2.5.1.1 bullx blade chassis
In the front side, the bullx blade chassis has a LCP, 18 bays to host bullx B500 compute
blades and two bays to host fan blades. The bullx blade chassis includes two handles that
help in moving the bullx blade chassis. The Midplane, in the middle of the bullx blade
chassis, provides interconnectivity among blades and the various modules located in the
rear of the bullx blade chassis.
2.5.1.2 bullx B500 compute blades
The 18 bullx B500 compute blades are distributed in two rows, with eight on top row and
10 on the bottom row. All the blades are inserted from the front of the bullx blade system
and plugged vertically into the Midplane.
The bullx B500 compute blade provides the server motherboard functionality based on
dual Nehalem-EP (Efficient Performance) processors from Intel®. The processor features a
quad-core processing to maximize performance and performance/watt for datacenter
infrastructures and highly dense deployments. Each Nehalem-EP processor interconnects
with the other Nehalem-EP processor and the Tylersburg north bridge through the Intel’s
Quick Path Interconnect (QPI) feature. Each bullx B500 compute blade interconnects with
