1.3 Logical Structure
Figure 1-3 2288X V5 logical structure
● The server supports one or two Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors.
● The server supports up to 24 memory modules.
● The CPUs (processors) interconnect with each other through two UPI links at
a speed of up to 10.4 GT/s.
● Three PCIe riser cards connect to the processors through PCIe buses to provide
ease of expandability and connection.
● CPUs 1 and 2 each support one OCP 2.0 mezzanine card.
● The RAID controller card on the mainboard connects to CPU 1 through PCIe
buses, and connects to the drive backplane through SAS signal cables. A
variety of drive backplanes are provided to support dierent local storage
congurations.
● The LBG-2 Platform Controller Hub (PCH) supports two 10GE optical LOM
ports.
● The server uses Hi1710 management chip and supports a video graphic array
(VGA) port, a management network port, and a debug serial port.

trigger an NMI, press this button or click the
button on the iBMC WebUI.
NOTICE
● Press the NMI button only when the OS is
abnormal. Do not press this button when the
server is operating properly. An NMI does not
gracefully shut down the OS and causes service
interruption and data loss.
● Before pressing the NMI button, ensure that the
OS has the NMI processing program. Otherwise,
the OS may crash. Exercise caution when pressing
this button.
