1.5 COPT

Capacity Optimization (COPT) is a function to optimize computing resources by enabling CPU cores as many required per workload without any impact to the number of DIMM and PCI slots which depends on CPU configuration.

When necessary, CPU core can be enabled additionally on-site. COPT is available only with A2040d COPT supported model (NEC Express5800/A2040d (COPT)). In order to enable CPU core, Core Activation Key should be ordered for the required number of cores.

Product Name/Description

Part Number

One Core Activation Key (for Embedded)

 Need to order at the same time of ordering the server. As many CPU cores as the

ordered number of the One Core Activation Key (for Embedded) are to be enabled when the ordered server is shipped.

 Up to the ordered number of the One Core Activation Key (for Embedded), CPU

cores are available for use.

NE3401-H010F

One Core Activation Key (for Add-on)

 The CPU core can be additionally enabled on-site by ordering the One Core

Activation Key (for Add-on).

 As many Code Words as the ordered number of the One Core Activation Key (for

Add-on) are shipped, and additional CPU core can be enabled by applying the Code Word to the server.

NE3401-H011F

NOTE:

 Contact to our sales representative for software supporting COPT function.  When enabling CPU core (or socket) by Core Activation Key, please purchase required software license

as appropriate

 In case of using socket license based software, please enable CPU core at the CPU socket on which the

software is operating. Software license is required for the socket with at least one enabled CPU core.

 Depending on the OS, the server may need to be rebooted to enable CPU cores  Remarks to use COPT under Linux environment:

- When using Fibre Channel Controller (16Gbps) [NE3390-157A/158A], need to enable enough number of CPU cores to have 4 or more logical processors,

 Remarks to use COPT under Windows environment

- Depending on the number of enabled CPU cores, PCI card to be installed is limited. Please refer for the details to “Installation Limitations for Windows”.

 Remarks to use COPT under VMware environment:

- Need to purchase at least the same number of One Core Activation Key as the number of CPU socket.

- Need to enable the same number of CPU cores among all CPUs (excluding CPUs with all cores disabled)

2. Memory on the Memory Riser Card (DIMM): Priority/Order of Installation

The priority/order to install DIMM on a Memory Riser Card depends on memory configuration. Memory Configuration Mode consists of 2; “Independent Mode” for high performance and “Lockstep Mode”

for high availability Under each mode, there are 2 features to improve availability further; “Memory Mirroring” and “Memory Rank

Sparing”.

2-1. Lockstep Mode

“Lockstep Mode” supports Error Detect/Correct toward 2x DRAM failures (DDDC) by having a pair of memory defined among 2x memory channels (CH0 and CH1 or CH2 and CH3) operating in parallel.

NOTE:

 Cannot mix RDIMM and LRDIMM in a server  Lockstep Mode is a standard setting at the server delivery.

For DIMM installation priority/order, (1) to install larger DIMM first, and (2) to install DIMMs to the sockets in the priority/order shown in the figure below.

2-2. Independent Mode

“Independent Mode” provides more performance by having 4 memory channels operate independently. This supports Error Detect/Correct toward 1x DRAM failure (SDDC).

NOTE:

 Cannot mix RDIMM and LRDIMM in a server  Lockstep Mode is a standard setting at the server delivery. To use Independent Mode, need to change

the mode from BIOS set-up menu.

For DIMM installation priority/order, (1) to install larger DIMM first, and (2) to install DIMMs to the sockets in the priority/order shown in the figure below. Otherwise, memory might not be able to be identified correctly.

DIMM Installation Order for Independent Mode (only) /Lockstep Mode (only)

CONFIGURATION GUIDE – NEC Express5800/A2040d, A2020d, A2010d, A1040d

NEC Corporation Rev.2.0 – Oct. 2017

2-3. Memory Mirroring

“Memory Mirroring” provide redundancy by writing the same data into 2x memory among different memory buffers on a Memory Riser Card. To use this feature, need to order memory set including 4 DIMMs per set

Memory Mirroring for each Memory Configuration Mode:

Independent Mode: Mirroring between CH0 and CH2, CH1 and CH3

Lockstep Mode: Mirroring between memory pair on CH0 and CH1 AND memory pair on CH2 and CH3

NOTE:

 Cannot mix RDIMM and LRDIMM in a server  When using Memory Mirroring, the available memory capacity becomes half of physical capacity.  Lockstep Mode + Memory Mirroring is a standard setting at the server delivery. To use Independent

Mode, need to change the mode from BIOS set-up menu.

