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.
Product Name/Description
Part Number
One Core Activation Key (for Embedded)
Need to order at the same time of 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 enabled CPU core can be added on-site.
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 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)

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

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
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.

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.

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.

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.

■Internal Drive
Internal Drive: Priority/Order of Installation
At the initial server delivery, internal drives are installed with the following priority/order. If the ordered
configuration is not in the scope of the rule, the drive will be delivered as not configured.
◆1x RAID Controller
・Slot 0 => Slot 1 => Slot 2 => Slot 3 => Slot 4 => Slot 5 => Slot 6 => Slot 7
◆2x RAID Controller
For the 1st RAID Controller
・Slot 0 => Slot 1 => Slot 2 => Slot3
For the 2nd RAID Controller
・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.

■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.
[Basic Rules for PCI Card Installation]
The 1st RAID Controller needs to be installed to Slot#1.
The 2nd RAID Controller (if any) will not be installed (out of BTO configuration)
When External RAID Controller has Flash Backup Unit (FBU), the External RAID Controller will not be
installed (out of BTO configuration).
When the number of available PCI slot is 9, up to 8x 1000BASE-T Adapter (4 port) can be installed.
When the number of available PCI slot is 13, up to 12x 1000BASE-T Adapter (4 port) can be installed, AND
PCI card requiring IO space should be 8 or less except RAID Controller.
When the number of available PCI slot is 16, up to 15x 1000BASE-T Adapter (4 port) can be installed, AND

With PCI Card Customized Configuration Service (NE3300-SV401)
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.
[Basic Rules for PCI Card Installation]
When the number of available PCI slot is 13, PCI cards requiring IO space should be 10 at maximum.
When the number of available PCI slot is 16, PCI cards requiring IO space should be 13 at maximum.
The 1st RAID Controller needs to be installed to Slot#1. The 2nd RAID Controller (if any) will not be
installed (out of BTO configuration)
1000BASE-T Adapter, 1 port and 2 port, needs to be installed to Slot#9 (or, in case of 1CPU
configuration, Slot#5)
External RAID Controller should be installed to Slot#5, #8, #12 or #16.
