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 (SLES12SP3): the crash kernel reserved memory parameters were increased from the default to crashkernel=512M,high crashkernel=128M,low using YaST.
- An updated SUSE kernel and Broadcom Emulex lpfc driver was used during testing and is SUSE SolidDriver Program compliant. The kernel and driver was installed from the following Installation Kit: lightpulse_adapters_lpfc-sle12sp3-x86_64-4.0.iso. This driver package can be downloaded and installed during the SLES install. To obtain the kernel and driver installation information go to: https://drivers.suse.com/emulex/LightPulse_Adapters_lpfc/sle-12-sp3-x86_64/4.0/install-readme.html
- SR-IOV/PCI Pass-through: Current system configuration does not support network SR-IOV or network PCI pass-through.
