Description

With the power of third-generation Enterprise X-Architecture**, the x460 establishes a new standard in the market for modular XpandOnDemand scalability from with: Increased performance Memory availability System manageability Simultaneous support for 32-bit and 64-bit applications with x86-64-bit extensions The xSeries MXE-460 server is functionally identical to the xSeries 460 server and supports the same hardware configurations, however it is supported only as an expansion module to a base xSeries 460 and not in a stand-alone configuration. It comes configured with two empty 4-slot Memory Expansion Cards (13M7409) and two power supplies as standard, but without any processors, memory, disks or optical drive. A customer can configure the MXE-460 with the necessary processors and memory and then interconnect with the xSeries 460 server to create multinode configurations that consist of two, four, or eight nodes for up to 32-way operation. In addition to processors and memory, the 6 disk bays and 6 PCI-X I/O card slots in each chassis are accessible, allowing a customer to add up to a total of 48 hard disks and 48 I/O slots into a 32-way configuration, eliminating the need for an external I/O expansion enclosure. Priced lower than the xSeries 460 server, the MXE-460 allows economical expansion of a base 460 from 2 chassis to 8 chassis for scalability all the way to 32-way.

All measurements made in accordance with ISO 7779 and reported in conformance with ISO 9296. xSeries 460 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: Multiprocessor Specification (MPS) 1.4. Hardware-enabled to meet ISO 9241, Part 3. In addition to the above standards, they are compatible with the PCI-X specification 2.0. Equipment approvals and safety FCC - Verified to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules, Class A Canada ICES-003, issue 4, Class A IEC/UL 60950-1, 1st Edition CAN/CSA - C22.2 No. 60950-1-03 NOM-019 (10) Note: (10) 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 Memory The xSeries 460 servers are shipped with 2 GB (2x1GB) of memory. A maximum of up to 64 GB of system memory is supported (when 4GB DIMMs become available) by adding two additional memory expansion card options and a 4 GB PC2-3200 ECC DDR-2 SDRAM RDIMM in each of the 4 DIMM sockets. All supported system memory is addressable through direct memory access (DMA). This server supports 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB 1.8V, 240-pin, 8-byte RDIMMs. 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. The xSeries 460 supports up to 6 HDDs which limits the ServeRAID 8i SAS Controller to reach RAID configurations of RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 6, 50, 1E, and 5EE, but not RAID 60. ServerGuide Use the version of ServerGuide that is shipped with the system, or a later version, to load software and drivers. Earlier versions of ServerGuide may not be compatible with the server. For the 2-way, 4-way and 8-way configurations, ServerGuide can: Setup and configure the system Setup and configure any ServeRAID adapters as well as the onboard SAS chipset Help the user do an unattended install of Windows 2003 with SP1 integrated CD (32 bit only) For the 16-way, and 32-way configurations, ServerGuide can: Setup and configure the system Setup and configure any ServeRAID adapters as well as the onboard SAS chipset Serverguide cannot help the user with any unattended Windows installs (32 bit) Hot-swap Limitations PCI hot-plug is not supported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. PCI hot-plug support is limited in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, and Novell NetWare 6.5. For Linux, multi-function adapters (those that use PCI bridges) are currently not supported. For Netware, only hot-replace of adapters is supported. Refer to the Software Requirements section for operating system limitations. Export Limitations U.S. Law controls export of High Performance Computers (HPC) exceeding 190K Composite Theoretical Performance (CTP). CTP calculations are performed using a modified formula and stated in Millions of Theoretical Operations Per Second (MTOPS) resulting from CoCom negotiations on December 21, 1993, and published in U.S. Dept. of Commerce Export Administration Regulations 15 CFR 774 (Advisory Note 4 for Category 4). Due to the extreme power of the xSeries 460 scalable server, all scale-up high-performance SMP configurations composed of more than 4 combined chassis of x460 and MXE-460 (above 16-way) will exceed the U.S. Government mandated 190k CTP threshold and will require a U.S. export license. The scalable system partition's setup menu will prevent such configurations from being created. If a high performance SMP configuration beyond a 16-way is desired, the customer and the IBM salesperson or IBM Business partner will need to work closely with the IBM Export Regulation Office (ERO) to initiate the licensing process and acquire the documentation and approvals necessary for IBM to be able to ship the system to the intended customer. Be aware that this process can be quite lengthy, lasting up to 6 months, and should be initiated very early in the procurement cycle. Once the required approvals have been obtained, the customer will be provided with additional code that will augment the scalable system partition setup menu such that configurations beyond 16-way or 4 chassis) will now be allowed.
