novascale Blade BL465 - Installation and User's Guide
•
Microprocessor technology
The blade server supports up to four multi-core Intel Xeon microprocessors. For more
information about supported microprocessors and their part numbers, see the Problem
Determination and Service Guide .
Note The optional microprocessors that Bull supports are limited by the capacity
and capability of the server. Any microprocessors that you install must have
the same specifications as the microprocessors that came with the servers.
•
Integrated network support
The blade server comes with two integrated Broadcom 5709S dual-port Gigabit
Ethernet controller, which support connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000
Mbps network through an Ethernet-compatible switch module in the Blade Chassis. The
controller supports Wake on LAN
® technology
.
• I/O expansion
The blade server has connectors on the system board for optional expansion cards for
adding more network communication capabilities to the blade server.
•
Large system memory capacity
Each blade server system board supports up to 256 GB of system memory. The
memory controller provides support for up to16 industry-standard registered ECC
DDR3 on Very Low Profile (VLP) form factor DIMMs installed on the system board ,
Note If two BL465 blade servers are assembled in a BL465 complex, up to 512
GB of system memory is available to the BL465 complex.
•
Light path diagnostics
Light path diagnostics provides light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to help you diagnose
problems. For more information, see the Problem Determination and Service Guide .
In addition, scalability indicators are available through the front bezel. These
indicators enable you to tell whether the BL465 is operating independently or as a
single hardware partition.
• PCI Express
PCI Express is a serial interface that is used for chip-to-chip interconnect and expansion
adapter interconnect. With the blade expansion connector you can add optional I/O
and storage devices.
•
Power throttling
Each blade server is powered by four Enterprise Voltage Regulator-Down (EVRD) 11.0
voltage regulators. By enforcing a power policy known as power-domain
oversubscription, the Blade Chassis can share the power load between two power
modules to ensure sufficient power for each device in the Blade Chassis. This policy is
enforced when the initial power is applied to the Blade Chassis or when a blade
server is inserted into the Blade Chassis.
The following settings for this policy are available:
−
Power module redundancy
− Power module redundancy with blade throttling allowed
− Basic power management
