NOTE:

 512e sector drives are not available for VMware ESXi 6.0 system.  All drives within a RAID array should be of the same capacity.  To configure a large-capacity RAID array, it is recommended to configure in RAID 6 or RAID 60 in order to minimize the risk of

becoming multiple hard drives failure during the RAID rebuilding process.

 Near Line SAS HDDs (7200 rpm) and SAS-HDDs (10,000rpm / 15,000rpm) are equipped with SAS interface, they have the same

maximum transfer speed and error recovery capabilities from the perspective of the interface specification, however Near Line SAS HDDs have the same I/O performance and endurance life as SATA HDDs(7200rpm) have.

 The Capacity of Hard disk drive is indicated in decimal not binary. 1GB＝1000^3B、1TB=1000^4B.

PCI expansion slot

 Transfer speed of PCI Express

 PCI Express (PCIe): 2.5Gb/s (simplex) per lane  PCI Express 2.0 (PCIe 2.0): 5Gb/s (simplex) per lane  PCI Express 3.0 (PCIe 3.0): 8Gb/s (simplex) per lane

Time display

 A system clock is affected by temperature conditions in storage. If high accuracy of the system clock is required, use of

NPT servers is recommended.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION GUIDE – NEC Express5800/R120h-1M

NEC Corporation Revision 7.0 – July 2018 37

Memory Supplementary Matters

Installation rule

 The number of memory which can be installed varies depending on number of installed CPUs.  This installation rule is defined to maximize performance efficiently in multiple cores and tasks operation.  Registered DIMM (RDIMM), Load Reduced DIMM (LRDIMM) can be installed up to 12 per 1CPU.  Mixing of RDIMM and LRDIMM is not allowed to be installed.

When installing DIMMs, higher capacity memory must be installed preferentially, if this rule is ignored, it may cause failures of DIMMs. This rule applies to the factory installation.

For dual CPU system, install DIMM to CPU1 firstly and then to CPU2 alternately. Memory population varies with number of installed DIMMs. In installation of 5, 7, 9 or 11 DIMMs per CPU, optimal performance might NOT be obtained. Other memory populations are recommended.

Internal Drive Supplementary Matters

Conditions of internal drives in the default factory configuration

In the default factory configuration, there are some conditions of drive types and RAID levels that can be installed as below.

Common

 For the shipment with a RAID array, select the drives in the same capacity as many as needed.  In the default factory configuration, up to two types of Internal Drives can be installed in accordance with the following conditions

and restrictions.

Conditions for mixing Internal Drives in the default factory configuration

 Up to two types of Internal Drives can be installed in the default factory configuration.  M.2 SATA SSD can be installed at the factory regardless of mixing Internal Drives.  The type of Internal Drives is classified according to form factors (2.5”/3.5”), interfaces (SAS/SATA), devices (HDD/SSD), Data

transfer speeds, and rotational speeds. The current categories are below.

 3.5 inch SAS HDD, 12Gb/s, 7,200rpm  3.5 inch SATA HDD, 6Gb/s, 7,200rpm  2.5 inch SAS HDD, 12Gb/s, 10,000rpm  2.5 inch SAS HDD, 12Gb/s, 15,000rpm  2.5 inch SAS SSD, 12Gb/s  2.5 inch SATA HDD, 6Gb/s, 7,200rpm  2.5 inch SATA SSD, 6Gb/s

For example, 2.5 inch SATA HDD, 1TB, 7,200rpm 512n sector and 2.5 inch SATA HDD, 2TB, 7,200rpm 512n sector are regarded as the same type of Internal Drives.

Common restrictions of mixing Internal Drives in the default factory configuration

 Internal Drives with a different sector size cannot be mixed, even if they are the same type.

For example, a mixing of 2.5 inch SATA HDD, 1TB, 7,200rpm 512n sector and 2.5 inch SATA HDD, 2TB, 7,200rpm 512e sector is NOT supported in the default factory configuration.

 SSDs of different Endurance (ME, VE, RI) cannot be mixed, even if they are the same type.

For example, a mixing of 2.5 inch SATA SSD, 400GB, 6Gb/s VE (Value Endurance) and 2.5 inch SATA HDD, 800GB, 6Gb/s RI (Read Intensive) is NOT supported in the default factory configuration.

Mounting order of mixing Internal Drives in the default factory configuration

 In the default factory configuration, the drive mounting order is defined as below.  The Internal drives is installed in the order of Front Cage, Middle Cage, Rear Cage.

Order

2.5 inch Drives

Order

 The Internal drives are installed in the ascending order of a slot number, when the same type of the drives are selected, the drives

are installed according to the order below.

NEC Corporation Revision 7.0 – July 2018 40

RAID controller configuration

 RAID level 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 can be installed for the default factory configuration. Selectable RAID levels are depending

on the RAID controller.

 Capacity of Logical drive can be within 2TB with legacy boot mode, capacity of logical drive can be within the total

capacity of logical disks with UEFI boot mode.

 As the factory shipment, initial cache policy of RAID controllers is Write Through for N8103-189, Write back for

N8103-190/191/193/194.

RAID configuration for the default factory shipment

Available RAID level is determined by the RAID configurations and the number of drives as below.

NEC Corporation Revision 7.0 – July 2018 41

Conditions for mixing of Internal Drives after shipment

 RAID controller is required for mixing of Internal Drives  Mixed Internal Drives cannot be installed in the same RAID array.  When using hot spare disk for different RAID arrays which consist of various type of drives, assign “Dedicated Hot Spare” to each

RAID arrays with the same type of drive, to prevent from mixing different type of drives in a RAID array. “Global Hot Spare” cannot be used.

Mixing of different type of drives

Two types of drive can be installed in standard drive cage (8slots) and optional drive cage (8slots), in total, up to four types of drive using both cages. There is nine “type”, such as SAS HDD 10,000rpm(512n), SAS HDD 10,000rpm(512e), SAS HDD 15,000rpm(512n), SAS HDD 7,200rpm(512e), SATA HDD 7,200rpm(512n), SATA HDD 7,200rpm(512e), SATA SSD(ME/VE/RI).
