Performance and Scalability
⚫Powered by Intel®Xeon®Scalable Skylake or Cascade Lake processors, the server
provides up to 28 cores, 3.8 GHz frequency, a 38.5 MB L3 cache, and three 10.4 GT/s
UPI links between the processors, which deliver supreme processing performance.
−It supports four processors with 112 cores and 224 threads to maximize the
concurrent execution of multithreaded applications.
−The layered architecture of the processor cache is optimized. The L2 cache capacity
is increased to process memory data directly, which greatly improves the memory
access performance. Each core can exclusively use 1 MB of L2 cache, reducing the
load on L3 cache.Asingle processor can share a maximum of 38.5 MB L3 cache.
−Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows processor cores to run faster than the
frequency specified in the Thermal Design Power (TDP) configuration if they are
operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits.
−Intel Hyper-Threading Technology enables each processor core to run up to two
threads, improving parallel computation capability.
−The hardware-assisted Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) allows
operating system (OS) vendors to better use hardware to address virtualization
workloads.
−With Intel®Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (AVX-512), applications can pack 32
double-precision and 64 single-precision floating-point operations per second in a
clock cycle within the 512-bit vectors, as well as eight 64-bit and sixteen 32-bit
integers, with up to two 512-bit fused multiply-add (FMA) units. Compared with
Intel®Advanced Vector Extensions 2.0 (Intel®AVX2), Intel®AVX-512 doubles the
width and number of data registers and the width of FMA units.
−The Cascade Lake processors support Intel® Deep Learning Boost vector neural
network instructions (VNNI) to improve the performance of deep learning
applications.
⚫The server supports double data rate 4 (DDR4) registered dual in-line memory modules
(RDIMMs) and load-reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs) with error checking and correcting
(ECC). Aserver fully configured with forty-eight 2933 MT/s memory modules (only
available with Cascade Lake processors) provides 6144 GB memory space and the
maximum theoretical memory bandwidth of 549.9 GB/s.
⚫Flexible drive configurations cater to a variety of business requirements and ensure high
elasticity and scalability of storage resources.
⚫The use of all solid-state drives (SSDs) is supported. An SSD supports up to 100 times
more I/O operations per second (IOPS) than a typical hard disk drive (HDD). The use of

all SSDs provides higher I/O performance than the use of all HDDs or a combination of
HDDs and SSDs.
⚫The use of 12 Gbit/s SCSI (SAS) serial connection for internal storage provides 2x data
transmission rate than the use of 6 Gbit/s SAS connection, maximizing the performance
of I/O-intensive applications.
⚫With Intel integrated I/O, the Intel®Xeon®Scalable processors integrate the PCIe 3.0
controller to shortens I/O latency and improve overall system performance.
⚫The server supports up to 15 PCIe 3.0 slots.
Availability and Serviceability
⚫Carrier-class components with process expertise ensure high system reliability and
availability.
⚫The server uses hot-swappable SAS/SATA/NVMe drives. It supports RAID 0, 1, 1E, 10,
5, 50, 6, and 60, depending on the RAID controller card used. It also uses a
supercapacitor to protect the RAID cache data against power failures.
⚫The server provides simplified O&M and efficient troubleshooting through the UID/HLY
LED indicators on the front panel, fault diagnosis LED, touch LCD diagnosis panel, and
iBMC WebUI.
⚫The SSDs offer better reliability than HDDs, ensuring continued system performance.
⚫The iBMC monitors system parameters in real time, triggers alarms, and performs
recovery actions in case of failures, minimizing system downtime.
⚫For more information about the warranty in the Chinese market, consult technical
support.
Manageability and Security
⚫The built-in iBMC monitors server operating status and provides remote management.
⚫A password is required for accessing the BIOS, ensuring system boot and management
security.
⚫The Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) allows a network port to serve as a
management port and a service port for maximized return on investment (ROI) for
customers. The NC-SI feature is disabled by default and can be enabled through the
iBMC or BIOS.
⚫The integrated Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) improves setup,
configuration, and update efficiency and simplifies fault handling.
⚫Lockable server chassis panel ensures security of local data.
⚫Intel Execute Disable Bit (EDB) function prevents certain types of malicious buffer
overflow attacks when working with a supported OS.
⚫Intel Trusted Execution Technology enhances security using hardware-based defense
against malicious software attacks, allowing applications to run independently.
⚫The trusted platform module (TPM) and trusted cryptography module (TCM) provide
advanced encryption functions, such as digital signatures and remote authentication.
⚫The following requirements in NIST SP 800-147B are met:
−The BIOS firmware digital signature update mechanism is supported. During the
upgrade, the digital signature is verified to prevent unauthorized BIOS firmware
upgrade.
−The flash security protection mechanism is supported to prevent unauthorized
modification of the flash memory in the OS.

The service port with NC-SI enabled supports the following configuration:
⚫Configuring any LOM port of the server as the service port with NC-SI enabled. Host port 1 is
configured by default.
⚫Enabling, disabling, and setting a virtual local area network (VLAN) ID for this port. The VLAN ID
is 0and disabled by default.
⚫Configuring IPv4 addresses (IPv4 address, subnet mask, and gateway) and IPv6 addresses (IPv6
address, prefix length, and gateway) for this port.
Energy Efficiency
⚫The 80 Plus Platinum power supply units (PSUs) of multiple power ratings provide 94%
power efficiency at 50% load.
⚫Efficient voltage regulator-down (VRD) power supplies for boards minimize the energy
loss from DC/DC power conversion.
⚫Area-based, Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) intelligent fan speed adjustment and
intelligent CPU frequency scaling optimize heat dissipation and reduce overall system
power consumption.
⚫The improved thermal design with energy-efficient fans ensures optimal heat dissipation
and reduces system power consumption.
⚫The server is protected with power capping and power control measures.
⚫Staggered spin-up for drives reduces the server boot power consumption.
⚫Intel® Intelligent Power Capability allows a processor to be powered on or off based on
requirements.
⚫Low-voltage Intel®Xeon®Scalable processors consume less energy, ideally suited for
data centers and telecommunications environments constrained by power and thermal
limitations.
⚫SSDs consume 80% less power than HDDs.
