NOTE
l
B/D/F stands for Bus/Device/Function Number.
l
Root Port (B/D/F) indicates the B/D/F of a CPU internal PCIe root port. Device (B/D/F) indicates
the B/D/F (displayed on the OS) of an onboard or external PCIe port.
l
The PCIe slots that support full-height full-length PCIe cards are backwards compatible with full-
height half-length or half-height half-length PCIe cards.
l
The PCIe slots that support PCIe x16 cards are backwards compatible with PCIe x8, PCIe x4, and
PCIe x1 cards.
l
This table lists the default values of B/D/F. If the CPU sockets are not fully populated or a PCIe
card with a PCI bridge is configured, the values of B/D/F may differ.
l
The BIOS of the V5 platform uses the UEFI mode by default. If the legacy mode is used, ensure that
the sum of option ROMs of all PCIe devices does not exceed the upper limit (128 KB) specified by
Intel. Otherwise, some PCIe devices may become unavailable.
PCIe GPU Configuration Rules
l
A two-slot PRM in I/O module 1 or 2 can house a maximum of one single-slot or dual-
slot PCIe x16 GPU in slot 1 or 4.
l
A one-slot PRM in I/O module 3 can house a maximum of one single-slot half-height
half-length PCIe x16 GPU.
l
A three-slot PRM in I/O module 1 or 2 does not support GPUs.
l
A two-slot PRM in I/O module 3 does not support GPUs.
l
The server supports a maximum of two dual-slot GPUs or three single-slot GPUs. All
GPUs except half-height half-length P4 GPUs must be installed in dedicated riser cards.
2.11 Fan Modules
The fan speed can be adjusted. In normal cases, the fans run at the minimum speed. If the
server temperature increases, the speed will increase accordingly.

4.1.1 Space and Airflow Requirements
To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow
requirements:
l
Install the server in an access-restricted area.
l
Keep the area in which the server is located clean and tidy.
l
To facilitate heat dissipation and maintenance, keep a clearance of 800 mm (31.50 in.)
between walls and the front and rear doors of the cabinet.
l
Do not block the air intake vents. Otherwise, air intaking and heat dissipation will be
affected.
l
The air conditioning system in the equipment room provides enough wind to ensure
proper heat dissipation of all components.
The server draws in cool air from the front of the cabinet and exhausts hot air from the rear.
Therefore, the front and rear of the cabinet must be well ventilated for optimal heat
dissipation. Figure 4-1 shows the direction of heat dissipation.

4.5.1 Cabling Overview
Basic Guidelines
NOTICE
To ensure optimal heat dissipation, do not block the air exhaust vents of PSUs.
l
Lay out and bind cables of different types (such as power and signal cables) separately.
Cables of the same type must be in the same direction. Route cables near each other in
crossover mode. Ensure that the distance between power cables and signal cables is
greater than or equal to 30 mm (1.18 in.) when you lay out the cables in parallel.
l
If you cannot identify cables according to the cable labels, attach an engineering label to
each cable.
l
Protect cables from burrs, heat sinks, and active accessories, which may damage the
insulation layers of cables.
l
Ensure that the length of cable ties for binding cables is appropriate. Do not connect two
or more cable ties together for binding cables. After binding cables properly, trim off the
excess lengths of the cable ties and ensure that the cuts are neat and smooth.
l
Ensure that cables are properly routed, supported, or fixed within the cable troughs
inside the cabinet to prevent loose connections and cable damage.
l
Coil any surplus lengths of cables and bind them to proper positions inside the cabinet.
l
Route cables straightly and bind them neatly. The bending radius of a cable varies
depending on the position where the cable is bent.
–
If you need to bend a cable in its middle, the bending radius must be at least twice
the diameter of the cable.
–
If you need to bend a cable at the output terminal of a connector, the bending radius
must be at least five times the cable diameter, and the cable must be bound before
bending.
l
Do not use cable ties at a place where the cables are bent. Otherwise, the cables may
break.
Common Methods
The methods of routing cables inside a cabinet are described as follows:
l
Determine overhead cabling and underfloor cabling for power cables based on specific
conditions of the equipment room. Specifically, take into consideration the AC power
distribution frame (PDF), surge protector, and terminal block.
l
Determine overhead cabling and underfloor cabling for service data cables based on
specific conditions of the equipment room.
l
Place the connectors of all service data cables at the bottom of the cabinet so that the
connectors are difficult to reach.

4.5.3 Connecting a Network Cable
Before connecting or replacing a network cable, use a network cable tester to check whether
the new network cable is functional.
The new and old cables must be of the same model or be compatible.
Before installing a network cable to a network port, check that the network cable connector is
intact and the pins have no sundries or deformation.
Step 1 Wear an ESD wrist strap. For details, see 12 Preventing Electrostatic Discharge.
Step 2 Check the model of the new network cable.
A network cable with the shielding function is recommended. According to professional EMC
test results, when static is generated, a network cable without the shielding function can cause
the system to suspend or restart.

