Product Description
Two Fujitsu Server PRIMERGY CX270 S2 dual socket server nodes, each with a condensed half-wide 2U form factor can be packaged into the PRIMERGY CX400 S2 Multi-Node server system, including up to 8 local storage drives in a condensed 2 U rack enclosure. The server node features an optional GPGPU (General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit) from the parallel processing NVIDIA® Tesla™ K-series or a new Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor, to provide the optimal expansion for hardware assisted acceleration in High Performance Computing, analytics and graphic processing, enabling a ten-fold performance boost in HPC applications. With 16 DIMMs for high bandwidth memory modules (1,024 GB), two top-bin CPUs out of the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 family, and 3 PCIe Gen3 IO card slots (1x for GPGPU support) the server node provides great versatility for very ambitious high performance workloads. A range of powerful communication and networking low profile PCIe cards, from 1 to 10 Gb Ethernet, 56 Gb FDR Infiniband, and SAS 2.0 RAID support future proof high speed node connectivity as required in creating large scale-out infrastructures. The CX270 S2 combines high-end computational and graphics performance with high energy efficiency while using shared local fans and power supply units located in the CX400 S2 Multi-Node system. With its condensed half-wide form factor it optimizes large data center scale-out deployment by minimum rack space used and low power envelopes.

Config Notes

Kdump: the crash kernel reserved memory parameters were increased from the default to "crashkernel=210M,high crashkernel=162M,low" using YaST.
SR-IOV: System was tested using SR-IOV where a virtual network adapter was given to one of the SLES 12 guests. One of the embedded Intel X540 ML2 Dual Port 10GbaseT adapters was used in this testing.
VM Driver Pack: All guests were tested with PV drivers installed. The SLES drivers are included with the OS. The Windows 2012 R2 drivers are available from http://download.suse.com (VMDP-WIN-2.3.exe), the virtio network drivers were used during testing.
Install: System installed via network PXE UEFI boot; the OS was installed using the UEFI boot loader and system configuration. Tested as a 2-node scalable partition with 8 Compute Books. Hard disk configuration: separate RAID 0.
