22 5 System Components Figure 5-1 RH5885 V2 processor layout 5.2 Memory The RH5885 V2 uses the Intel Xeon E7-8800/4800 processors. The Intel scalable memory buffer is required between the processors and DIMMs. The buffer chip connects to a processor over the subscriber identity module (SIM) interface and connects to a rank dynamic random access memory (DRAM) device. It processes data and requests exchanged between the memory controllers and the DIMMs for memory initialization, timing adjustment, memory updating, memory scrubbing, and memory sparing, obtaining configuration information, and power management. The Intel SMI interface inherits features of the FB-DIMM design, provides higher rates, and supports the DDR3 features. The SMI interface has the following features: Supports 4.8 GT/s, 5.86 GT/s, and 6.4 GT/s. Supports forwarded clock failover over northbound (NB) and southbound (SB) interfaces. Supports nine data lanes, one CRC lane, and one spare lane SB. Supports 12 data lanes, one CRC lane, and one spare lane NB. Obtains temperature sensor information in registered dual in-line memory modules (RDIMMs) from Intel SMI status frames. The DDR3 channel has the following features: Each scalable memory buffer supports two DDR3 interfaces, and each DDR3 channel supports two RDIMMs. Each DDR3 channel supports a maximum of eight physical ranks. The buffer chip supports a maximum of 16 ranks. 22

23 5 System Components The DDR3 channel supports 800 MHz, 978 MHz, or 1066 MHz. The two DDR3 buses of a buffer chip must work at the same frequency. Different types of DIMMs can be installed together. However, the DIMMs under the same buffer must work at the same frequency and timing. There are more requirements for the DIMMs that work in LockStep mode. The DDR3 interfaces support DIMMs with different number of ranks. The rank number difference is between 0 and 2. There are more requirements for the DIMMs that work in LockStep mode. The DDR3 interface supports the parity check and error recording for the command/address bus. The RH5885 V2 uses a memory riser card for installing DIMMs that are connected to a memory controller. Each processor supports two memory riser cards. A 4-socket server supports a maximum of eight memory riser cards. Figure 5-2 shows the memory riser card layout. Figure 5-2 Memory riser card layout Figure 5-3 shows a memory riser card. 23

24 5 System Components Figure 5-3 Memory riser card Figure 5-4 shows the numbering of the DIMMs on a memory riser card. Figure 5-4 DIMM sequence on a memory riser card Indicator MB MB Connector Table 5-4 lists the DIMM models supported by the RH5885 V2. Table 5-4 DIMM models supported on the RH5885 V2 No. Description 1 DDR3 RDIMM-4 GB-2Rx8 2 Gbit- LV 1.35 V 1333-Height 30 mm 2 DDR3 RDIMM-8 GB-2Rx4 2 Gbit- LV 1.35 V 1333-Height 30 mm 3 DDR3 RDIMM-16 GB-2Rx4 4 Gbit- LV 1.35 V 1333-Height 30 mm 24

25 5 System Components If DIMMs are not correctly configured, the server may not start or unexpected errors occur. To ensure optimal system performance, observe the following rules when configuring DIMMs: All memory riser cards must have the same configuration, and at least two DIMMs are installed on each memory riser card. Processors must have the same memory configuration to provide the optimal performance. Each RH5885 V2 requires at least one memory riser card. Configure the same number of memory riser cards with the same configuration for each processor and install them in parallel. If only one memory riser card is installed for each processor, the RH5885 V2 cannot provide the nominal capacity or performance. If only one DIMM is installed for each memory channel, install the DIMM at the end of a channel, that is, slots 1, 3, 6, and 8 shown in Figure 5-4. You can use DIMMs of different capacities. However, all channels must have the same configuration. Use DIMMs of no more than two similar capacities. For example, you can use 8 GB and 16 GB DIMMs, or 4 GB and 8 GB DIMMs, but do not use 4 GB and 16 GB DIMMs at the same time. If you install DIMMs of different rates, the DIMMs operate at the minimum rate. Each processor is allocated with a maximum of two memory riser cards. The selected memory mode determines the number of channels and allowed configurations. If two memory riser cards are installed together with the same DIMMs, the system supports memory mirroring. You need to enable memory mirroring. If memory mirroring is enabled, the available memory capacity is half of the total memory capacity. Memory sparing and memory mirroring work only when the memory capacity is larger than or equal to 64 GB. 5.3 Storage The RH5885 V2 provide eight slots for installing hot-swappable hard disks, as shown in Figure 5-5. Figure 5-5 Front hard disk slots 25

26 5 System Components The RH5885 V2 also provides two rear hard disks (as shown in Figure 5-6) to meet requirements for high-capacity low-performance scenarios. The two rear hard disks support a rate of 3 Gbit/s but do not support RAID. Figure 5-6 Rear hard disk slots Table 5-5 lists the hard disk models supported by the RH5885 V2.
