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) NE3401-H010F 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. One Core Activation Key (for Add-on) The enabled CPU core can be added on-site. NE3401-H011F 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. 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 - In case of using Fibre Channel Controller (16Gbps) [NE3390-157A/-158A], need to enable enough CPU cores to have 4 or more logical processors. Remarks to use COPT under Windows environment - Depending on the number of CPU cores to be enabled, PCI cards have limitations to install. Please refer to “PCI Slot: Available Slots and Installation Limitations”. 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) <Examples of OK or NG configuration in case of 4CPU configuration> Ex.1: OK Ex.2: OK Ex.3: NG Ex.4: NG CPU1: 1 core enabled CPU2: 1 core enabled CPU3: 1 core enabled CPU4: 1 core enabled CPU1: 4 core enabled CPU2: 0 core enabled CPU3: 0 core enabled CPU4: 0 core enabled CPU1: 2 core enabled CPU2: 1 core enabled CPU3: 1 core enabled CPU4: 0 core enabled CPU1: 1 core enabled CPU2: 1 core enabled CPU3: 1 core enabled CPU4: 0 core enabled 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.

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.

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.

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.
