Modern processors are capable of tremendous workloads, and many types of utilization patterns
such as virtualization often run into memory capacity issues well before the processors reach a
saturation point. FlexMem Bridge technology was designed to assist in environments with memory
intensive workloads.
To scale for future workloads in which additional processing power is needed, simply replace the
FlexMem Bridge with additional processors to meet those needs.
Due to power limitations, the PowerEdge M910 only supports two 130W processors. In an upgrade
for a server with two 130W processors, the processors and the heat sink must be changed to the
95W or 105W processors. If the server has only the 95W or 105W processors, processors can be
swapped.
