Required System Disk Capacity See the table below for minimum required system disk capacity to store whole memory dump data. It is recommended to install hard drives providing the minimum required system disk capacity to reduce the time to resynchronize after a hard drive replacement. Memory Size Required System Disk Capacity Up to 24GB 28GB to 32GB 48GB to 64GB 96GB to 192GB 256GB 146.5GB 200GB 300GB 600GB 900GB Notes for BTO with SSD The smallest capacity HDD/SSD is installed in the 1st HDD bay (as system disk) at factory. If you use 200GB SSD as system disk and want to use 146.5GB HDD as data disk, order the 146.5GB HDD separately and install it later. When the memory size is 48GB or more, system disk capacity should be at least 300GB. In that case, BTO with SSD is not possible. If you want to use 200GB SSD as data disk in such a system, order the 200GB SSD separately and install it later. 5 Optical Drive Available bays: 1 Product Name / Description Part Number Internal DVD Super Multi Drive : 1 x DVD Super Multi drive, not including writing software (Standard) NEC Corporation Revision 3.1, June 2014 11 CONFIGURATION GUIDE – NEC EXPRESS5800/R320c-E4 / Windows Server 2008 R2 model 6 PCI Card 6.1 LAN Controller Category Product Name / Description Part Number LAN Controller 1000BASE-T 2ch board kit : 2 x GbE NIC Intel® Gigabit ET Dual Port Server Adapter 10GBASE-T 1ch Adapter Kit : 2 x 10GbE NIC Intel® X540-T1 NOTE: - Up to one controller per module - FCoE functionality is not supported N8804-009 N8804-011 NOTE: For iSCSI (data) connection, only 1000BASE-T ports (Including standard LAN ports) are supported. 6.2 Fibre Channel / SAS Controller Category Product Name / Description Part Number Fibre Channel Controller Fibre Channel board kit (8Gbps) : 2 x FC Controller QLogic QLE2560 8Gbps Fibre Channel Adapters N8803-038 SAS Controller SAS Controller : 1 x SAS Controller LSI SAS9212-4i4e Host Bus Adapter NOTE: Up to one controller per module N8803-039 NOTE: For supported NEC Storage products to connect with N8803-038, contact your sales representative or refer to the NEC Storage WEB site.

If this does not meet your system requirements, consider a double backup configuration. Refer to the following notes on double backup configuration. When configuring two sets of a SAS controller, a SAS cable and a backup device, two backup devices are recognized separately by the OS. When scheduling an automatic backup job, make a job for each backup device so that the other backup device can backup in case one device fails. With BrightStor ARCserve Backup, backup is not executed if you enter an asterisk (*) in the group box under the destination tab when defining a job. Be sure to create two backup jobs by correctly selecting the device group for the group box, and entering an asterisk (*) or the name of the media in the media box.

NEC Corporation Revision 3.1, June 2014 18 CONFIGURATION GUIDE – NEC EXPRESS5800/R320c-E4 / Windows Server 2008 R2 model Notes for using Hyper-V Brief system interruption during synchronization process In the synchronization process of CPU modules, a memory copy is performed to duplex memory on both CPU modules. Most of the memory area can be copied without interrupting the system through the so-called brownout copy method, and just a small portion requires the system to stop. However, with Hyper-V, the system cannot use the brownout copy method. Therefore, the system does not respond for a longer period of time during the synchronization process of the CPU modules than without Hyper-V. See the table below for the reference values of interruption during re-synchronization of CPU/IO modules in a Hyper-V system. It is recommended that your system design take the interruption into account.
