Scalability and performance The BladeCenter HX5 offers numerous features to boost performance, improve scalability, and reduce costs: The HX5 supports up to two high-performance Intel Xeon E7 family allowing you to upgrade as business needs require.
The server can be scaled to four processors by connecting two HX5 servers together to form a single system image; alternatively, extra memory can be added with the addition of the MAX5 memory expansion blade Supports the Intel Xeon E, E and E families of high performance processors, up to 10 cores each, offering superior system performance Each HX5 scalable to GB of memory internally or 1. Intel Turbo Boost Technology dynamically turns off unused processor cores and increases the clock speed of the cores in use, by up to three model frequencies.
For example, with cores active, a 2. With cores active, it can run those cores at 2. Memory access is at up to MHz frequency, depending on the processor model and memory used. The MAX5 adds an additional memory controller to maximize memory parallelism and performance. In processors implementing Hyper-Threading technology, each core has two threads capable of running an independent process.
Thus, a core processor can run 20 threads concurrently. Two optional 1. Availability and serviceability The BladeCenter HX5 provides many features to simplify serviceability and increase system uptime: Support for machine check architecture MCA recovery, a feature of the Intel Xeon processor E7 family, which enables the handling of system errors that otherwise require the operating system to be halted. SAP HANA is one of the first application which leverages the MCA recovery to handle system errors in order to prevent the application from being terminated in case of a system error.
Dual independent power and signal connectors to the BladeCenter chassis midplane provide fault tolerance to increase uptime. Tool-less cover removal provides easy access to upgrades and serviceable parts, such as CPU, memory, and adapter cards. The server offers hot-swap drives supporting integrated RAID 1 redundancy for data protection and greater system uptime. The power source independent light path diagnostics panel and individual light path LEDs quickly lead the technician to failed or failing components.
This simplifies servicing, speeds up problem resolution, and helps improve system availability. The Predictive Failure Analysis PFA detects when system components processors, memory, and hard disk drives operate outside of standard thresholds and generates pro-active alerts in advance of possible failure, therefore increasing uptime. Built-in Integrated Management Module IMM continuously monitors system parameters, triggers alerts, and performs recovering actions in case of failures to minimize downtime.
Three-year customer replaceable unit and onsite limited warranty, next business day 9x5. Optional service upgrades are available. Integrated industry-standard Unified Extensible Firmware Interface UEFI enables improved setup, configuration, and updates, and simplifies error handling. IBM Systems Director is included for proactive systems management. It offers comprehensive systems management tools that help to increase up-time, reduce costs, and improve productivity through advanced server management capabilities.
IBM Fabric Manager simplifies deployment of infrastructure connections by managing network and storage address assignments. IBM FastSetup simplifies, automates, and speeds up the deployment process from server power-up to production, making BladeCenter easier to manage, deploy, and maintain. Energy efficiency The BladeCenter HX5 offers the following energy-efficiency features to save energy, reduce operational costs, increase energy availability, and contribute to the green environment: Component-sharing design of the BladeCenter chassis provides ultimate power and cooling savings.
The Intel Xeon processor E7 product family offers significantly better performance over the previous generation while fitting into the same thermal design power TDP limits. Intel Intelligent Power Capability powers individual processor elements on and off as needed, to reduce power draw.
Low-voltage Intel Xeon processors draw less energy to satisfy demands of power and thermally constrained data centers and telecommunication environments.
Low-voltage 1. Hexagonal holes can be grouped more densely than round holes, providing more efficient airflow through the system. Locations of key components Figure 2 shows the inside of the server and indicates key components.
Standard specifications The following table lists the standard specifications. The following table is divided into four groups: Models with optional MAX5. These models can optionally attach to the MAX5 memory expansion unit. If the MAX5 is attached you cannot also attach the two-node scalability kit to form a two-node configuration.
The reverse is also true - forming a two-node configuration precludes the use of the MAX5. Under Product support , click BladeCenter. Under Popular links , click Software and device drivers. Click BladeCenter HS22 to display the matrix of downloadable files for the blade server.
