This configuration can be partitioned in one of two ways:
One partition of 12 processors
Two partitions, one with four and one with eight processors
Two x440s with 16 processors. This configuration can be partitioned in one of two ways:
One partition of eight processors
Two partitions each with eight processors

Although not supported on the x440, the maximum configuration that System Partition Manager supports is four nodes with four processors each and four expansion enclosures. The expansion enclosures are connected, one to each node or
