CPU modules (CMODs) contain the processors (CPUs) and the system memory, and supply power to the fan modules and the DPCCs.
CMODs are internal warm or cold-service components. To access the CMODs, you must remove the fan modules and the fan frames.
The following sections describe the CMOD configuration options and the internal layout of components:
Each CMOD contains one Intel Xeon® E7-8895 v3 (18-core 2.6 GHz) processor.
The maximum system memory with DDR3 1333 32 GB DIMMs is:
Four CMODs: 3 TB
Eight CMODs: 6TB
The server supports four- and eight-CMOD configurations. In the four-CMOD configuration, the first four slots on the left (slots 0-3) are occupied and the four slots on the right (4-7) are unoccupied.
The following illustration shows a server with a four-CMOD configuration. In the illustration, the left-side fan modules and fan frame have been removed to show the four CMODs. Call out 1 identifies the group of four CMODs.
The following illustration shows a server with a four-CMOD configuration with all eight fan modules and with both fan frames removed, exposing the empty CMOD bay on the right. The four right-side fan modules are not powered; however in a four-CMOD configuration, these fan modules must be installed. Call out 1 identifies the group of four CMODs installed on the left side of the server. Call out 2 identifies the empty CMOD bay on the right side of the server.
The following illustration shows a server with an eight (full) CMOD configuration. Call out 1 identifies the group of four CMODs installed on the left side of the server, and call out 2 identifies the second group of four CMODs installed on the right side of the server.
In both CMOD configurations, the system includes four power supplies, eight fan modules, and eight DPCCs. However, fan modules and DPCCs receive power from the CMODs, so in a four-CPU configuration, only fan modules 0-3 and DPCCs 0-3 are active. Fan modules 4-7 and DPCCs 4-7 are not powered and not active.
The Oracle Server X5-8 supports four and eight CMOD configurations. Each CMOD supports a single socket containing a single Intel EX Xeon E7-8895 v3 processor.
For the four-socket server configuration:
CPU modules (CMODs) must be installed in slots 0-3.
DPCC slots 0-3 are active; however DPCCs 4-7 must be installed.
Both fan frames must be installed.
All eight fan modules (FMs) must be installed but only FMs 0-3 are active.
For the eight-socket server configuration:
CMODs must be installed in slots 0-7.
DPCC slots 0-7 are active.
Both fan frames must be installed.
All eight fan modules (FMs) must be installed and all FMs are active.
Each CMOD contains the following components:
Heatsink and processor assembly
24 DIMM slots arranged in four groups of six
DIMM test circuit, which helps you locate failed DIMMs and verify a failed CPU
Fault Remind button
Circuit Charge Status indicator
24 DIMM slot fault indicators
CPU fault indicator
The following illustration shows the location of the CMOD components.

Fan modules (FMs) get power from CMODs. However, only CMODs in even-numbered slots supply power to fan modules. The following table shows which CMOD slots provide FM power.

CMODs in slots 1, 3, 5, and 7 do not supply FM power.