Step 8 Run the following command to remove the NVMe SSD:
echo n > /sys/bus/pci/slots/Slot ID/power
In the command, the value of n can be 0 or 1. The value 0 indicates hot removal, and the value
1 indicates hot insertion. If the value 0 is used, the hot removal command is executed but the
NVMe SSD is not physically removed.
For example, to hot remove the NVMe SSD in slot 44, run the following command:
echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/slots/124/power
Step 9 If the OS uses the irqbalance service to balance CPU interrupts, run the following command
restart the service after performing a hot swap:
systemctl restart irqbalance.service
NOTE
For details about irqbalance service configuration management, see the related OS document.
Step 10 Observe the NVMe SSD indicators. When the green indicator is off and the yellow indicator
blinks at 0.5 Hz, slowly remove the NVMe SSD.
For details about how to manually remove an NVMe SSD, see 5.3.1 Removing a SAS/SATA
Drive.
Step 11 Place the removed drive into an ESD bag.
Step 12 After the orderly hot removal, change the value of the a8 register to f1.
setpci -s  a8.B=f1
: indicates the Root Port (B/D/F) of an NVMe SSD. For the values, see Table 5-1.
NOTE
l
You do not need to modify the a8 register value when 24 x 2.5-inch NVMe SSDs are configured.
You can skip this step.

5.13.1 DIMM Compatibility Information
NOTICE
DIMMs in the same server must be of the same model.
Comply with the following rules when configuring DIMMs:
1.
The server does not support use of different types of DIMMs. Use either RDIMMs or
LRDIMMs.
2.
Each channel supports a maximum of eight ranks.
NOTE
A channel supports more than eight ranks for LRDIMMs, because a quad-rank LRDIMM
generates the same electrical load as a single-rank RDIMM on a memory bus.
3.
The maximum number of DIMMs that can be installed on the server depends on the
number of CPUs installed, DIMM type, number of ranks, and operating voltage. See
Maximum number of DIMMs in the following tables.
NOTE
Note the following rule:
Number of DIMMs per channel ≤ Number of ranks per channel/Number of ranks per DIMM
4.
All DIMMs in a server operate at the same speed, which is the lower of following:
–
Memory speed supported by a specific processor
–
The lowest of the maximum operating speeds for selected memory configurations
(See Maximum operating speed in the following tables.)

5.13.3 DIMM Ranks
Understanding single-rank, dual-rank, and quad-rank DIMMs is helpful for correctly
configuring memory protection modes. Some DIMM configuration requirements are based on
these classifications.
l
A single-rank DIMM has one set of memory chips that are accessed while data is written
to or read from the memory.
l
A dual-rank DIMM has two single-rank DIMMs on the same module, and only one rank
is accessible at a time.
l
A quad-rank DIMM has two dual-rank DIMMs on the same module, and only one rank
is accessible at a time.

The server memory control subsystem selects a proper rank within the DIMM when data is
written to or read from the DIMM.
Dual- and quad-rank DIMMs provide the greatest capacity with the existing memory
technology. For example, if the current DRAM technology supports 8 GB single-rank
DIMMs, a dual-rank DIMM can offer a capacity of 16 GB, and a quad-rank DIMM can offer
a capacity of 32 GB.
LRDIMMs are labeled as quad-rank DIMMs. There are four ranks of DRAM on the DIMM,
but the LRDIMM buffer creates an abstraction that allows the DIMM to appear as a logical
dual-rank DIMM to the system. The LRDIMM buffer also isolates the electrical loading of
the DRAM from the system to allow for faster operation. These two changes provide a higher
memory operating speed compared with quad-rank RDIMMs.

8.5 FusionServer Tools Toolkit
8.1 BIOS
The BIOS is the most basic software loaded to a computer hardware system. It provides an
abstraction layer between the computer hardware and the OS. It is used to perform hardware
initialization during the boot process and provide runtime services for the OS and programs.
Figure 8-1 shows the BIOS position in the system.
The BIOS data is stored on the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) flash memory. The BIOS
performs a power-on self-test (POST), initializes CPU and memory, checks the I/O and boot
device, and finally boots the OS. The BIOS also provides the advanced configuration and
power interface (ACPI) and hot swap.

Storage
l Supports various drive configurations. For details, see Table 2-8.
l Supports two M.2 SSD modules.
NOTE
l
An M.2 SSD is designed only for installing a Linux OS and functions as a
boot device. Small-capacity M.2 SDDs (such as 32 GB or 64 GB SSDs)
have short endurance and do not support logging. If a small-capacity M.2
SSD is used as the boot device, a dedicated log drive or log server is
required for logging.
For example, you can dump VMware logs in either of the following ways:
-Redirect /scratch. For details, visit https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/
1033696.
-Configure syslog. For details, visit https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/
2003322.
l
M.2 SSDs have short endurance and cannot be used as data storage
devices. M.2 SSDs have write-through risks in a short time, and cannot be
used in frequent data erase operations. SSDs or HDDs with enterprise-level
high DWPD can be used for data storage.
l
Installing write-intensive service software on M.2 SSDs will accelerate the
write life consumption and result in perpetual damage of M.2 SSDs.
Therefore, M.2 SSDs cannot be used for such services.
l
M.2 SSDs cannot be used in cache scenarios.
l Supports drive hot swap.
l Supports RAID 0, 1, 10, 1E, 5, 50, 6, and 60, provides a
supercapacitor to protect cache data from power failures, and supports
RAID level migration, drive roaming, self-diagnosis, and web-based
configuration.
l Allows a SAS card or SAS RAID controller card (with a maximum of
4 GB cache) to be configured on the mainboard to improve drive
storage performance and ensure user data security.
NOTE
If the BIOS is in Legacy mode, the server does not support a 4K drive as the
system boot drive.
