Note: The operating system in the blade server must provide USB support for the blade server to recognize and use the keyboard, mouse, CD-ROM drive, and diskette drive. The Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE uses USB for internal communications with these devices. Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD62 Features The design of the blade server takes advantage of advancements in memory management and data storage. The blade server uses the following features and technologies: • Disk drive support The blade server supports up to two 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF) Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives. • Impressive performance using the latest microprocessor technology The blade server supports up to two Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® DP microprocessors. • Integrated network support The blade server comes with an integrated Broadcom BCM5704S Dual Gigabit Ethernet controller, which supports connection to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000Mbps network through an Ethernet-compatible switch module in the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE. The controller supports Wake on LAN® technology. • I/O-expansion The blade server has connectors on the system board for an optional expansion card, such as the Fibre Channel expansion card, for adding more network communication capabilities to the blade server. • Large system-memory capacity The blade server supports up to 16 GB of system memory. The memory controller provides support for up to four industry-standard 1.8 V, 240-pin, double-data-rate (DDR2-400), PC3200, registered synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) with error correcting code (ECC) DIMMs. • Light path diagnostics Light path diagnostics provides light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to help you diagnose problems. • Power throttling Each blade server is powered by two redundant power-supply modules. By enforcing a power policy known as power domain oversubscription, the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE can share the power load between two power modules to ensure efficient power for each device in the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE. This policy is enforced when the initial power is applied to the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE or when a blade server is inserted into the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE. You can configure and monitor the power environment by using the management module. For more information about configuring and using power throttling, see the management-module documentation. 4 Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD62 Installation and User's Guide

Server Compute Blade SBXD62 Features
The design of the blade server takes advantage of advancements in memory management
and data storage. The blade server uses the following features and technologies:
•
Disk drive support
The blade server supports up to two 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF) Serial Attached
SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives.
•
Impressive performance using the latest microprocessor technology
The blade server supports up to two Dual-Core Intel
®
Xeon

DP microprocessors.
•
Integrated network support
The blade server comes with an integrated Broadcom BCM5704S Dual Gigabit
Ethernet controller, which supports connection to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-
Mbps network through an Ethernet-compatible switch module in the Intel® Blade

Power throttling
Each blade server is powered by two redundant power-supply modules. By enforcing
a power policy known as power domain oversubscription, the Intel® Blade Server
Chassis SBCE can share the power load between two power modules to ensure
efficient power for each device in the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE. This policy
is enforced when the initial power is applied to the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE
or when a blade server is inserted into the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE. You
can configure and monitor the power environment by using the management module.
