Table 1. Features and specifications
Microprocessor: Up to 2 multi-core
IntelXeon processors.
Note: Use the Setup utility to
determine the type and speed of the
microprocessors in the blade server.
Memory:
• 16 dual inline memory module
(DIMM) connectors
• Type: Very Low Profile (VLP)
double-data rate (DDR3) DRAM.
Supports 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16
GB, and 32 GB DIMMs with up to
512 GB of total memory on the
system board
If two BladeCenter HX5 blade servers
are assembled into a scalable blade
complex, up to 1 TB is available to
the scalable blade complex.
If the IBM MAX5 is installed:
• Supports up to 40 dual inline
memory module (DIMM)
connectors for up to 1.25 TB of
total memory.
Note: The BladeCenter HX5 blade
server supports memory sparing.

• Particulate contamination
Attention: Airborne particulates and
reactive gases acting alone or in
combination with other
environmental factors such as
humidity or temperature might pose
a risk to the server. For information
about the limits for particulates and
gases, see "Particulate
contamination" on page 120.
