1.3 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-H101F

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-H102F

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)

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

to each socket equally.

CPU: BTO Configuration Rule

 CPUs are to be installed in the priority order of CPU1 => CPU2 => CPU3 => CPU4.

■Memory

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

Priority/Order of installing Memory (DIMM) in the server is based on the following “Basic Rures”, with some

differences depending on the server model or COPT mode or not.

Basic Rules:

 When mixing different capacity of memory, larger capacity memory is installed first.  Differenct capacity of DIMM cannot be mixed when using memory sparing or mirroring.  Cannot use both memory sparing and memory mirroring.  RDIMM and RDIMM-3DS cannot be mixed.  5 sets (10x DIMM) per CPU Board is not allowed to configure, in order to avoid performance decrease

risk due to unbalanced memory.

 Different rules are applied between 6 or less DIMM per CPU configuration and 8 or more DIMM per

CPU configuration

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.

・Slot 0 => Slot 1 => Slot 2 => Slot 3 => Slot 4 => Slot 5 => Slot 6 => Slot 7

Conditions to Mix Internal Drives

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

- When SSDs with different capacity are mixed, smaller 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.

Installation Limitations due to I/O Space

Some PCI cards using I/O space has limitation regarding the number of cards to be installed. Please see the tables below.

NOTE:

 Please refer to the Users Guide of each card for the details.  “Card Perf.” means the maximum operating performance of the card.  If the PCI slot specification is lower than the operation performance of the cards, the card operates according to the specification

of the slot.

 PCI Slot #2 to #16 are hot plug supported.

Installation Limitations for Windows Environment

For Windows environment, PCI cards have additional installation limitations as for the number of the cards to be installed, depending on the combination of the PCI cards and CPU. Please refer below for the details.

In case of using CPU SKU with small number of thread and require large I/O space, Hyper Threading is recommended to “ON” (default setting) in order to avoid performance decrease due to lack of I/O space.

■PCI Card: Priority/Order of Installation

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]

 RAID Controller: up to 1 controller can be installed to Slot#1.  SAS Controller:

 (A2040e) up to 4 controller can be installed to Slot#3, #7, #9 and #15.  (A1040e) up to 3 controller can be installed to Slot#3, #7 and #15.

 NIC: At least 1 card needs to be installed among 1000BASE-T Adapter (2ch/4ch), 10GBASE-T Adapter.
