4.1 Overview

The IBM NeXtScale nx360 M4 compute node contains only the essential
components in the base architecture to provide a cost-optimized platform. The
nx360 M4 compute node provides a dense, flexible solution with a low total cost
of ownership.
Figure 4-1 IBM NeXtScale nx360 M4 compute node
The nx360 M4 compute nodes fit into the IBM NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure that
provides common power and cooling resources. As shown in Figure 4-1, the
nx360 M4 compute node can support the following components:
One or two Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 series processors.
Up to eight DIMMs of registered DDR3 ECC memory and operating up to
1866 MHz, which provides a total memory capacity of up to 128 GB.
One on-board 1 Gb Ethernet port and one on-board 1 Gb
Ethernet/management port.
