3 Planned availability date February 24, 2011 Description BladeCenter HS22 High-performance, blade server subsystem The BladeCenter HS22 low-voltage blade servers are high-throughput, two-way, SMP-capable blade servers, and are highly scalable when you add memory. The BladeCenter HS22 can have up to two Intel Xeon processors. The processor board has the following major components: Two Socket B (LGA 1366) sockets for two Intel Xeon processors (one or two processors may be shipped standard). Two Enterprise Voltage Regulator-Down (EVRD) regulators. The EVRD supplies both the processor core voltage and L2 cache voltage and must adhere to the Intel Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) and EVRD 11.0 Specification. One Intel I/O Hub (IOH): Host Bridge controller with PCI Express interface. Twelve DDR3 VLP DIMM memory sockets. One Intel South Bridge (ICH10). One Broadcom BCM5709S Gigabit Ethernet Controller. One LSI 1064E SAS Controller. Two SAS connectors for two 2.5-inch SAS hard drives. 16 MB system uefi BIOS ROM. One Maxim VSC452 Super Baseboard Management Controller with Integrated VGA Controller. Two HDM midplane connectors. One blade expansion connector. One CIOv daughter card connector. One TPM 1.2 chip. One internal USB connector for bootable Flash key. The Intel IOH provides the interface between the processors, and PCI Express buses that interface to the ICH10, the high-speed daughter card connector, and the blade IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 3

4 expansion connector. The HS22 server uses the following features provided by the IOH: Dual independent processor Intel QuickPath Interconnect (Intel QPI) links (one processor per link) One x4 ESI bus to interface to the ICH10 One x4 PCI Express bus to connect to the Broadcom Ethernet 5709S Controller Eight x4 PCI Express buses: one to the LSI 1064E SAS Controller, four to the Blade Expansion connector, and two to the CIOv daughter card connector The Intel I/O Controller Hub 10 (ICH10) contains the following features: Interface to the IOH via the x4 ESI bus PCI-Express 1.0 compliance USB host interface with support for USB 2.0 Low Pin Count (LPC) interface On the HS22, the ICH10 uses the x4 PCI Express bus and the LPC bus to interface with the Maxim VSC452 IMM. The USB buses are used to interface with the USB key, the MM for keyboard and mouse, and a Cypress USB hub that provides KVM USB and media tray support. The HS22 server memory is contiguous and is shared by both processors when both processors are installed. It is Error Correction Code (ECC) protected and supports up to 192 GB using 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, or 16 GB VLP DDR3 DIMMs on 12 DIMM connectors. The processors have integrated DDR3 memory controllers and interface directly to their six associated DDR3 DIMMs. For each CPU, a minimum of one DIMM must be installed. Additional DIMMs may be installed one at a time as needed. The HS22 supports both the Intel Xeon 5500 and 5600 Series Processors. For these processors, memory speed is a specific attribute of the processor. The system memory speed (that is, the speed at which the memory is actually running) depends on several factors including: CPU capability DIMM types used (memory speed,, Single Rank/Dual Rank) Number of DIMMs populated per channel For the Intel Xeon 5600 Series Processors with Single Rank/Dual Rank DIMMs: Support is provided for both the 1.5V and the new 1.35V Low Voltage s When 1333 MHz s are installed with an Intel Xeon Processor that supports 1333 MHz memory speed: If there is one or two 1.5V s installed per memory channel, the DDR3 speed is 1333 MHz. When 1333 MHz s are installed with an Intel Xeon Processor that supports 1066 MHz memory speed: If there is one or two s installed per memory channel, the DDR3 speed is 1066 MHz. When 1333 MHz s are installed with an Intel Xeon Processor that supports 800 MHz memory speed: For all s installed, DDR3 speed is 800 MHz. With 1.35V DIMMs: If there is one 1.35V 1333 MHz installed per memory channel, the DDR3 speed is 1333 MHz. If two 1333 MHz s are installed, the DDR3 memory speed is 1066 MHz. The Intel Xeon 5600 Processors support 1.35V DIMMs up to two DIMMs per channel. If 1.35V and 1.5V are mixed, the DIMMs will run at 1.5V.

Optional add-ons (available for an additional charge) Active Energy Manager (AEM) is positioned as a key component of the energyefficient technologies and services of IBM, which are part of the IBM Project Green initiative that began May AEM measures, monitors, and manages the energy management components built into IBM servers and provides a cross-platform management solution. AEM also retrieves temperature and power information via wireless sensors and collects alerts, events, and data from certain facility providers related to power and cooling equipment. BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager is designed to help you manage growth and complexity by making it easy to manage I/O and network interconnects for up to 100 BladeCenter chassis - up to 1,400 blade servers. BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager helps make blade deployment easy: once installed, the utility is resident in the Advanced Management Module (AMM) so you can preconfigure LAN and SAN connections. Thus, I/O connections are made automatically when you plug in a blade. And no special tools or training is required; just manage with the easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI).
