bridge EN rocessors, a dual rocessor latform, and DDR3 Unbuffered/Register w/ ECC 800/1066/1333/
1600MHz for system memory. The core chi (core logic) used in the latform is Intel Patsburg-A.
The lanar dimension is 12x10.5 inch, 8 layers PCB board im lementing with one LGA-1356 (socket-B2)
CPU socket and on-board VRD12 to su ort rimary rocessor. The secondary rocessor is su orted by
an o tional CPU riser card. It im lements one LGA-1356 (socket-B2) CPU socket and VRD12 to su ort dual
rocessors mode. The lanar also im lements other system devices such as on-board SATA host controller,
on-board Intel I350 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet controller, on-board Gra hics controller, other system I/O
functions, and on-board iBMC, Renesas SH7757 (IPMI 2.0) w/ RTMM H8S-2117A for system management.
The server is scalable in cost, configuration, erformance and availability. With im roved system Reliability/
Availability/ Serviceability (RAS) and System Management rocessor, the memory RAS features include on-
line s are memory, memory mirroring and chi -kill su ort. The FoD features include the onboard Ethernet
u grade from 2 orts to 4 orts, Patsburg A to K u grade key and SW/HW RAID5 u grade key.
The server comes with a limited warranty. For information about the terms of the warranty and getting service
and assistance, see the Lenovo Warranty Information document that comes with the server.
The server contains X-Architecture next generation technologies, which hel increase erformance and
reliability. For more information, see “What your server offers” on age 10 and “Reliability, availability, and
serviceability” on age 14.
