intel Xeon 7500 portfolio
that is a new class of scale-up HP ProLiant servers that deliver the reliability and performance you need to handle demanding
workloads with confidence- while simplifying management and driving down operating costs.
This document covers the NEBS Level 3 certified BL620 G7. These blades, with the associated c7000 enclosure, and interconnects, etc.
which have passed the NEBS Level 3 (GR-63 and GR-1089) and ETSI EN 300 386-2 certifications. Testing and certification is limited to -
48VDC powered enclosures. For more information on HP ProLiant Server Blades and HP BladeSystem c-Class Interconnect

Processor
:
One or two, Intel Xeon 7500 Series processors each up to 8 cores and 105 watts.
NOTE:
All processors within the server must be identical.
Intel 7500 chipset with two integrated memory controllers and four Intel® Scalable Memory Buffers (SMI) per processor
supporting sixteen 16GB DIMMs per processor
Meshed network of Intel® QuickPath Interconnects (Intel QPI) each up to 6.4GT/s (25.6GB/s data bandwidth) for point-to-
point high speed links increasing bandwidth and lowering latency
Intel® Hyper-threading resulting in higher processing throughput and improved multi-threaded application performance
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology that can automatically operate the processor(s) at a faster frequency than the base
operating frequency under certain circumstances.
Up to 24MB of L3 cache per processors increasing efficiency of cache-to-cache data transfers maximizing memory
bandwidth while reducing latency through storing greater amount of data thus reducing data transfers to memory.
Intel® Virtualization Technology that assist virtualization software in generating more efficient virtualization solutions.
PCI Gen2 increasing bandwidth up to 48 GB/s on each x8 PCI Express Gen2 connection.
Extensive list of advanced reliability, serviceability, and availability (RAS) features
Memory
:
Thirty-two (32) DDR-3 RDIMM slots
256GB of DDR3-1033 and DD3-1066 registered DIMMs (RDIMMs) operating up to 1066MHz.
NOTE:
DDR3 memory speed is a function of the processor Intel QPI speed. See the "Memory" section below for details.
Memory RAS features including:
Data bus ECC protection and advanced ECC / Chip Spare / SDDC
Patrol and demand scrubbing
DIMM address/control bus parity protection
Memory mirroring and memory failover
Rank sparring (online spare)
Intel SMI lane and clock failover
