1.2 Extensions and Conversions
Second Processor
If only one processor is installed in your server blade, you can upgrade it to
include a second one. You may only use processors of the same type in the
server blade. The second processor must have the same clock frequency as the
first.
Extension of the Main Memory
The main memory sockets are suitable for "Fully Buffered DIMM" (FBD) 533-
MHz memory modules. Memory modules must be installed in pairs. The two
memory modules of one bank must always have the same capacity.
Optional I/O Modules
The server blade has one slot for an extension board (daughter card) which can
be used to provide two Fibre Channel (FC) connections or two additional
Ethernet connections. The following I/O modules are available:
– 2 Gbit Fibre Channel daughter card (PCI-X)
– 4 Gbit Fibre Channel daughter card (PCIe)
– 1 Gbit Ethernet daughter card (PCIe)
– 10 Gbit Ethernet daughter card (PCIe)
To be able to use the additional I/O functionality, at least one Fibre Channel or
Ethernet I/O blade must be installed in the NET3 and/or NET4 slots of the
BX600 basic unit. For further information on I/O blades, see the operating
manual for your BX600 basic unit (see "Related publications" on page 59).
Storage Modules
The hard disks are controlled by a storage module (controller) that can be
plugged into the motherboard and which may also have additional functions.
SATA only offers one storage module variant, while SAS offers a total of four
different variants: SAS, SAS/RAID, SAS/PCI-X and SAS/PCIe. The two PCI
variants allow the installation of low-profile PCI modules.
Storage modules can be installed/replaced via the front of the server blade
without having to take off the housing cover. However, they cannot be replaced
while the system is running (non-hot-plug) - the server blade must be switched
off.
