Preface
The PRIMERGY BX630 S2 server blade is a scalable AMD-based dual-socket
server blade. It offers several new forward-looking technologies such as quad-
core processors, 2.5-inch SAS or SATA-II hard disk drives, four 1-Gbit/s
onboard Ethernet LAN channels and an optional dual-channel 4-Gbit/s Fibre
Channel (FC) connection. Two BX630 S2 dual-socket server blades can be
connected to form a quad-socket server blade with 16 processor cores.

unit.

In the latter case, however, only 2 of the 4 onboard Ethernet channels of
