Availability

Memory

s HPE ProLiant BL660c Gen9 Server Blade

• Advanced ECC uses single device data correction (SDDC) to detect and correct single and all multi-bit

error that occurs within a single DRAM chip. Both x4 and x8 SDDC are supported (x8 requires lockstep mode).

• Memory online spare mode (also known as rank spare mode) detects a rank that is degrading and

switches operation to the spare rank.

• Memory demand and patrol scrubbing to prevent accumulation of correctable errors and reducing the

likelihood of unplanned downtime.

• Failed DIMM isolation improves the service time thus improving the overall system availability.

• Address parity protection available on RDIMMs and LRDIMMs detects address bit errors to improve

service time and overall system availability.

Mezzanine options and I/O

• Support for two (2) FlexibleLOMs, providing four (4) (i.e. redundant) Ethernet ports

• Multiple mezzanine I/O expansion slots that support a wide variety of mezzanine cards each

supporting multiple data paths routed to redundant interconnect modules.

• Network Adapter Teaming (bonding) provides network fault tolerance, transmit load balancing, and

switch-assisted load balancing.

Storage

• Four (4) Small Form Factor hot-plug SAS/SATA HDD or SSD drive bays.

• Choice of the HPE Smart Array P246br Controller with 1GB FBWC/HPE or the HPE B140i (chipset

SATA). RAID 0 and 1 support for both storage controller offerings.,

• Optional dual-port Fibre Channel mezzanine card(s) for redundant SAN connections.

Processor/Chipset

• Processor internal sensors & thermal control protection against over-temperature conditions.

• Cache parity/ECC protects cache data from accidental data corruption.

• Machine Check Architecture (MCA) detects and captures hardware errors such as system bus,

memory ECC, parity, and cache, and improves service time.

• Intel® QPI Protocol Protection allows detection of data errors using a checksum of 8-bits.

• Core Disable for FRB (fault resilient boot) allows a system to power-on despite a failing core-pair. It

uses BIST (built-in self test) results to detect a failure and disables the target core-pair upon subsequent boot.

Server Blade Enclosure Infrastructure

• Pooled power for true N+N power redundancy through up to six (6) hot-plug, high-efficiency,

common slot enclosure-based power supplies (configuration dependent).

• Up to ten (10) enclosure-based hot-plug HPE Active Cool fans that scale to meet future demands,

optimize airflow, reduce power draw, and improve acoustic performance.

• Dual grid power providing redundant rack enclosure power feeds to the server blade enclosure.

• HPE Dynamic Power Saver Mode monitors the total enclosure power consumption in real time and

automatically adjusts with change in demand for improved efficiency and reliability. HPE Dynamic Power Capping safely limits power usage without impacting performance by capping peak usage instead of average power usage, removes risk to electrical infrastructure with a fast-acting, hardwarebased capping algorithm, and reclaims more power by dynamically controlling power limits based on workload demand.

• Up to eight interconnect modules per server blade enclosure providing four simultaneous redundant

fabrics for FlexFabric, Virtual Connect Ethernet, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, Pass Thru Ethernet, etc.

• Enclosure crosslinks between adjacent enclosures to provide interconnect module-to-module

connections or as Virtual Connect module stacking links.

• Optional enclosure redundant Onboard Administrator system management module.
