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 A2040b COPT supported model (NEC Express5800/A2040b (COPT)). In order to enable CPU core, Core Activation Key should be ordered for the required number of cores.

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 VMware environment:

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

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

 For the details, please refer to the latest version of “Express5800/A2040b Capacity Optimization (COPT)

User's Guide”

 Default setting of Core Optimization Mode is “Decentralize”, where the enabled CPU cores are

distributed to each socket equally.

4.1 RAID Configuration

RAID0/1/5/6/10/50/60 is supported. 2 kinds of RAID Controller are supported; with 1GB or 512MB cache. With 1 RAID Controller configuration, max. 8 internal drives can be connected per one RAID Controller. With 2 RAID Controller configuration, max. 4 internal drives can be connected per one RAID Controller.

NOTE:

 Needs to order RAID Controller to configure internal drives  For RAID Configuration, same type of internal drives need to be ordered within one RAID group (pack)  Multiple RAID group can be configured by one RAID Controller. In case of RAID1, 4 groups at maximum.  Different capacity/rotation speed/disk type of internal drives can be mixed in different RAID groups.  When configuring hot-spare disks, need to use same type of internal disk for the RAID group.

 All internal drives are same type, Global Hot Spare can be available.  When mixing different capacity/rotation speed/disk type drives, need to use Dedicated Hot Spare

per RAID group.

 With 2 RAID Controller configuration, max. 4 internal drives can be connected per one RAID controller.

Therefore, RAID50/60 is not available, with 2 RAID Controller configuration,

 With 2 RAID Controller configurations, RAID cannot be configured among internal drives under different

RAID Controllers.

 Please refer to “Internal Drive” of “Reference” section for the details about Internal Drive: Priority/Order of

Installatioin.

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. To use this mode, need to order memory set including 2 DIMMs per set.

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). To use this mode, need to order memory set including 2 DIMMs per set.

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

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.

the mode from BIOS set-up menu.

NEC Corporation Revision 8.0 – April 2015

CONFIGURATION GUIDE – NEC Express5800/A2040b, A2020b, A2010b, A1040b

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.

CONFIGURATION GUIDE – NEC Express5800/A2040b, A2020b, A2010b, A1040b

2.4 Memory Rank Sparing

“Memory Rank Sparing” is the feature to keep operation; with having one of two memory ranks in one memory channel as a spare, when detecting errors at memory rank in operation, automatically switching to 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 of two memory rank in each memory channel is assigned as a spare memory rank Lockstep Mode: Either a memory pair on CH0 and CH1 OR a memory pair on CH02 and CH03 is assigned

as a spare memory rank.

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) 3/4 of physical memory (16GB RDIMM) 7/8 of physical memory (32GB LRDIMM) 3/4 of physical memory (64GB LRDIMM)

 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. A2040b

(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. A2020b

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

3-3. A2010b

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

3-4. A1040b

・Slot 4 => Slot 5 => Slot 6 => Slot 7

However, the 2nd RAID Controller and the drives under the controller are not installed (configured) at the server delivery.

Conditions to Mix Internal Drives

 Mixing SSDs with different capacity or mixing HDDs with the same rotation speed is supported in the

BTO configuration.

 Mixing HDDs with different rotation speed and mixing HDD and SSC is NOT supported in the BTO

configuration.

 Cannot mix within the same RAID group (pack)  When defining hot spare disk under mixed drive configuration, need to set Dedicated Hot Spare per

RAID group. Global Hot Spare is not available.

 Please refer to the following for further details.

With different internal drives

 For 1x RAID Controller, 2 kinds of HDDs or HDD/SSD can be mixed.

 When SSD/HDD mixed, SSDs are installed first according to the above priority/order, then HDDs

are installed in the remaining drive bays.

 When SSDs with different capacity are mixed, larger SSDs are installed first.  When HDDs with different rotation speed, higher speed HDDs are installed first. If the speed is

the same, smaller capacity HDDs are installed first.
