IBM BladeCenter HS22V
IBM Redbooks Product Guide
The IBM® BladeCenter® HS22V is a two-way high-performance blade server that offers outstanding
performance for virtualization with new levels of memory capacity and CPU performance. It offers 18
DIMM slots supporting up to 288 GB of DDR3 memory for more and larger virtual machines per blade.
HS22V supports durable solid-state drives and hardware RAID 0,1 providing outstanding reliability when
virtualizing multiple workloads on a single blade. Combining the HS22V with Virtual Fabric from IBM
BladeCenter provides flexible, easy, fast, and reliable I/O that supports up to 40 GbE to each blade and
up to a total of eight ports of I/O per blade.
The HS22V is shown in Figure 1.

Did you know?
BladeCenter HS22V delivered leadership performance for a 2-processor blade server running
virtualization applications based on SPECvirt_sc2010 benchmark. The HS22V achieved an overall
performance score of 1,367 @ 84 VMs. The HS22V was configured with the Intel Xeon Processor X5690
(3.46GHz with 256KB L2 cache per core and 12MB L3 cache per processor—2 processors/12 cores/6
cores per chip), 288 GB of memory, two 50 GB disk drives, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0, and
Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor.

Chassis support
The HS22V is supported in the various BladeCenter chassis as listed in the following table.

HS22V with up to 95W CPUs Some limits* No Full Full Full Full
* See Table 4 for details
The number of HS22V servers supported in each chassis depends on the thermal design power of the
processors used in the servers as shown in Table 6. The table uses the following conventions:
A green square in a cell means the chassis can be filled with HS22V blade servers up to the

maximum number of blade bays in the chassis (for example, 14 blades in the BladeCenter H).
A yellow square in a cell means that the maximum number of HS22V blades that the chassis can hold

is fewer than the total available blade bays (for example, 12 in a BladeCenter H). Other bays in the
chassis may or may not be occupied by servers other than HS22 and HS22V depending on the
combination and some bays must remain empty. Consult the BladeCenter Interoperability Guide for
specifics: http://ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5073016
Note: The HS22V is not supported in the BladeCenter E with power supplies smaller than 2000 W.

Memory options
The HS22V blade server has 18 DIMM slots. When one processor is installed, then only nine DIMM slots
can be used. When two processors are installed, then all 18 DIMM slots can be used. However, the
maximum amount of DIMMs that can be installed is also limited by the type and rank of DIMM used, as
follows:
Up to 18 single-rank RDIMMs (nine per processor) for a maximum of 72 GB (18x 4 GB)

Up to 18 dual-rank RDIMMs (nine per processor) for a maximum of 288 GB (18x 16 GB) for Xeon

5600 series and 144 GB (18x 8 GB) for Xeon 5500 series
Each CPU has three memory channels, and there are three DIMMs per channel. RDIMMs can be
populated three per channel. Maximum memory speed is limited by memory speed supported by the
specific CPU (that is, if the CPU supports only 1066 MHz, then the memory speed cannot exceed 1066
MHz in any case), and by the number and type of DIMMs installed (whatever is lower), as follows:
Intel Xeon 5600 series processors:

1333 MHz when one or two single-rank or dual-rank RDIMMs per channel are installed

800 MHz when three single-rank or dual-rank RDIMMs per channel are installed


IBM BladeCenter HS22V 8
Quad-core Intel Xeon 5500 series processors:

1333 MHz when one single-rank or dual-rank RDIMM per channel is installed

1066 MHz when two single-rank or dual-rank RDIMMs per channel are installed

800 MHz when three single-rank or dual-rank RDIMMs per channel are installed

Dual-core Intel Xeon 5500 series processors only support memory speed at 800 MHz.

The HS22V supports both 1.5 V and 1.35 V DIMMs. Intel Xeon 5600 series processor can run DIMMs at
either 1.35 V or 1.5 V depending on DIMM voltage and configuration, while Intel Xeon 5500 series
processors run DIMMs at 1.5 V in all cases. Mixing 1.5 V and 1.35 V DIMMs in the same server is
supported, in such a case all DIMMs operate at 1.5 V. With 1.35V DIMMs if there is a need to run two
DIMMs per channel at 1333 MHz then DIMMs will operate at 1.5 V.
The following memory protection technologies are supported:
ECC

ChipKill (for x4-based RDIMMs)

Memory Mirroring

Memory Sparing

If Memory Mirroring is used then DIMMs must be installed in pairs (minimum of one pair per each CPU),
and both DIMMs in a pair must be identical in type and size. If Memory Sparing is used then DIMMs must
be installed in sets of three, and all DIMMs in the same set must be identical in type and size. Memory
sparing is only supported for Intel Xeon 5600 series processor-based systems.
The following two tables list memory options available for HS22V server - one of 5500 series processors
and one for 5600 series processors. DIMMs can be installed one at a time, but for performance reasons,
install them in sets of three, one for each of the three memory channels.

Internal disk storage options
The HS22V blade server features an onboard LSI Logic 53C1064E SAS controller that connect to two
SAS ports at the front of the HS22V motherboard. The LSI Logic 53C1064E SAS controller provides RAID
0 or RAID 1 capability and supports up to two internal non-hot-swap 1.8-inch solid state drives (SSDs).
The following table lists the solid state drive options available for internal storage.

I/O expansion options
The HS22V server offers the following PCI Express 2.0 slots. Neither are hot-swap.
CIOv expansion slot

CFFh expansion slot

The CIOv I/O expansion connector provides I/O connections through the midplane of the chassis to
modules located in bays 3 and 4 of a supported BladeCenter chassis. It is a PCIe 2.0 x8 slot.
The CFFh I/O expansion connector provides I/O connections to high-speed switch modules that are
located in bays 7, 8, 9, and 10 of a BladeCenter H or BladeCenter HT chassis, or to switch bay 2 in a
BladeCenter S chassis. The CFFh slot is a PCIe x16 slot.
The HS22V optionally supports the IBM BladeCenter PCI Express I/O Expansion Unit (PCI Express Gen
1). The expansion blade provides the capability to attach selected PCI Express cards to the HS22V. This
capability is ideal for many applications that require special telecommunications network interfaces or
hardware acceleration using a PCI Express card.
The IBM BladeCenter PCI Express I/O Expansion Unit has two standard full-length PCI Express slots that
support the attachment of two full sized, 25 W PCI Express adapters. These two slots are PCI Express
x16 slots mechanically, however they can operate only at speeds up to x8. The unit provides two power
connectors that can be used to provide 12V, with a cable, to PCI Express adapters that have external
power connectors. One expansion blade can be attached to an HS22V. Each expansion blade occupies a
bay in the BladeCenter chassis. See the following table.

Remote management
The server contains an IBM Integrated Management Module (IMM) which interfaces with the advanced
management module in the BladeCenter chassis. The combination of these two provides advanced
service-processor control, monitoring, and an alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a
threshold or if a system component fails, LEDs on the system board are lit to help you diagnose the
problem, records the error in the event log, and alerts you to the problem. A virtual presence capability is
also available for remote server management capabilities.
Remote server management is provided through industry-standard interfaces:
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Version 2.0

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Version 3

Common Information Model (CIM)

Web browser

The server also supports virtual media and remote control features which provide the following functions:
Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600x1200 at 75 Hz, regardless of the system

state
Remotely accessing the server using the keyboard and mouse from a remote client

Mapping the CD or DVD drive, diskette drive, and USB flash drive on a remote client, and mapping

ISO and diskette image files as virtual drives that are available for use by the server
Uploading a diskette image to the IMM memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive

