2.8 Logical Structure
l The 5288 V3 in dual-CPU configuration supports two Intel
®
Xeon
®
E5-2600 v3
(Haswell-EP) series CPUs or two Intel
®
Xeon
®
E5-2600 v4 (Broadwell-EP) series
CPUs, and 16 DDR4 DIMMs. CPUs interconnect through QuickPath Interconnect (QPI)
buses, which provide the maximum transmission speed of 9.6 GT/s. Figure 2-21 shows
the logical structure of the 5288 V3 in dual-CPU configuration.
l Hard disks are managed by the RAID controller card or PCH.
l The CPUs connect to two PCIe riser cards through PCIe connectors. The riser cards
provide PCIe slots of various specifications. A RAID controller card can be combined
with the hard disk backplane to form a hard disk interface module, which connects to a
CPU through PCIe connectors.
NOTE
The 5288 V3 supports a maximum of two Intel
®
Xeon
®
E5-2600 v3 series CPUs or two Intel
®
Xeon
®
E5-2600 v4 series CPUs. For details about the CPU positions, see 2.6 Mainboard Layout. The server in
single-CPU configuration does not support a PCIe riser card.
