2-2 General Description
OVERVIEW
NEC Express5800/SIGMABLADE is a modular and multiprocessing system that includes processor,
memory, network connections, optional add-in card slot, and associated electronics, all on a single
mother board called a CPU blade.
The CPU blades are typically installed into a rack-mountable enclosure that houses multiple CPU
blades that share common resources such as cabling, power supplies, and cooling fans.
This high-density technology reduces the installation space, lowers a total cost of ownership, and
offers increased computing density while ensuring both maximum scalability and ease of
management.
The Tape Blade does not require any power cord and cables to connect with the CPU blade. In
addition, the Tape Blade can contain optional mezzanine cards for blade.
