Processor
One or two processors with four integrated DDR4 memory controllers per processor. Processors with the following capabilities are supported:

  • 18-core, 2.3 GHz, 145W processors

  • 12-core, 2.6 GHz, 135W processors

  • 10-core, 2.6 GHz, 105W processors

  • 8-core, 2.4 GHz, 85W processors

For the latest information on CPU specifications, go to the Oracle x86 servers web site and navigate to the Oracle Server X5-2 page: https://www.oracle.com/servers/technologies/x86-servers.html
Memory
Up to 12 DIMMs per processor for a maximum of 24 DDR4 DIMMs and a maximum of 768 GB of memory are supported in dual-processor systems.
A maximum of 12 DDR4 DIMMs and a maximum of 384-GB of memory are supported in single-processor systems.
RDIMMs (8 GB and 16 GB) and LRDIMMs (32 GB) are supported.
Storage devices
The storage drive configuration can comprise both hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid state drives (SSDs). The configuration includes:

  • Up to eight 2.5-inch hot-pluggable SAS HDDs or SSDs with an optional SATA DVD

Note -  NVM-Express SSDs are only supported on servers running Oracle Linux or Oracle Solaris operating systems.

Note -  The NVM-Express PCIe switch card is required for storage drive configurations that contain NVM-Express SSDs.

PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 I/O slots
Three PCIe Gen3 slots that accommodate low-profile PCIe cards.

  • Slots 1 and 2: x16 electrical interface

  • Slot 3: x8 electrical interface

Note -  PCIe slot 1 is nonfunctional in single-processor systems.

Internal HBA
One dedicated PCIe Gen3 slot for use with an optional internal-only host bus adapter (HBA) card. This internal HBA is used to control and manage the storage drives.
Ethernet ports
Up to four 10GBASE-T RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports on the rear panel.

Note -  Ethernet ports NET 2 and NET 3 are nonfunctional in single-processor systems.

USB 2.0 ports
Two front, two rear, and two internal.

Note -  One of the internal USB ports might be preinstalled with a USB drive containing the Oracle System Assistant. For more information, see Setting Up Software and Firmware Using Oracle System Assistant.

Video (VGA) ports
One rear high-density DB-15 video port.
Service processor (SP)
The server has an integrated service processor (SP). The SP provides IPMI 2.0-compliant remote management capabilities. The SP features:

  • Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) version 3.2.4 (initial version)

  • Local Oracle ILOM command-line access using a serial connection

  • Support for Ethernet access to the SP through a dedicated, 10/100/1000BASE-T management port (NET MGT) and optionally through one of the host Ethernet ports (sideband management)

  • Support for remote KVMS (keyboard, video, mouse, and storage) over IP
Management Software

  • Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) on the service processor

  • Oracle System Assistant on an optional internal USB flash drive

  • Oracle Hardware Management Pack, downloadable from the Oracle site
Power supplies
Two hot-swappable and highly-redundant 600W power supplies.
Cooling fans
Four 40-mm, hot-swappable fan modules for chassis cooling. Each fan module contains two counter-rotating fan pairs (four rotors total).
Each power supply has its own cooling fans.
Operating systems and virtualization software

  • Oracle Solaris (preinstall option)

  • Oracle Linux (preinstall option)

  • Oracle VM (preinstall option)

  • RedHat Enterprise Linux

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2012

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2

  • VMware ESXi
