Server Overview

Language:

The Oracle Server X5-4 is a 3RU rack-mount server system. The following table lists the server-supported components.

Component	Description
Processor (CPU)	Intel Xeon® E7-8895 v3 18-core 2.6 GHz processor. 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 twelve DDR3-1600 ECC low-voltage registered or load-reduced DIMMs, allowing up to twenty-four DIMMs per processor. Installed DIMMs must be the same type and size. In a two CPU system, you can install up to a maximum of 1.5 TB of system memory. In a four CPU system, you can install up to a maximum of 3 TB of system memory. For information on supported DIMM configurations, see Supported DIMMs and DIMM Population Rules.
Storage devices	For internal storage, the server chassis provides: Six 2.5-inch drive bays, accessible through the front panel. All bays can be populated with SAS-3 HDDs or SSDs. Four of the six drive bays (2 through 5) can also support NVMe SSD drives. Note - NVMe drive support requires the purchase an optional PCIe NVMe Switch card during the initial factory order of the server. It cannot be added later. An optional tray-load DVD+/-RW drive on the front of the server, below the drive bays. Oracle Storage 12 Gb/s SAS RAID PCIe HBA, Internal. This card supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, with a minimum of 1 Gb data cache, and Battery Backed Write Cache (BBWC) using an ESM (Energy Storage Module).
USB 2.0 ports	Four external high-speed USB ports: two in front and two in back. Two internal high-speed USB ports on the motherboard. One internal port holds the optional factory-installed Oracle System Assistant (OSA) flash drive. A second internal port can hold a USB flash drive for system booting.
VGA ports	Two high-density DB-15 video ports: one in front and one in back. The server includes an embedded VGA 2D graphics controller with 8 MB supporting resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 x 16bits @ 60 Hz (1024 x 768 when viewed remotely using Oracle ILOM RKVMS). Note - The back VGA port supports VESA Device Data Channel for monitor identification.
PCIe 3.0 I/O slots	Eleven PCIe 3.0 slots that accommodate low-profile PCIe cards. All slots support x8 PCIe connections Slots 1 through 7, 9, and 10: x8-only connectors Slots 8 and 11: x8 or x16 connectors Note - PCIe slots 7 through 11 are only functional in four CPU systems.
Ethernet ports	Four 10 GbE RJ-45 Ethernet ports (back panel)
Service processor	Emulex Pilot 3 base management controller (BMC): Supports the industry-standard IPMI feature set Supports remote KVMS, DVD, and ISO image over IP Includes serial port Supports Ethernet access to SP through a dedicated 10/100/1000 RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) management port and optionally through one of the host GbE ports (sideband management)
Power supplies	Two hot-swappable power supplies, each with 1030/2060 watts (low line/high line) capacity, auto-ranging, light load efficiency mode and redundant over-subscription
Cooling fans	Six hot-swappable, redundant fans at chassis front (top-loading) Two redundant fans, one in each power supply
Management software	The following options are available: 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. Oracle Enterprise Management Ops Center, which can be downloaded from the Oracle site
Service labels	The system comes with two handy service labels for quick reference information. One on the exterior of the server (describing exterior components), and one on the underside of the top cover (describing interior components).
