AMD Opteron LS20 for IBM eServer BladeCenter
High-Performance Blade-Server Subsystems
The LS20 for IBM eServer BladeCenter blades servers are
high-throughput, two-socket, SMP-capable, AMD Opteron-based blade
servers, highly scalable when you add memory. AMD Opteron processor
cores support a 64KB two-way set associative L1 Instruction Cache and
a 64KB two-way set associative L1 Data Cache. In addition, each core
supports a 1MB L2 Cache that is 16-way set associative for both
instruction and data and that is per core so on a Dual core each
processing core contains an independent set of L1 and L2 caches.
The processors that are used in these LS20 blades are low power, full
performance Opteron processors. The standard AMD Opteron processors
available at these speeds draw a maximum of 95W. These specially
manufactured processors operate at 68W or less without any performance
trade-offs. This savings in power at the processor level combined with
the smarter power solution that BladeCenter delivers make these blades
very attractive to customers dealing with limited power and cooling
resources.
One AMD Opteron processor with 64-bit capability is standard on the
blade server. High-speed, PC-3200 DDR1 SDRAM is synchronized for up to
400 MHz processor-to-memory subsystem performance.

High density
Using the 8677 BladeCenter Chassis up to fourteen AMD Opteron
LS20 for IBM eServer BladeCenter blade servers can be installed in a new
IBM eServer BladeCenter chassis (8677-3XX). Also, they can be installed
in an existing BladeCenter chassis (8677-1XX or 8677-2XX) at full density
after an upgrade with the new 2,000-watt power supply option (26K4816).
Power considerations
The 8677 BladeCenter Chassis with 1,200-, 1,400-, or 1,800-watt power
supply does not provide enough power to maintain redundancy at full
density. Customers with the 8677-1XX and 2XX chassis who want full
density must upgrade to the 2,000-watt power supplies (26K4816).
Using the 8720 or 8730 BladeCenter T Chassis
IBM supports the installation of up to eight AMD Opteron LS20 blades
in the BladeCenterT chassis with the latest management module firmware
which includes Fuel Gauge. This feature allows for power throttling to
occur in the unlikely event of a power supply failure. The fuel gauge
feature will reduce power consumption per blade during a power
crisis-keeping all eight blades installed in the chassis up and
running but at a possibly lower performance level. Users that are not
willing to accept any power/performance throttling should limit the
number of blades they install in a BCT to seven blades. At this power
requirement the LS20 will not require any throttling in the BCT
environment.

- The AMD Opteron LS20 for IBM eServer BladeCenter blades contain four
DIMM sockets. A maximum of 8 GB of system memory is supported by using 2
GB DIMMs of PC-3200 CL3 ECC DDR1 memory in each of the 4 DIMM sockets.
All supported system memory is addressable through direct memory access.
The AMD Opteron LS20 for IBM eServer BladeCenter supports currently
available 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DIMMs. Supported DIMMs can coexist in
the same server; however, memory DIMMs of the same capacity must be
installed in matched pairs. Refer to the xSeries server Web page memory
options.
- Microprocessors must be of the same type and clock speed on each AMD
Opteron LS20 for IBM eServer BladeCenter. Mixing microprocessors of
different speeds or cache size or upgrading the base processors is not
supported.
- IBM supports the installation of eight AMD Opteron LS20 blades in the
BladeCenterT chassis with the latest management module firmware which
includes Fuel Gauge. This feature allows for power throttling to occur
in the unlikely event of a power supply failure. The fuel gauge feature
will reduce power consumption per blade during a power crisis-keeping all
eight blades installed in the chassis up and running but a possibly lower
performance level. Users that are not willing to accept any
power/performance throttling should limit the number of blades they
install in a BCT to seven blades. At this power requirement LS20 never
will require any throttling in the BCT environment.
Refer to the Software requirements section for operating
system limitations.
For attended installation of an operating system, this server requires
a compatible:
Unattended or remote installation may be performed without requiring
some or all of these components. Review your unattended software
installation program information for specific hardware configuration
requirements.
For service, the server requires a compatible:
When having the unit serviced, plan to have these components attached
to your server either directly or indirectly via a console switch.