 Cannot use both Memory Mirroring and Memory Rank Sparing at the same time.

For DIMM installation priority/order, (1) to install larger DIMM first, and (2) to install DIMMs to the sockets in the priority/order shown in the figure below.

NEC Corporation Rev.2.0 – Oct. 2017

2.4 Memory Rank Sparing

“Memory Rank Sparing” is the feature to keep operation (for high availability); by having 1 or 2 memory ranks of 2 DIMMs in one memory channel as a spare, when detecting errors at memory rank in operation, automatically switching to a spare rank. To use this feature, need to order memory set including 4 DIMMs per set

Memory Rank Sparing for each Memory Configuration Mode:

 Independent Mode: one or 2 memory rank out of 2 DIMMs in one memory channel is assigned as a

spare.

 Lockstep Mode: one or 2 memory rank out of 2 DIMMs in one memory channel is assigned as a spare

per memory pair of lock-step.

NOTE:

 Cannot mix RDIMM and LRDIMM in a server  When using Memory Rank Sparing, the available memory capacity reduces by the capacity of spare

memory rank:

 Available Memory Capacity:

1/2 of physical memory (8GB RDIMM) 1/2, 3/4 of physical memory (16GB RDIMM)

 Lockstep Mode + Memory Rank Sparing is a standard setting at the server delivery. To use Independent

Mode, need to change the mode from BIOS set-up menu.

 Cannot use both Memory Mirroring and Memory Rank Sparing at the same time.

For DIMM installation priority/order, (1) to install larger DIMM first, and (2) to install DIMMs to the sockets in the priority/order shown in the figure below.

3. Memory in the Server: Priority/Order of Installation

Basic Rule:

 When mixing different capacity of memory, will install larger capacity memory first.  In a Memory Riser Card, memory installed according to the rule shown in the previous section.

3-1. A2040d

(1) Standard Model

Memory will be installed equally among each Memory Riser Card.

(2) COPT Supported Model: Standard BTO Configuration (Centralized Mode)

Memory will be installed to the first younger 2 Memory Riser Cards. Follows the same rule afterwards,

(3) COPT Supported Model: With “Customized Service: Distribution Mode for COPT (NE3300-SV101)” is ordered (Decentralized Mode)

Memory will be installed equally among each Memory Riser Card.

3-2. A2020d

Memory will be installed equally to Memory Riser Card #1 to #4, then move to Memory Riser Card #5 to #8.

3-3. A2010d

Memory will be installed equally to Memory Riser Card #1 to #2, then move to Memory Riser Card #3 to #4.

3-4. A1040d

Memory will be installed equally among each Memory Riser Card.

■PCI Card: Priority/Order of Installation

Standard BTO Configuration:

Starting from the PCI cards with higher priority (see the table below), PCI cards are installed to the PCI slots with higher priority among the available slots per CPU configuration (see the table below). The following basic rules are applied to BTO configuration. If any other specific installation requirements, BTO configuration will not be applied. This is applicable for FC SAN boot without internal disks.

[Basic Rules for PCI Card Installation]

 The 1st RAID Controller or FC Controller needs to be installed to Slot#1.  The 2nd RAID Controller (if any) will not be installed (out of BTO)  Up to 2 External RAID Controllers can be installed.  Up to 5 SAS Controllers and 10GBASE-T card (in total) can be installed.  In case of having 9 slots available:

 Up to 8 cards for the cards with Priority 1-7 can be installed  Up to 7 cards for the cards except 1000BASE-T Adapter (2ch/4ch) and SAS Controller can be

installed

 In case of having 13 slots available:

 Up to 12 cards for the cards with Priority 1-7 can be installed  Up to 11 cards for the cards except 1000BASE-T Adapter (2ch/4ch) and SAS Controller can be

installed

 Up to 9 cards for 10G-BASE Adapter (SFP) and External RAID Controller (in total) can be installed

 In case of having 16 slots available:

 Up to 15 cards for the cards with Priority 1-7 can be installed  Up to 14 cards for the cards except 1000BASE-T Adapter (2ch/4ch) and SAS Controller can be

installed
