The HP ProLiant BL620c G7 Server Blade offers unmatched scalability, performance, and economics in a two-processor Intel® Xeon® server blade. Two models are now available, one optimized for the Intel® Xeon® E7-2800 series and the other optimized for the Intel® Xeon® 6500/7500 series. Fully utilizing the design architecture of the Intel® Xeon® 7500 chipset, up to two top performing 130W processors are supported along with 32 RDIMM slots providing 1.0TB (BL620c G7 Intel Xeon E7-2800 models) and 512MB (BL620c G7 Intel Xeon 6500/7500 models) of memory for ultimate virtualization efficiency. The four included 10Gb FlexFabric converged network adapter ports with built-in autosensing 1Gb/10Gb Ethernet, FCoE, Flex-10, hardware-based accelerated iSCSI, iSCSI boot, and TCP/IP offload engine combined with the three PCIe Gen2 mezzanine expansion slots yield an outstanding 96Gb of total I/O bandwidth.

The BL620c G7 is also perfect for 2P applications requiring performance and features greater than typical dual processor (DP) Intel® Xeon® 5000 offerings. The scalability of the BL620c G7 offers up to 800% the memory capacity and increased memory performance along with an extensive list of memory RAS features, 2,000% the embedded Ethernet bandwidth, 400% the virtual machines (VMs), 300% the on-board I/O expansion slots, and 480% the total I/O bandwidth than other 2P Intel® Xeon® servers available today.

Traditional multi-processor (MP) class server blades are typically unbalanced providing processor performance and density at the expense of proportional memory capacity and I/O bandwidth. As such, these unbalanced servers fail when faced with larger databases and higher-density virtualization applications. Today, you have a better alternative. By designing a balanced architecture, the BL620c G7 is a very progressive 2P MP blade offering that ensures that all subsystems can be used effectively under a broad range of enterprise applications and workloads. The 2P BL620c G7 along with the 4P BL680c G7 together provide a complete Intel® Xeon® portfolio creating a new class of scale-up HP ProLiant server blades delivering the reliability and performance you need to handle demanding workloads with confidence.

Availability

BL620c G7 Memory

  • HP Memory Quarantine (Intel MCA Recovery) Ready. In conjunction with the operating system support, allows a server to recover from uncorrectable memory errors which would have otherwise caused a system crash. (BL620c G7 Intel Xeon E7-2800 models).
  • Double Device Data Correction (DDDC) Ready. DDDC provides the ability to save a DIMM from being replaced due to a bad dram device (BL620c G7 Intel Xeon E7-2800 models).
  • Data Bus ECC protection for automatic correction from a single data bit error and detection of double data error bits.
  • Advanced ECC/SDDC provides continued memory operation in the event of a single memory device failure and allows removal of a single DRAM from the memory map if it exhibits a failure and recovers its data into a new device.
    • Supports for both x4 and x8 Intel® SDDC.
  • Demand Scrubbing writes corrected data back to the memory once a correctable error is detected on a read transaction.
  • DIMM Address/Control Bus Parity Protection provides a means to detect and protect command and address errors.
  • Memory Failover uses a mirrored DIMM once a failed DIMM in a mirrored set is detected.
  • Memory Mirroring provides a copy of memory stored with dynamic failover in case of failure within socket (intra-socket) memory mirroring.
    • The system will operate in non-hemisphere mode when mirroring is enabled.
  • Rank Sparring (On Line Spare) provides dynamic failover to a spare DIMM rank or spare rank pair behind the same memory controller. Cannot be enabled concurrently with memory mirroring.
    NOTE: HP offers the rank sparing rather than DIMM sparing as rank sparing uses less spare memory resulting in less overhead.
  • Failed DIMM Isolation identifies a specific failing DIMM lockstep pair thereby enabling the user to replace only the failed DIMM pair. Identifies a single DIMM for correctable errors and DIMM pair for uncorrectable errors.

