High-performance blade server optimized for virtualization

Please see the Legal Information section for important notices and information.

• Up to two multi-core Xeon processors (up to twelve cores per server).

• A choice of processor speeds from 1.6 to 3.6GHz, up to 12MB of shared cache, and a choice of

power draw from 40W to 130W.

• A choice of memory speeds from 800MHz to 1066MHz or 1333MHz.

• Up to 288GB of system memory in 18 DIMM slots.

• Up to two internal hot-swap 1.8-inch solid state drives, and access to terabytes of external storage

via the BladeCenter S chassis or IBM System Storage

SAN and NAS storage devices. SSDs

consume only 10-20% of the energy required by 2.5-inch HDDs.

• Two Gigabit Ethernet ports standard, plus optional 2-port or 4-port expansion cards or a

BladeCenter PCI Express I/O Expansion Unit 3. In addition, the various BladeCenter chassis

offer a high degree of flexibility:

• A 30mm HS22V blade server can be upgraded, via the PCI Express I/O Expansion Unit 3. This

expandability allows configurations that are 30mm or 60mm wide, with a variety of I/O options,

depending on need.

• When installed in a BladeCenter H high-speed switch bay, the optional Multi-Switch Interconnect

Module doubles the number of Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel connections to every blade in

the chassis (up to 8 or 12 ports, depending on the blade server).

• Xeon processor-based HS22V blades can be used in the same chassis as Intel processor-based

HC10, HS12, HS20, HS21, HS21 XM, HS22, HS40, and HX5 blades; AMD Opteron processor-

based LS20, LS21, LS22, LS41 and LS42 blades; IBM PowerPC

processor-based JS20, JS21,

and JS22 blades; POWER6

processor-based JS12, JS23, and JS43 Express blades; POWER7

processor-based PS700, PS701, and PS702 blades; Cell Broadband Engine™ processor-based

QS21; and IBM PowerXCell™ processor-based QS22 blades. Depending on the blade servers used,

the various BladeCenter chassis support Microsoft

Windows

, Linux

, Novell Netware, IBM AIX

IBM i, and Sun Solaris 10 operating systems in the same chassis.

• Most HS/LS/JS/PS/QS blade servers ever released by IBM are supported in every BladeCenter

chassis ever released, going back to 2002

. Every switch module released by IBM is equally

compatible. (Ask HP and Dell how far back their compatibility goes.)

• A blade server has access to as many as 10 communication switches/bridges in a BladeCenter

H or 8 in a BladeCenter HT chassis. (Up to 4 switches in a BladeCenter E, S, or T chassis.) And the

switches can be Ethernet, iSCSI, SAS, InfiniBand, Fibre Channel, or anything else designed and

ServerProven

for BladeCenter use. Switches, bridges and interface cards are currently available

from such vendors as Brocade, Cisco , Intel, QLogic, Voltaire, and others, in addition to IBM/BNT.

Manageability

• The HS22V blade server includes an Integrated Management Module (IMM) to monitor server

availability, perform Predictive Failure Analysis, etc., and trigger IBM Systems Director alerts. The

IMM performs the functions of both the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) of earlier systems,

and the Remote Supervisor Adapter II, as well as remote presence/cKVM.

• Each BladeCenter chassis includes an Advanced Management Module to provide additional

systems management capabilities, including Web-based out-of-band control; virtual floppy and CD-

ROM support; latest OS failure screen capture; LDAP and SSL support; and remote redirection of

video, text, keyboard and mouse.

• Integrated industry-standard Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) next-generation BIOS.

New capabilities include:

 Human readable event logs; no more beep codes

 Complete setup solution by allowing adapter configuration function to be moved into UEFI

 Complete out-of-band coverage by the Advance Settings Utility to simplify remote setup

• Integrated industry-standard IPMI 2.0 support works with the IMM to alert IBM Systems Director to

anomalous environmental factors, such as voltage and thermal conditions. It also supports highly

secure remote power control.

• Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2 support.

• IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager, an IBM-exclusive, is designed to take

advantage of new system power management features, by monitoring actual power usage and

providing power consumption capping features. More accurate power usage data helps with data

center construction planning and the sizing of power and cooling needs, as well as allowing you to

use available power more efficiently.

• The HS22V supports remote presence/concurrent KVM (cKVM) and concurrent media (cMedia)

Some older chassis may require power module and management module upgrades. But the chassis itself, as well as fan/blower modules

and other components, are fully compatible.
