2 Introduction The seventh generation H P ProLiant DL580 Server series stands out as a major ad vancement over earlier generations of fo ur-socket servers. The DL580 G7 (Figu re 1) features improved HP archi tecture, advanced RAS features, enhanced HP Integrated Lights-O ut (iLO 3) remote management capabilities, and the latest technology- based ha[...]

3 The DL580 G7 uses H P’s leading “Sea of Sensors” tec hnology to track and ma nage the temperature and hea lth of both indivi dual sub systems and field-replaceab le units (FRU). A t a red uced level of power and no ise, a set of four redundant (3+1) fans run effici entl y and co ol the DL580 G7 rel iably. The reliability, servicea bility, a[...]

8 Memory Subsystem A rchitecture The HP ProLian t D L580 G7 provides a 2TB memory foo tprint and supports up to 64 DDR3 RDIMMs . Each of the server’s four processors receiv es 16 RDIMM sockets in two easily serviceab le memory cartridges. The DL 580 G7 supports 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32GB RDIM Ms. The server inco rporates four processors. Each pr ocess[...]

10 The above No n-Hemisphere Example 5 and E xample 6 illustrate:  Each memory c ontroller must have a memo ry cartridge  DIMM con figurations of each memory c artridge connected to con troll er 1 and 2 of a p rocessor must be identical. Note that “Example 4” i s a Hemisphere co nfiguration. The two ca rtridges connected to each processo [...]

11  Populate each DD R3 channel i n each memory cartridg e. To achieve this, the minimum DIMM count per c artridge is four DIMMs installed in DIMM pair locations A and B. This is t he second largest contrib utor to performance.  Use dual-rank D IMMs for significantly better perform ance than that o f single-rank DIMMs. Quad -rank DIMMs provid[...]

12 When the system enab les online sparing, the first ra nked DIM M pair of 1A/8A are set aside as the spar ing ranks, reducing availab le memory. If a DIM M rank on either of the SMI buses exce eds its correctab l e ECC thresho ld, the contents of the f ailing DIMM ranks go to the spa re DIMM ranks. On ce the copy is complete, all memory acc esses[...]

Each SMI li nk expands to two DDR3 buses via a scalable memory buffer (SMB). Each memo ry controller runs its two SMI links in lockstep. Memory expansion arch itecture furn[...]

15 I/O technologies The DL580 G7 supports up t o eleven I/O full length, ful l height expansion slots w ith the available option card s installed. The standard confi guration includes five slots, 2 P CIe x8 2.0 and 3 PCIe x4 2.0.

20 Jumbo Frames Jumbo frames (also know n as ext ended frames) permit a 9 K by te transmissio n unit (MTU), which is six tim es the s ize of a standard 15 00- byte Eth ernet frame. The N C375i supports jumbo frames to achieve higher throughput and better CPU utilization. J umbo frames are part icularly useful for database tra nsfers and tape backup[...]

21 port wit h the server OS traffic, both t he iLO processor and the server N IC have their own Media Acc ess Control (MAC) address, wh ich gives iLO and the server separate Inter net Protocol (IP) addresses.
