Oracle X5-4 Server Feature Overview

Language:

The Sun Server X5-4 is a 3RU rack-mount server system that features an Intel Xeon ® processor in either a two or four processor configuration. The system memory is contained on memory riser (MR) cards, each with the capacity for up to 12 low-voltage DDR3 DIMMs. The server can support up to eight MR cards (in a four-CPU system). The server has two redundant hot-plug capable power supplies and slot capability for up to 11 PCI-Express Gen 3 low-profile cards. An internal HBA card provides connectivity to the six SAS-3 drive slots supporting three storage drive technologies.

Server Features and Components

This section describes the server features and supported components.

Component	Oracle Server X5-4
Processor (CPU)	Supported model: Intel Xeon® E7-8895 v3 processor 18-core 2.6 GHz processor with 3RU heat sink Supported configurations: Two processors installed in sockets 0 and 1. Four processors installed in sockets 0 through 3.
Memory	Up to eight memory riser cards are supported (two risers per CPU) in the server chassis. Each memory riser supports up to 12 DDR3-1600 ECC low-voltage registered or load-reduced DIMMs, allowing up to 24 DIMMs per processor. Installed DIMMs must be the same type and size. In a two CPU system, you can install four memory riser cards and up to a maximum of 1.5 TB of system memory. In a four CPU system, you can install eight memory riser cards and up to a maximum of 3 TB of system memory. Refer to the Service Manual for DIMM population rules and supported configurations.
Storage devices	For internal storage, the server chassis provides: Six 2.5-inch drive bays, accessible at the front of the server. Supported storage drive technologies include: Note - For a list of supported drives, refer to: Oracle Server X5-4 Product Notes SAS-3 HDD SAS-3 SSD PCIe Gen 3 NVMe SAS-3 HBA PCIe card options: Sun Storage 12 Gb SAS PCIe RAID HBA. Supports RAID levels : 0, 1, 1E, 10, 5, 5EE, 6 with Battery Backed Write Cache (BBWC). PCIe SWITCH CARD. Required for NVMe technology. An optional DVD+/-RW drive on the front of the server, below the drive bays. This SATA DVD drive connects to a USB-SATA bridge, so that the drive appears to the system as a USB storage device.
USB 2.0 ports (6)	Two ports on the front of the server Two ports on the back of the server Two interanl ports on the motherboard Note - One of the internal USB port (P0) might contain the optional factory-installed Oracle System Assistant flash drive—a dedicated boot device used to set up the server. The Oracle System Assistant USB flash drive is not a storage drive. It must contain only files specific to Oracle System Assistant.
VGA ports	Two high-density DB-15 video ports are available: one on the front of the system and one on the back. The server includes an embedded VGA 2D graphics controller (with 8 MB cache), which supports resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 x 16bits @ 60 Hz (1024 x 768) when viewed remotely using Oracle ILOM Remote Console Plus RKVMS. Note - The VGA port available on the back panel supports VESA Device Data Channel for monitor identification.
PCI Express 3.0 I/O slots	Eleven PCI Express 3.0 slots that accommodate low-profile PCIe cards. In configurations that include a SAS HBA card, the HBA card is installed in slot 2. All slots support x8 PCIe connections. Two slots are also capable of supporting x16 PCIe cards. Slots 1 through 7, 9, and 10: x8 connector Slots 8 and 11: x8 or x16 connector Note - PCIe slots 7 through 11 are only functional in four CPU systems.
PCI Express I/O cards	For a list of customer-orderable I/O cards, go to the Oracle x86 Servers web site and navigate to the Oracle Server X5-4 configuration support page: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/oracle-x86/overview/index.html
Ethernet ports	Four 10 GbE RJ-45 Ethernet ports on back panel.
Service processor	Emulex Pilot 3 baseboard management controller (BMC): Mounted on a daughterboard. Supports industry-standard IPMI feature set. Supports remote KVMS, USB, DVD, CD, floppy, and ISO image over IP. Supports Ethernet access to SP through a dedicated RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) management port and optionally through one of the host 10 GbE ports (sideband management).
Power supplies	Two 1030/2060 Watt AC input auto-ranging hot-swappable power supplies. Note - A two-CPU system can operate with low-line 100 - 127 VAC or high-line 200 - 240 VAC sources. A four-CPU system can only operate with high-line 200 - 240 VAC sources.
Cooling fans	Six hot-swappable, redundant, front-side, top-loading fans (cooling zones 0-2) and two redundant fans in each power supply (cooling zone 3).
Server management software	The following server management software options are available: Single-server management options: Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) on the service processor. Oracle System Assistant (OSA) on an optional internal USB flash drive. Oracle Hardware Management Pack on the optional OSA internal USB flash drive. Multiple server option: Oracle Enterprise Management Ops Center, downloadable from the Oracle site.
