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) NE3401-H010F 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. One Core Activation Key (for Add-on) NE3401-H011F 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. 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) <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 - Depending on the number of enabled CPU cores, PCI card to be installed is limited.

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) NEC Corporation Rev.4.0 –May 2016 53 CONFIGURATION GUIDE – NEC Express5800/A2040c, A2020c, A2010c, A1040c 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.

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 out of 2 DIMMs in one memory channel is assigned as a spare per memory pair of lock-step. 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.

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.
