High-Performance Server Subsystems
xSeries 445 With RSAII-EXA servers are high-throughput, highly
scalable, 16-way SMP-capable Xeon MP-based network servers. The BX and
2X models are equipped with powerful 2.2, 2.7, or 3.0 GHz Xeon MP
processors that contain either 2 MB or 4 MB ECC L3 caches. The 3EX and
4EX 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 With RSAII-EXA 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 BX and 2X models
- Xeon DP processors in the EX 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 4
chassis in 16-way configurations.
xSeries 445 With RSAII-EXA 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 II 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

xSeries 445 With RSAII-EXA 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 With RSAII-EXA 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.
- 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)
- Standard xSeries 445 With RSAII-EXA 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 With RSAII-EXA 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 With RSAII-EXA 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 With
RSAII-EXA 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 1200-watt power supplies standard with xSeries 445 With
RSAII-EXA produce the full 1200 watt power rating when connected to 220 V
ac power sources. When connected to 110 V ac, they produce 600 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 With
RSAII-EXA server should be connected to 220-watt power sources.
The processor upgrades 2.2GHz/2MB (13N0723), 2.7GHz/2MB (13N0722) and
the 3.0GHz/4MB (13N0721) are NOT supported on the models listed below:
- 8870-1RX
- 8870-2RX
- 8870-4RX
- 8870-3RY
- 8870-4RY
- 8870-1AX
- 8870-2AX
- 8870-4AX
For attended installation of an operating system, this server requires
a compatible:
