High-Performance Server Subsystems

xSeries 445 servers are high-throughput, highly scalable, 16-way SMP-capable Xeon MP-based network servers. The AX and RX models are equipped with powerful 2.0, 2.5, or 2.8 GHz Xeon MP processors that contain either 1 MB or 2 MB ECC L3 caches. The 3RY and 4RY models are equipped with powerful 3.0 GHz Xeon DP processors that contain ECC 512 KB L2 caches. High-speed, PC2100 DDR ECC SDRAM provides excellent processor-to-memory subsystem performance.

The xSeries 445 system architecture is tuned and engineered with the IBM XA-32 second-generation chipset to optimize throughput between the powerful Xeon and Xeon MP processors, the XceL4 Server Accelerator Cache, and other components of the server. The architecture consists of the following components:

  • Xeon MP processors in the AX and RX models
  • Xeon DP processors in the 3RY and 4RY models
  • XceL4 Server Accelerator Cache
  • Up to two SMP expansion modules (one or two standard)
  • Two PCI-X host-bridge controllers

These next-generation Xeon and Xeon MP processors use 100 MHz common clock speed for external operations. Source synchronous strobes of 200 and 400 MHz are used to support 200 MHz (double-pumped) address and 400 MHz (quad-pumped) data buses to the memory controller. This allows up to 6.4 GB/s data transfers between memory and the processors.

Each SMP expansion module contains:

  • Four processor connectors for Xeon MP

  • 64 MB of XceL4 Server Accelerator Cache

  • Sixteen memory slots, supporting up to 32 GB of ECC DDR SDRAM

  • Memory controller that supports:

    • Data flow between the processor, XceL4 system cache, and memory, and to the two PCI-X host-bridge controllers

    • High-speed port to exploit external PCI-X expansion, connecting an optional RXE-100 Remote Expansion Enclosure

    • Chipkill ECC memory function

The 16 PC2100 DDR SDRAM memory sockets, synchronized to the 100 MHz processor speed, support up to 32 GB of system memory on each SMP expansion module (using the 2 GB DDR DIMM) for a total of 64 GB system memory per chassis. The memory is two-way interleaved (memory installed in pairs) with two ports to the memory controller supporting up to 6.4 GB/s data transfers.

Note: The x445 server supports a maximum of 64 GB of addressable system memory. This can be up to 128 GB of physical memory in mirrored configurations. The total 64 GB addressable limit may span up to 2 chassis in 16-way configurations.

xSeries 445 has two PCI-X host-bridge controllers that reside between the PCI buses and the memory controller or controllers, depending on the configuration. These host-bridge controllers support six PCI buses. Two buses are for integrated functions and four buses are dedicated to the six 64-bit PCI-X expansion slots.

Buses that support integrated functions include:

  • Bus F supports 66 MHz, 64-bit PCI-X controllers:
    • LSI Logic Dual Ultra320 SCSI with integrated RAID-1
    • Broadcom dual port 5704 10/100/1000 Ethernet

  • Bus E supports:
    • Remote Supervisor Adapter installed in dedicated slot
    • SVGA (ATI Rage XL, 8 MB), EIDE, and super I/O controllers

The four 64-bit, PCI-X buses support the following 64-bit, PCI-X slots:

  • Bus D: one 133 MHz PCI-X adapter
  • Bus C: one 133 MHz PCI-X adapter
  • Bus B: two 100 MHz PCI-X adapters
  • Bus A: two 66 MHz PCI-X adapters

High-Availability and Serviceability Features

Many enterprise e-business environments run around the clock, supporting the need for continual access to information around the globe. These environments require servers that are ruggedly dependable and designed with features that can tolerate a component failure without total shutdown. xSeries 445 servers pack numerous fault-tolerant and high-availability features into a high-density, rack-optimized package that significantly reduces the space needed to support massive network computing operations.

xSeries 445 servers are intended for use as rack-drawer servers and are tested and designed to operate in a horizontal position.

Standards

These systems support or comply with the following standards:

  • Multi Processor Specification (MPS) 2.0.

  • Hardware-enabled to meet the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9241, Part 3.

The xSeries 445 server is designed to the Peripheral Component Interconnect-X (PCI-X) specification 1.0A.

Equipment Approvals and Safety

  • FCC - Verified to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules, Class A
  • Canada ICES-003, issue 3, Class A
  • UL 1950(1)
  • CSA C22.2 No. 950
  • NOM-019(1)

Note: (1) This server is certified by the respective UL and NOM agencies.

Operating Environment

  • Temperature:
    • 10.0 to 35.0 degrees C (50 to 95 degrees F) at 0 to 914 m (0 to 3,000 ft)
    • 10.0 to 32.0 degrees C (50 to 90 degrees F) at 914 to 2,133 m (3,000 to 7,000 ft)

  • Relative humidity: 8% to 80%

  • Maximum altitude: 2,133 m (7,000 ft)

Limitations

  • Standard xSeries 445 models contain two or four processors. SMP upgrades must be performed as follows:

    • Processors must be of the same type and clock speed. Mixing processors of different speeds or cache sizes is not supported

    • From two-way to four-way, upgrades to three-way are not supported at this time.

    • The standard SMP expansion module must be fully populated with four processors prior to installing either a xSeries 445 SMP Expansion Module or an xSeries 445 SMP Expansion Module with four Xeon MP processor options

  • The xSeries 445 servers contain a standard SMP expansion module with 16 DIMM sockets. A maximum of 32 GB of system memory per SMP expansion module is supported by adding a 2 GB PC2100 DDR ECC SDRAM RDIMM in each of the 16 DIMM sockets. An optional xSeries 445 SMP Expansion Module can be installed to support additional processors and another 16 DIMM sockets for a total system memory capacity of 64 GB. All supported system memory is addressable through direct memory access.

  • The xSeries 445 uses 72-bit Dual Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM Registered Dual In-line Memory Modules (RDIMMs) in sizes ranging from 512 MB to 2 GB. The system is shipped with 2 GB and can be expanded to 32 GB per SMP Expansion module using 16 x 2 GB DIMMs. xSeries 445 memory is two-way interleaved, DIMMs must be added two at a time. Each group of two DIMMs must be the same memory size. Different groups can be 512 MB, 1 GB, or 2 GB DIMMs. Supported RDIMMs can coexist in the same server; however, due to two-way interleaving, memory RDIMMs of the same capacity must be installed in matched sets of two. Refer to the xSeries server Web page for memory options.

  • The two 1050-watt power supplies standard with xSeries 445 produce the full 1050 watt power rating when connected to 220 V ac power sources. When connected to 110 V ac, they produce 550 watts of power for system use. This power may be insufficient to provide n+n redundancy in full configurations. For this reason, the xSeries 445 server should be connected to 220-watt power sources.

Refer to the Software Requirements section for operating system limitations.
