Configuring an EXA multi-node system

Note: The EXA scalability feature is supported only in memory expansion modules that contain the Intel 7510 Scalable Memory Buffer.

This feature requires scalability cables and firmware that supports X-Architecture scalability from one memory expansion module to another memory expansion module. In a 2-node EXA scaled configuration, each memory expansion module is connected to an x3850 X5 or x3950 X5 server, and the memory expansion modules are connected to each other through the EXA scalability cables. (For detailed installation instructions, see the documentation that came with the EXA cables.)
