Product Description
The FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY CX2550 M4 is a compact server node enabling highest computing density with up to four independent servers in just 2U (PRIMERGY CX400 M4). As a dual socket server node it features the latest Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family and 16 DIMM slots (up to 2,048 GB DDR4 memory). With its two-storagedrive configuration, the CX2550 M4 is well-suited for mainstream enterprise workloads, cloud and high performance computing scenarios. The server node is prepared for individual future demands by offering further various modular options. In addition to the basic onboard LAN, the node provides additional 2x PCIe Gen3 x16 slots as well as an optional CPU direct high-speed interconnect (Intel® Omni-Path Architecture) offering low communication latency, low power consumption and a high throughput. The PRIMERGY CX400 M4 enclosure allows nodes and components to share power, cooling and management. It houses hot-plug, redundant power supply units, hot-plug, redundant fan modules and can be equipped with up to 24 storage drives.

Config Notes

Install: System installed via network PXE UEFI boot; the OS was installed using the UEFI boot loader and system configuration. Hard Disk Configuration: JBOD
System was scaled up to 8-socket by joining four x880 X6 with 8S scalability connector.
Serial/USB/VGA port(s): provided through KVM connector console breakout cable which supplies one RS232 serial port, one VGA port and two USB ports.
SR-IOV: System was tested using SR-IOV where a virtual network adapter was given to the SLES 12 SP1 x86_64 guest. One of the embedded Lenovo Embedded Four-Port 10GB Virtual Fabric Ethernet LOM adapters was used in this testing.
VM Driver Pack: All FV guests were tested with PV drivers installed. The SLES drivers are included with the OS. The Windows 2012 R2 drivers are available from https://download.suse.com/ (VMDP-WIN-2.2.exe).
