Standard specifications

The following table lists the standard specifications.

Table 1. Standard specifications (part 1)

Components	Specification
Form factor	2U rack.
Processor	Up to four Intel Xeon processor E5-4600 product family processors, each with eight cores (up to
	2.7 GHz), six cores (up to 2.9 GHz), or four cores (up to 2.0 GHz). 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. Up to 1600 MHz memory speed. Up to 20
	MB L3 cache per processor.
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
	1600 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	With RDIMMs: Up to 768 GB with 48x 16 GB RDIMMs and four processors,
maximums	With LRDIMMs: Up to 1.5 TB with 48x 32 GB LRDIMMs and four processors.
Memory	ECC, Chipkill (for x4-based memory DIMMs), memory mirroring, and memory sparing.
protection
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	Up to 14.4 TB with 900 GB 2.5-inch SAS HDDs, up to 16 TB with 1 TB 2.5-inch NL SAS/SATA
internal storage	HDDs, or up to 16 TB of SSDs using 512 GB 1.8-inch drives. An intermix of SAS/SATA is
	supported.
RAID support	RAID 0, 1, 10 with integrated ServeRAID M5110e with LSI SAS2208 6 Gbps RAID on Chip
	(ROC) controller. Optional upgrades to RAID 5 and 50 are available (zero-cache is 512 MB and
	battery-backed cache is 512 MB or 1 GB flash-backed cache). There is an optional upgrade to
	RAID 6 and 60 for a 512 MB or 1 GB cache.
Optical drive	There is one bay for an optional Multiburner drive.
bays
Tape drive bays	None internal. Use a supported external tape drive.
Network	Emulex BE3 controller with two standard integrated Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-T ports (RJ-45)
interfaces	and two optional 10 Gb ports through an adapter in a dedicated slot. The 10 GbE options are
	10Base-T dual port (copper) or SFP+ dual port (fiber).
PCI Expansion	Up to eight slots, five on the system board, three on an optional riser card. The slots are as
slots	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
	Slots 1, 2, and 3 are physically x16 slots.
