Table 1. Standard specifications (part 1)
Components
Specification
Form factor
Half-depth, 2U chassis with up to two planar trays.
Supported
chassis
IBM System x iDataPlex dx360 M4 2U chassis, type 7913.
Processor
Two Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 or E5-2600 v2 series processors; QuickPath Interconnect
(QPI) links speed up to 8.0 GTps. Hyper-Threading Technology and Turbo Boost Technology.
Intel C602J (Patsburg-J) chipset. Up to 12 cores per processor. Core speeds up to 3.5 GHz.
Integrated L3 cache up to 25 MB.
Memory cache
Up to 20 MB.
Chipset
Intel C600 Series.
Memory
Up to 16 DIMM sockets (8 DIMMs per processor) supporting DDR3 DIMMs. Four memory
channels per processor (two DIMMs per channel).
For E5-2600-based systems: RDIMMs with memory speeds of 1600 MHz or 1333 MHz, or
UDIMMS at 1333 MHz are supported.
For E5-2600 v2-based systems: RDIMMs with memory speeds of 1866 MHz or 1600 MHz, or
UDIMMS at 1600 MHz are supported.
Memory
maximums
For E5-2600-based systems: Up to 512 GB with 16x 32 GB LRDIMMs and two processors.
For E5-2600 v2-based systems: Up to 256 GB with 16x 16 GB LRDIMMs and two processors.
Memory
protection
ECC, memory mirroring, and memory sparing.
Disk drive bays
One 3.5" simple-swap SATA or two 2.5" simple swap SAS/SATA HDDs or SSDs, or four 1.8"
simple-swap SSDs.
Maximum
internal storage
Up to 8.0 TB per 2U chassis using two 4TB 3.5-inch drives.
RAID support
Two-port 6 Gbps PCIe 3.0 SATA controller with Intel C600 chipset. Optional RAID with
supported 6Gbps RAID controllers.
Optical drive
bays
No internal bays. Use an external USB drive such as the IBM and Lenovo part number 73P4515
or 73P4516.
Tape drive bays No internal bays. Use an external USB drive.
Network
interfaces
Two Gigabit Ethernet ports using onboard Intel I350 Gb Ethernet controller. Optionally, two FDR
InfiniBand ports or two 10 GbE ports via a mezzanine card (which does not occupy a PCIe slot).
PCI Expansion
slots
One PCIe 3.0 x8 mezzanine slot supports 10 GbE or InfiniBand. Standard models include two
riser cards, each riser providing one slot:
Slot 1: PCIe 3.0 x16 - full-height/half-length
Slot 2: PCIe 3.0 x16 - full-height/half-length
Use of both riser slots requires two CPUs to be installed. For CTO configurations, alternative
risers can be used with PCIe chassis trays to provide GPU support.
With a GPGPU chassis tray installed in the chassis (one node per 2U chassis):
2x PCIe 3.0 x16 (for GPU or coprocessor) - full-height/full-length/double-wide
2x PCIe 3.0 x8 (x16 mechanical) - full-height/half-length
