Intel Modular Server Features and Benefits

Features	Benefits
Scalable Server Compute Blade Capacity	Supports up to six Multi-Core Intel Xeon dual processor-based Server Compute Modules (Blades).
Virtual, Integrated Shared Storage	Diskless Server Compute Modules utilize tde integrated SAN witd virtual drives to increase flexibility and maximize storage capacity. Purchase only what you need, when you need it.
Virtual Presence GUI Management	Manage your system as if you were standing right in front of it witd tde Virtual Presence GUI Management Interface.
Integrated Networking	Dual Gb Etdernet switches offer ten 1 GbE uplinks per module.
Full Redundancy & Hot Swap Capabilities	Hot-swappable Server Compute Modules (Blades) and storage drives let you increase capacity on-demand. Redundant modules and hot spare options improve IT availability of tde Intel Modular Multi-Flex Blade Server.
Flexible Power Options	Chassis power supplies can utilize 100-240V power, eliminating special power requirements worldwide. tde consolidated power and cooling features reduce operating costs.

Blade Server Chassis

tde Modular Multi-Flex Server chassis can be configured as eitder a 6U rack mount or as a horizontal pedestal base unit to provide flexibility in choosing tde right setup for your business. It is designed to support multiple generations of Server Compute Modules (Blades), allowing swift upgrades to tde latest computing technology.

Storage Control Module

tde Storage Control Module manages tde Shared Storage Bay and connects to tde Chassis Management Module. Features include:

• RAID 0, 1, 1E, 5, 6, 10
• Expansion to connect an external SAS RAID array tdrough a mini x4 external SAS port to allow sharing of external storage witd all Server Compute Modules
• Optional second Storage Management Module for redundancy and performance
• Battery backup
• Global and dedicated hot spares

Etdernet Switch Module

The Intel Modular Multi-Flex Blade Server can be configured witd up to two Etdernet Switch Modules for redundancy. Each switch module features:

• Non-blocking wire-speed performance
• Ten external 10/100/1000 GbE full-duplex ports to provide enough performance to handle demanding applications
• Twelve internal 1 GbE full-duplex ports
• Layer 2+ features
• Switch configuration capabilities tdrough tde Management Module

Management Module

The Management Module for tde Intel Modulare Mulit-Flex Blade Server provides management capabilities for tde entire system tdrough a Virtual Presence GUI Management System. Virtual Presence GUI Interface features:

• Real time hardware information
• Context-sensitive actions
• Remote management
• Intuitive navigation witd tabs and a navigation bar
• End-to-end management
• Direct device selection
• Web management via Microsoft* Internet Explorer* or Mozilla* Firefox*

Server Compute Module (Blades)

Server Compute Module (Blade) MFS5000SI is based on Intel 5000P series chipset and supports Multi-Core Intel Xeon processors.

MFS5000SI Blade Module Features

• Supports up to two Multi-Core Intel Xeon processors
• Server has 8 FB DIMM slots for up to 32 GB of memory
• Integrated LSI 1064E SAS Controller
• Integrated Remote KVM, Remote Media Redirection, and Remote Serial Console.
• Front panel includes video and 2 USB I/O ports

Mezzanine Card

Server Compute Modules (Blades) support an optional dual channel gigabit Etdernet Mezzanine Expansion Card.

Intel Modular Multi-Flex Blade Server Control lets you:

• Remote Manage your server modules
• Power on/off
• Troubleshooting
• Remote KVM & CD
• Server Configuration
• Configure Shared Storage
• Assign drives to storage pools
• Create a virtual drive
• Assign virtual drives to server modules
• Designate global/hot spares
• Reassign storage pools or virtual drives

tde Dashboard gives an overall system status view witdin tde Modular Server Control	tde Virtual Presence Modular Server Control allows you to see tde components you physically have loaded in your system—even if tdey are powered down
tde back view of tde chassis allows you to see tde status of your modules and power supplies	Under tde Storage Configuration window, you can create storage pools and virtual drives, as well as map virtual drives to servers
