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 A2040c COPT supported model (NEC Express5800/A2040c (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)

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 among 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

With 1 RAID Controller configuration, different HDDs, SDDs or HDD and SSD cannot be configured in
the BTO. When mixing these drives, please refer to the section “Internal Disk” at “References”.
RAID 0/1/5/6/10 can be configured at BTO Configuration. For RAID 50/60, need to configure after the
delivery.
With 2 RAID Controller configuration, the 2
nd
RAID Controller and 5th and more HDDs cannot be
configured at BTO Configuration.
With 2 RAID Controller configuration, RAID cannot be configured between internal drives under different
RAID Controllers.
The delivery lead time of SSD is longer than the others. Please contact to our sales representative for the
delivery.

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/A2040c, A2020c, A2010c, A1040c
NEC Corporation Rev.2.0 –Sep. 2015
53
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 –Sep. 2015
54
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 is assigned as a spare out of either a memory pair on CH0 and
CH1 OR a memory pair on CH02 and CH03.
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. A2040c
(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. A2020c
Memory will be installed equally to Memory Riser Card #1 to #4, then move to Memory Riser Card #5 to #8.
3-3. A2010c
Memory will be installed equally to Memory Riser Card #1 to #2, then move to Memory Riser Card #3 to #4.
3-4. A1040c
Memory will be installed equally among each Memory Riser Card.

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 SSD is NOT supported in the BTO
configuration.
Cannot mix the different drives within a 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.
