  AMD Opteron LS21 for IBM BladeCenter  

AMD Opteron LS21 for IBM BladeCenter

Today's data center environment is tougher than ever. Customers are looking to reduce IT cost, complexity, space requirements, power consumption and heat output, while increasing flexibility, utilization and manageability. The AMD Opteron LS21 for IBM® BladeCenter® blade server, combined with the various BladeCenter chassis, can help them accomplish all of these goals. The LS21 is a 30mm blade, capable of supporting up to two processors, 32GB of PC2-4200 (533MHz) or 16GB of PC2-5300 (667MHz) ECC memory (in 8 DIMM slots) with optional Chipkill™1 protection, for high performance and reliability, and one fixed SAS HDD. The LS21blade server supports up to two of the latest dual-core AMD Opteron processors. The processors are designed with 2MB of L2 cache (1MB per core), 64-bit extensions and HyperTransport technology, to help provide customers with the computing power they require to match their business needs and growth.

Versions of the LS21 that use the 95W processors are designed for use in the BladeCenter H chassis. Due to increased power and thermal needs, these 95W versions will run at 'n-2' processor speed in the BladeCenter and BladeCenter T chassis. In most cases this represents a speed reduction of 400 MHz

 


 Processor upgrades
The LS21 supports up to two identical Opteron processors (that is, the same clock rate and cache size and the same number of cores). The choice of processors includes:
• 68W low-power Series  dual-core Opteron processor with 64-bit extensions, 2MB of L2 processor cache (1MB per core), integrated memory controller, HyperTransport technology and Direct Connect Architecture
• 95W Series  dual-core Opteron processor with 64-bit extensions, 2MB of L2 processor cache (1MB per core), integrated memory controller, HyperTransport technology and Direct Connect Architecture

Note: If one processor is installed, it must be plugged into CPU 1 socket. The system will not be allowed to boot if the CPU 1 socket is not populated. CPU 2 socket must contain a heatsink filler in order to maintain proper airflow. If multiple processors are installed, they must have the same set of features and functions. Mixing of processors that have different values for their respective features is not allowed. Note: Two different processor wattage options are offered in the LS21:  a 95W version and a High Efficiency 68W version. Versions of the LS21 that use the 95W processors are designed for use in the BladeCenter H chassis. Due to increased power and thermal needs, these 95W versions will run at 'n-2' processor speed in the BladeCenter and BladeCenter T chassis. In most cases this represents a speed reduction of 400 MHz. The versions of theLS41 that use the High Efficiency 68W processors will run at full speed in all chassis.

 HS21 Memory Options
The LS21 ships with PC2-5300 double data rate II (DDR2) dual-interleaved memory DIMMs operating at 667MHz for fast access. It supports up to 16GB of PC2-5300 memory in 8 DIMM slots, using industry-standard ECC (Error Checking and Correcting) registered DIMMs. For even higher memory capacity, the LS21 also supports PC2-4200 (533MHz) DDR2 memory, up to 32GB (in 8 DIMM slots). It supports Chipkill ECC technology (using 1GB or larger DIMMs), for up to 16X better error correction than standard ECC memory.

 Internal Hard-Drive Options

Note: The Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) subsystem in the LS21 consists of the LSI 1064 SAS controller and one onboard SFF SAS hard drive.
The LS21 offers a choice of disk storage, supporting up to one 2.5-inch internal fixed SAS or solid state drive, as well as an expansion unit that offers additional direct-attached storage. • 10/15K RPM 2.5-inch — 146 or 73.4GB capacities.  If this is not enough internal storage, an optional "sidecar" storage blade is available. The Storage and I/O Expansion Unit is a 30mm blade that supports up to three 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS HDDs. It is installed in the slot adjacent to an LS21 blade server.. This storage can be configured as a single RAID-1 or RAID-5 array, or as two separate RAID arrays—one in the expansion unit and the other in the base blade—for even more flexibility. If the customer needs more storage space, terabyte capacities are possible with optional external iSCSI and SAN storage solutions.

 Blade Server Expansion Cards 
The LS21 blade server includes one x8 PCI-E and one 133MHz PCI-X adapter slot on each blade. Either one legacy PCI-X expansion card or one SFF (small form factor) PCI-X or PCI-E adapter can be installed in this blade (one card total). One of two possible expansion units may be added to increase the number of expansion card slots available. Each will utilize the PCI-E slot in the LS21:
ʉۢ The 30mm PCI I/O Expansion Unit II provides two PCI-X slots in addition to the slot on the LS21 blade (three slots usable).

• The 30mm Storage and I/O Expansion Unit provides two adapter slots: either two PCI-X cards or one PCI-X and one PCI-E slot in addition to the slot on the LS21 blade (three slots
