Processor Mixing
Support
HPE Superdome X governing rules for mixing processors are as follows:
•
No mixing of processor types within a nPartition
•
No support for processors running at different frequencies or different cache sizes within the same
nPartition
•
Processor modules on a blade must be the same revision, frequency, & cache size
•
Mixing of processors with different frequencies and/or cache sizes will be NOT allowed within a
nPartition
•
You can mix blades of different processor frequencies, cache sizes and generations within a single
enclosure
provided each different processor type is in separate nPartitions per the rules listed above.

Memory Support
HPE Superdome X use the Intel® Scalable Memory Buffer chip to translate between the Scalable Memory
Interconnect 2 (SMI2 or VMSE) technology on the memory controller and the DDR3 DIMMs.
The following DIMMs are supported on BL920s Gen9 blades:
•
16GB DDR4-2133 CAS-15-15-15 LRDIMMs for BL920s Gen9 (v3)
•
32GB DDR4-2133 CAS-15-15-15 LRDIMMs for BL920s Gen9 (v3)
•
32GB DDR4-2400 CAS-17 LRDIMMs for BL920s Gen9 (v4)
•
64GB DDR4-2400 CAS-17 LRDIMMs for BL920s Gen9 (v4)
The following DIMMs are supported on BL920s Gen8 blades:
•
16GB PC3-12800R (DDR3-1600) Registered CAS-11 DIMMs for BL920s Gen8
•
32GB PC3-14900R (DDR3-1866) Registered CAS-13 DIMMs for BL920s Gen8
Only DIMMs that Hewlett Packard Enterprise has qualified on BL920s Server Blades are supported.
The BL920s Server Blade supports 48 DIMMs and eight Intel® Scalable Memory Buffer chips. This equates to
twelve DIMMs and two Scalable Memory Buffer chips per memory controller (two memory controllers per
processor).
General memory configuration rules:
•
For best performance, the amount of memory on each blade within the partition should be the same.
•
Use the same amount of memory on each processor module within a partition.
•
Use fewer DIMM populations of larger DIMM sizes to get the best performance where possible (use
16x 32GB DIMMs instead of 32x 16GB DIMMs if you need 512 GB of memory per Blade)
HPE Superdome X DIMM loading rules and numbering (top-down view of blade)
The DIMMs must be loaded in groups of 16 on the Blade, and must be loaded in the following order: A -> B -> C -> D -> E -> F
