Components Specification
Machine type 8752
Form factor 2U rack.
Processor Up to four Intel Xeon E5-4600 v2 processors, each with 12 cores (2.4 GHz), ten cores (up to 2.4
GHz), eight cores (up to 3.3 GHz), six cores (2.6 GHz), or four cores (2.2 GHz). Up to 1866 MHz
memory speed. Up to 30 MB L3 cache per processor. Two processor sockets on the system
board and two processors on the processor and memory expansion tray (standard on most
models). Two QPI links up to 8.0 GTps each.
Chipset Intel C600 series.
Memory Up to 48 DIMM sockets (12 DIMMs per processor). RDIMMs and LRDIMMs (Load Reduced
DIMMs) are supported, but memory types cannot be intermixed. The memory speed is up to
1866 MHz. There are 24 DIMM sockets on the system board. There are an additional 24 DIMM
sockets on the processor and memory expansion tray (standard on most models).
Memory
maximums
With RDIMMs: Up to 768 GB with 48x 16 GB RDIMMs and four processors.
With LRDIMMs: Up to 1.5 TB with 48x 32 GB LRDIMMs and four processors.
Memory
protection
ECC, Chipkill (for x4-based memory DIMMs), memory mirroring, and memory sparing.
Disk drive bays Up to 16 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA bays or up to 32 1.8-inch hot-swap solid-state drive
(SSD) eXFlash bays. Drive bays can be in any combination of four 2.5-inch drives or eight
1.8-inch eXFlash SSD drives.
Maximum
internal storage
Up to 25.6 TB with 1.6 TB 2.5” SSDs, up to 19.2 TB with 1.2 TB 2.5" SAS HDDs, up to 16 TB
with 1 TB 2.5" NL SAS/SATA HDDs. Intermix of SAS/SATA supported.
RAID support RAID 0, 1, 10 with integrated ServeRAID M5210e with LSI SAS3108 RAID on Chip (ROC)
controller. Optional upgrades to RAID 5 and 50 are available (1GB cache no battery, or 1 or 2
GB flash-backed cache). Optional upgrades to RAID 6 and 60 when cache is also installed.
Optical drive
bays
There is one bay for an optional Multiburner drive.
Tape drive bays None internal. Use a supported external tape drive.
Network
interfaces
Dedicated mezzanine LOM adapter slot for a choice of 2-port 10 GbE (RJ45 or SFP+) or 4-port
1 GbE controller. One port can optionally be shared with the IMM2 management processor.
Standard models include Intel I350-T4 ML2 Quad Port GbE Adapter (I350 based) except model
C2x which includes Broadcom NetXtreme II ML2 Dual Port 10GbaseT (BCM57712 based)
PCI Expansion
slots
Up to eight slots, five on the system board, up to three on an optional riser card. Slots 1, 2, and
3 are physically x16 slots. Alternative 2-slot riser with one x16 and one x8 slot also available.
The slots are as follows:
Slot 1: PCIe 3.0 x8; full-height, half-length (optional with riser card, requires processor 2)
Slot 2: PCIe 3.0 x8; full-height, half-length (optional with riser card, requires processor 2)
Slot 3: PCIe 3.0 x8; full-height, half-length (optional with riser card, requires processor 2)
Slot 4: PCIe 3.0 x8; low profile (requires processor 2)
Slot 5: PCIe 3.0 x8; low profile (requires processor 2)
Slot 6: PCIe 3.0 x8; low profile
Slot 7: PCIe 3.0 x8; low profile
Slot 8: PCIe 3.0 x8; low profile
