These processors can also run in legacy mode (where a 32-bit
application is running under a 32-bit operating system) and remain fully
compatible with 32-bit applications and operating systems.
BladeCenter HS20 blade servers can be installed in a new IBM eServer
BladeCenter chassis (8677-3XX) or they can be installed in your existing
BladeCenter chassis (8677-1XX or 8677-2XX) after it is upgraded with the
2000-watt power supply option (26K4816)(7). In addition, these HS20
blades servers can be installed in the BladeCenter T chassis (8720-1RX
and 8730-1RX).
Eight 2.8GHz Low Voltage processor model blades are supported in the
BladeCenter T chassis (8720, 8730). For all other 8843 HS20 models, up
to seven blades are supported in the BladeCenter T chassis (8720 or
8730).
The BladeCenter HS20 blade servers, coupled with the BladeCenter and
BladeCenter T chassis, advance application serving with performance,
density, and scalability.
At your command are:
- Powerful, two-way SMP-capable Xeon processors
- High-speed memory
- Dual Gigabit Ethernet connections
- SCSI RAID-1 and 1E (mirroring) supported in 32-bit legacy mode only
- Advanced high-availability and systems management features
These features provide an economic approach to the deployment of large
numbers of powerful servers that require less space and fewer power
resources.
Note: (7) For 8677 BladeCenter Chassis with 1200W power supplies do not
provide enough power to maintain redundancy at full density. Customers
with the 1XX chassis that want full density, must upgrade to the
2000-watt power supplies (26K4816).
For 8677 BladeCenter Chassis with 1800W power supplies, 2.8GHz Low
Voltage Processor model blades are supported. When installing other 8843
HS20 models, to maintain redundancy at full density customers with the
2XX chassis must upgrade to the 2000-watt power supplies (26K4816).
Powerful blade-thin computing
The BladeCenter T chassis and BladeCenter HS20 blade servers with
low-profile handles are the key components to building your blade server
configuration for telcommunications.

BladeCenter HS20
High-performance blade-server subsystems
BladeCenter HS20 blades servers are high-throughput, two-way,
SMP-capable Xeon-based blade servers, highly scalable when you add
memory. These flip-chip, pin grid array 2 (FC-PGA2) processors feature
advanced transfer L2 caches integrated onto the processor core that runs
at the same clock speed. The advanced transfer cache is a result of a
"backside bus" 256 bits wide. It features a quad-wide cache line that
can transfer four 64-bit cache line segments at one time to deliver
full-speed capability. The cache is eight-way set associative.
One Intel Xeon processor with EM64T is standard on the blade server.
High-speed, PC2-3200 DDR2 SDRAM is synchronized for up to 400 MHz
processor-to-memory subsystem performance with current processors.
The IBM eServer BladeCenter HS20 uses the Intel Lindenhurst (E7520)
system chip set that includes:
- Memory and I/O Controller (MCH)
- Intel PXH-D
- ICH-S
The MCH includes:
- Integrated high-performance main memory subsystem
- Integrated PCI Express Interface
- Maximizes throughput between processors and main memory
The PXH includes:
- Bridges PCI Express bus to a PCI-X bus. The PXH connects to the MCH
via a PCI express (x4) bus.
- Serves as a bridge and converts transactions on the PCI express bus
to transactions on the PCI-X bus.
The ICH-S includes:
- USB interface
- Local On-Blade Service Processor interface
- PCI-X bus interface to the LSI 1020 SCSI controller and PCI bus
interface to the ATI mobility Radeon video controller
- PCI-X bus interface for video controller
- Systems management bus, supporting PHILLIPS I2C two-wire protocol
interface
- Low power controller interface for POST/BIOS EEPROM
- Dual Gigabit Ethernet connections
- One external PCI-X bus segment for daughter card connector

Systems management
IBM Director
BladeCenter HS20 blade servers include IBM Director. This powerful,
highly integrated systems management software solution is built on
industry standards and designed for ease of use.
Exploit your existing enterprise or workgroup management environments
and use rich security features to access and manage physically dispersed
IT assets more efficiently over the Internet.
It can help reduce costs through:
- Reduced downtime
- Increased productivity of IT personnel and end users
- Reduced service and support costs
IT administrators can view the hardware configuration of remote
systems in detail and monitor the usage and performance of critical
components such as processors, HDDs, and memory. IBM Director can be
extended with optional add-ons for advanced server management,
deployment, and software distribution. All of these tools smoothly
integrate into IBM Director for consistent look-and-feel and single point
of management while taking advantage of the IBM Director monitoring,
scheduling, alerting, event management, and group management
capabilities.
Optional add-ons
- The IBM Director Server Plus Pack is a collection of five tools with
predictive and autonomic capabilities that help deliver optimal server
performance and high availability. The five tools include Capacity
Manager, Software Rejuvenation, Active PCI Manager, System Availability,
and Rack Manager.
- Application Workload Manager extends IBM Director to enable the
control of how multiple applications use server resources and protects
against unexpected resource contention.
- Remote Deployment Manager (RDM) is an effective tool for the initial
deployment phase of a system's life cycle with its ability to remotely
send out complete software images for installation in a preboot
environment.
- Software Distribution Premium Edition enables you to create and
distribute software packages to systems on your network, saving travel
and labor costs.
IBM Director also enables integration into leading workgroup and
enterprise systems management environments via its Upward Integration
Modules. This enables the advanced management capabilities built into
xSeries servers to be accessed from:
- Tivoli Enterprise and Tivoli NetView
- Computer Associates CA Unicenter TNG
- HP OpenView
- Microsoft SMS
- BMC Patrol
- NetlQ
For more information about IBM Director, refer to Software
Announcement 202-246, dated September 24, 2002.
RDM for BladeCenter
BladeCenter can use RDM, which enables the configuration and
deployment of BladeCenter HS20 blade servers within a single BladeCenter.
This highly flexible and powerful tool enables you to deploy system
images that include the operating system and configuration detail to one
or more blade servers at one time from an IBM Director console on the
network.
With RDM you can:
- Add instructions for loading firmware or specific operating systems
- Deploy multiple blade servers in a BladeCenter at one time
- Store various images on the RDM server for target server
installations
- Restore initial or incremental disk image locally with a keystroke
- Drop and drag capability to deploy images
BladeCenter management module
Use the management module in the BladeCenter to manage the BladeCenter
and obtain vital system information about your installed BladeCenter HS20
servers. The management module communicates with the blade servers
within the BladeCenter via an RS-485 intermanagement network. This
network relays vital information about individual blade servers such as:
- Temperature
- Voltages
- Power supply status
- Memory status
- Fan status
- HDD status
- Error and status log
You receive status and control all blade servers within the
BladeCenter. You can shut down and restart any blade server from
anywhere on the network to help save time and costs associated with
travel to the actual installation.
These manageability functions are provided through a self-contained
Web page, creating an easy and familiar way for administrators to
monitor, control, and maintain high availability.
