FeatureBenefits
Modular system delivering leadership performance efficiency
  • Ultra-slim and powerful blade design delivers high density without sacrificing server processor performance
  • Smarter design can substantially reduce power consumption per blade compared to competitive 1U/blade offerings, potentially yielding better performance/watt
  • Easily add or change blades without disrupting the operation of other blades installed in the chassis
Supports up to two Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processors with up to 1333 MHz front-side bus with a shared 6 MB level 2 (L2) cache
  • The shared 6 MB L2 cache provides better performance for both single and multi-threaded applications
  • Access to larger cache means faster data access and improved performance of content creation and entertainment applications
  • Equipped with Intel Hyper-Threading technology, the Intel Xeon Processor delivers server performance ideal for compute-intensive, next-generation network and IT application workloads
Supports up to two Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processors with up to 1333MHz front-side bus with a shared 2x6MB (12MB) L2 cache
  • Delivers ultimate processor performance with eight cores using larger and better optimised 12MB L2 cache
  • Maximise multi-threaded applications for faster and concurrent execution
Up to 16GB Fully Buffered Dual inline memory module (DIMM) internal memory with 4GB DIMM support
  • Fully Buffered DIMM memory delivers better memory bandwidth and reduced latency over double data rate (DDR) II resulting in better application performance
  • Error checking and correction (ECC) offer high performance with mainframe-inspired fault protection.
  • Expandable to 8 DIMMs (up to 32GB) with Memory and I/O Expansion Unit
64-bit extensions
  • The HS21 blade features the Intel Xeon Processor supporting Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology
  • Provides 64-bit addressability while supporting both 64- and 32-bit applications, allowing for a smooth transition to 64-bit enabled applications while leveraging the price and performance of existing applications
Support for up to five hard disk drives (HDDs)
  • The HS21 supports two internal small form factor (SFF) 10,000 revolutios per minute (rpm) Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) HDDs.
  • Optional three hot-swap 2.5" SAS HDDs with Storage and I/O blade (SIO)
  • The SIO also allows you to add an optional Redundant Array of Independent Disk (RAID)-5 controller with battery-backed cache
Integrated dual GbE connections
  • The TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) capable NICs are enabled to transmit large amounts of data at fast speeds for high-performance network applications
  • Robust design supports teaming and failover.
  • These NICs will also support RDMA and iSCSI via a software key (availability is planned)
Two high-availability midplane connections
  • Provides durable and reliable connections to all chassis resources
Blade server interconnects
  • Supports an optional 2-port (up to 4 GB per port) FC Expansion Card (Host Bus Adapter (HBA)) to deliver a high-performance, highly manageable storage area network (SAN)
  • Supports an optional 2-port GbE Expansion Card to enable additional Ethernet bandwidth and allow for connection to multiple local area network (LAN) segments
  • Supports an optional iSCSI Expansion Card for a lower cost storage option
  • Supports up to four PCI-Express connected high-speed fabrics, including 4X InfiniBand
Light path diagnostics standard
  • Provides quick and easy guide to troubleshoot your server for higher availability and system uptime
  • Independently powered, allowing you to remove the server from the chassis and still illuminate the light path light emitting diodes (LEDs)
PFA
  • Helps save you time and money by decreasing planned and unplanned downtime
  • Helps increase uptime by allowing you to receive proactive alerts as much as 24-48 hours in advance
Integrated System Management Processor
  • Increases server availability by continuously monitoring your system and notifying you of potential system failures or changes
IBM Director and IBM Director Extensions comprehensive systems management tools
  • Exploits hardware capabilities by surfacing pertinent information about your system, allowing you to automate a response
  • Helps increase uptime, reduce costs and improve productivity via advanced server management capabilities
  • Provides intelligent systems management for rock-solid reliability

1 Maximum internal hard disk and memory capacities may require the replacement of any standard hard drives and/or memory and the population of all hard disk bays and memory slots with the largest currently supported drives available. When referring to variable speed CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs and DVDs, actual playback speed will vary and is often less than the maximum possible.

2 When referring to storage capacity, GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes and TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Accessible capacity is less.
