** Processor detail: Quantity, model, cores, core speed, memory speed, L3 cache.
* The number in brackets is the number of memory cards standard in each model. Up to eight cards are
supported. Each holds up to eight DIMMs for a total of 64 DIMMs. The MAX5 adds 32 DIMM sockets for a
total of 96 DIMMs.
† The H models include one Emulex 10GbE Integrated Virtual Fabric Adapter (with two 10GbE SW SFP+
Transceivers), one Emulex 10GbE Virtual Fabric Adapter II (with two 10GbE SW SFP+ Transceivers), and
one Intel Ethernet Quad Port Server Adapter I340-T4 for a total of four 10Gb ports and six 1Gb ports. All F
models include one Emulex 10GbE Integrated Virtual Fabric Adapter. D3x and D4x models include one
Emulex 10GbE Integrated Virtual Fabric Adapter II.
‡ Models HCx and HEx include the QPI Scalability Kit (four cables), part number 46M0072. Use model HBx
plus HCx or HDx plus HEx to form a 2-node scaled complex.
§ NS=Not supported. MAX5 is not currently certified for use with SAP HANA and is therefore not supported
About these models:
Models 7143-D3x, D4x: These models are designed for database applications and use solid state
drives for the best I/O performance.
Backplane connections for sixteen 1.8-inch solid state drives (SSD) are standard, as are sixteen 200
GB high-performance solid-state drives. Model D3x includes two SSD host bus adapters. Model
D4x includes four ServeRAID M5015 RAID controllers with four ServeRAID M5000 Series
Performance Accelerator Keys.
Models 7143-HAx, HBx, HCx: These models are optimized to run the SAP High-Performance
Analytic Appliance (HANA) solution.
The x3950 X5 Workload Optimized Solution for SAP HANA is an integrated, ready-to-run, hardware-
software offering, featuring the new SAP HANA software. Models HDx and HEx are specifically