Virtualization

  • Intel® VT-x (FlexMigration, FlexPriority, and Extended Page Tables) provides:
    • Platform control between the VMM and guest OSs for faster, more reliable and secure transfers.
    • VM migration features that enhance flexibility for failover, load balancing, disaster recovery, and maintenance.
  • Intel® VT-x Real Mode & Pause Loop Exiting (BL620c G7 Intel Xeon E7-2800 models):
    • Real Mode allows guests to operate in real mode, removing the performance overhead and complexity of an emulator.
    • Pause Loop Exiting provides detection of spin locks in guest software and helps avoid lock-holder preemption to reduce overhead and improve performance.
  • Intel® VT-d (Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O) enables the VMM to assign specific I/O devices to specific guest OSs improving security and availability.

Mezzanine options and I/O

  • Optional dual-port Fibre Channel mezzanine cards for redundant SAN connections.
  • Optional dual-port InfiniBand mezzanine cards for redundant high performance connections.
  • Four embedded Ethernet adapter ports for redundant LAN connections.
  • Multiple mezzanine I/O expansion slots each supported multiple data paths routed to redundant interconnect modules.
  • Network Adapter Teaming (Bonding) provides network fault tolerance, transmit load balancing, and switch-assisted load balancing.

Processor/Chipset

  • Processor Internal Sensors & Thermal Control protection against over-temperature conditions.
  • Cache parity/ECC protects cache data from accidental data corruption due to particle hits.
  • Machine Check Architecture (MCA) detects and captures hardware errors such as system bus, ECC, parity, cache, other.
  • Enhanced MCA handling & error logging builds upon the original Machine Check Architecture to: offers more "banks" and increased "resolution" for reporting errors that cause MCA events and 2) sets check flags for the OS to poll.
  • External Bus Error Recovery (ECC) enables automatic correction from a single data bit error and detection of double data error bits on the memory data bus.
  • Corrupt Data Containment tags faulty data before it is consumed (often called data poisoning) to limit the impact to the currently running program and to greatly reduce the need to reset the system.
  • On-Die Error Protection protects registers from particle hits.

Storage

  • Two hot-plug SAS/SATA/SSD drive bays.
  • Integrated HP Smart Array P410i Controller with RAID 0 and 1 standard
  • Integrated HP Smart Array P410i Controller upgradeable firmware with recovery ROM capability
  • HP Smart Array P410i flash backed write cache (FBWC) options to 1GB.
  • Optional multiple Smart Array RAID mezzanine controllers (with BBWC and FBWC) for direct attach and shared SAS storage external to the c-Class enclosure.
  • Optional HP D2200sb Storage Blade for direct attached and shared storage within the c-Class enclosure.

Intel® QuickPath Interconnect (QPI)

  • QPI Link Retry restarts as cycle when a failure is detected on the link.
  • QPI Clock Failover redirects the forwarded clock to one of the two failover clock lanes in the event of a forwarded clock failure.
  • QPI Self-Healing enables a QPI link to map a failed lane and downshift from full to ½ width (or ½ width to ¼ width) QPI link if there are errors on the link.
  • QPI Cycle Redundancy Checking (CRC) automatically detects data errors using a checksum of either 8 bits or 16 bits.
  • QPI Poisoning tags an erroneous packet with a "poisoned bit" on the QPI fabric.
  • QPI Lane Failover identifies a faulty lane within data paths removing them from operation reducing command/address errors.

Server Blade Enclosure Infrastructure

  • Up to 10 hot-plug redundant Active Cool fans per enclosure.
  • Up to 6 hot-plug high efficiency redundant power supplies per enclosure.
  • Dual grid power providing redundant rack enclosure power feeds to the enclosure.
  • Up to eight interconnect modules per enclosure providing four simultaneous redundant fabrics for FlexFabric, Virtual Connect Ethernet, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, iSCSI, SAS, etc.
  • Optional enclosure redundant Onboard Administrator system management module.

