The x240 M5 Compute Node is supported in the Flex System chassis as listed in the following table.
Table 4. Chassis support
Chassis models
8721-HC1 based:
8721-A1x, LRx, DCx
8721-K1G, E1Y, E2Y
8721-HC2 based:
8721-ALx, DLx
8721-E3Y, E4Y
Up to 14 x240 M5 Compute Nodes can be installed in the chassis; however, the actual number that can
be installed in a chassis depends on the following factors:
TDP power rating for the processors that are installed in the x240 M5
Number of power supplies that are installed in the chassis
Capacity of the installed power supplies (2100 W or 2500 W)
Chassis power redundancy policy that is used (N+1 or N+N)
The following table provides guidelines about what number of x240 M5 Compute Nodes can be installed.
For more information, use the Power Configurator, which is found at the following website:
http://ibm.com/systems/bladecenter/resources/powerconfig.html
The following color coding was used In the table:
Green = No restriction on the number of x240 M5 Compute Nodes that can be installed
Yellow = Some bays must be left empty in the chassis
