Standard specifications
The following table lists the standard specifications.
Table 1. Standard specifications (part 1)
Components Specification
Form factor Standard-width compute node.
Chassis support IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis.
Processor Up to two Intel Xeon Processor E5-2400 product family processors with eight-core (up to 2.3
GHz), six-core (up to 2.4 GHz), or quad-core (up to 2.2 GHz), one QPI link running at 8.0 GTps,
L3 cache up to 20 MB, and memory speeds up to 1600 MHz. The server also supports one Intel
Pentium Processor 1400 product family processor with two cores, up to 2.8 GHz, 5 MB L3
cache, and 1066 MHz memory speeds.
Chipset Intel C600 series.
Memory Up to 12 DIMM sockets (six DIMMs per processor) using Low Profile (LP) DDR3 DIMMs.
RDIMMs, UDIMMs and LRDIMMs are supported. 1.5 V and low-voltage 1.35 V DIMMs are
supported. Support for up to 1600 MHz memory speed, depending on the processor. Three
memory channels per processor (two DIMMs per channel). Supports two DIMMs per channel
operating at 1600 MHz (2 DPC @ 1600 MHz) with single and dual rank RDIMMs.
Memory
maximums
With LRDIMMs: Up to 384 GB with 12x 32 GB LRDIMMs and two E5-2400 processors.
With RDIMMs: Up to 192 GB with 12x 16 GB RDIMMs and two E5-2400 processors.
With UDIMMs: Up to 48 GB with 12x 4 GB UDIMMs and two E5-2400 processors.
Half of these maximums and DIMMs counts with one processor installed.
Memory
protection
ECC, Chipkill (for x4-based memory DIMMs), and optional memory mirroring and memory rank
sparing.
Disk drive bays Two 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA drive bays supporting SAS, SATA, and SSD drives. Optional
support for up to eight 1.8-inch SSDs. Onboard ServeRAID C105 supports SATA drives only. Up
to 12 additional 2.5-inch drive bays with the optional Storage Expansion Node.
Maximum
internal storage
With two 2.5-inch hot-swap drives: Up to 2 TB with 1 TB 2.5-inch NL SAS HDDs, up to 1.8 TB
with 900 GB 2.5-inch SAS HDDs, or up to 2 TB with 1 TB 2.5-inch SATA HDDs, or up to 512 GB
with 256 GB 2.5-inch SATA SSDs. An intermix of SAS and SATA HDDs and SSDs is supported.
With 1.8-inch SSDs and ServeRAID M5115 RAID adapter: Up to 1.6 TB with eight 200 GB
1.8-inch SSDs.
RAID support Software RAID 0 and 1 with integrated LSI-based 3 Gbps ServeRAID C105 controller; supports
SATA drives only. Non-RAID not supported.
Optional ServeRAID H1135 RAID adapter with LSI SAS2004 controller, supports SAS/SATA
drives with hardware-based RAID 0 and 1. An H1135 adapter is installed in a dedicated PCIe
2.0 x4 connector and does not use either I/O adapter slot.
Optional ServeRAID M5115 RAID adapter with RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50 support and 1 GB cache.
M5115 uses the I/O adapter slot 1. Can be installed in all models, including models with
embedded a 1 GbE with Fabric connector. Supports up to eight 1.8-inch SSD with expansion
kits. Optional flash-backup for cache, RAID 6/60, and SSD performance enabler.
Network
interfaces
Some models (see Table 2): Embedded dual-port Broadcom BCM5718 Ethernet Controller that
supports Wake on LAN and Serial over LAN, IPv6. TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) not supported.
Routes to chassis I/O module bays 1 and 2 through a Fabric Connector to the chassis midplane.
The Fabric Connector precludes the use of I/O adapter slot 1, with the exception that the M5115
can be installed in slot 1 while the Fabric Connector is installed. Remaining models: No network
interface standard; optional 1 Gb or 10 Gb Ethernet adapters.