Memory

NOTE: Standard memory configurations listed do not apply to "Factory Integrated Models."

Memory Subsystem Architecture

For maximum memory bandwidth, performance, and capacity, each Intel® Xeon® E7-2800 and 6500/7500 series processor socket contains two memory controllers. Each memory controller has two Intel Scalable Memory Interface (SMI) buses operating in lockstep for a total of four SMIs per processor. Each SMI in turn bus connects to an Intel® Scalable Memory Buffer (SMB). The purpose of the memory buffer is to convert the SMI to DDR3. Each of the four memory buffers has two DDR3 channels that support four RDIMMs each for a grand total of sixteen RDIMMs per installed processor (32 total RDIMMs per BL620c G7 server).

Maximum memory capacity is a function of the server model:

  • The BL620c G7 server models supporting Intel Xeon E7-2800 processors includes the new Intel® 7510 Scalable Memory Buffer supporting up to 32GB DDR3 RDIMMs providing 1.0TB of memory (32GB RDIMMs x 32 DIMM slots).
  • The BL620c G7 server models supporting Intel Xeon 6500/7500 processors support up to 16GB DDR3 RDIMMs providing 512MB of memory (16GB RDIMMs x 32 DIMM slots).

All RDIMMs will operate at the highest possible speed for a given processor. Memory speed is not affected by number of RDIMMs or ranks. However, memory speed is a function of the processor QPI bus speed per the following:

  • Processors with a QPI speed of 6.40GT will operate memory at 1066MHz
  • Processors with a QPI speed of 5.86GT will operate memory at 978MHz
  • Processors with a QPI speed of 4.80GT will operate memory at 800MHz

DDR3 and DDR3L Memory Population Guidelines
An overview of the RDIMM installation guidelines are summarized below. For detailed memory configuration rules and guidelines, please see the BL620c G7 user guide at: www.hp.com/support and the Online DDR3 Memory Configuration Tool at: www.hp.com/go/ddr3memory-configurator.

  1. Install only HP BL620c G7 supported DDR3 and DDR3L RDIMMs.
  2. RDIMMs must be installed for processor 1.
  3. Populate RDIMM slots for a processor only if the processor is installed.
  4. To maximize performance in multi-processor configurations, distribute the total memory capacity between all processors as evenly as possible.
  5. The minimum configuration is two RDIMMs installed on processor 1.
  6. RDIMMs must be installed in pairs with identical characteristics. When possible, for configuration simplicity, HP recommends using RDIMMs with identical part numbers throughout the system.
  7. For best performance, HP recommends that RDIMM pairs be populated in sequence by letter designation. Install RDIMM pair (4A, 5A) first, followed by RDIMM pair (12B, 16B), RDIMM pair (2C, 7C), RDIMM pair (10D, 14D), RDIMM pair (3E, 6E), RDIMM pair (11F, 15F), and RDIMM pair (1G, 8G).
  8. When installing mixed rank RDIMMs for any processor, RDIMMs with the highest number of ranks must be installed in the white RDIMM connector locations. This guarantees proper electrical signaling on the DDR3 channel since RDIMMs with higher rank counts present larger electrical loading on the DDR3 channel and must be populated at the end point of the channel.
  9. 1.5V DDR3 and 1.35V DDR3L RDIMMs may be installed within the same socket. In this case, all RDIMMs on that socket will operate at 1.5V.
  10. The BL680c G7 supports memory hemisphere mode (for a high-performance memory interleaving technology) as well as several advanced memory modes (AMP) including advanced ECC, online spare, and mirrored memory. Please see the BL680c G7 user guide at: www.hp.com/support for a description of each of these features and their memory configuration guidelines.
  11. There are several additional recommended steps for memory performance optimization, please see the BL680c G7 user guide at: www.hp.com/support for a complete list.
