Figure 5-8 2-node HX5 with the 2-node scalability card indicated
The double-wide configuration consists of two connected HX5 servers. This configuration
consumes two blade slots and has the 2-node scalability card attached. The scaling is
performed through QPI scaling. The 2-node scalability card is not included with the server
and must be ordered separately, as listed in Table 5-9.
Table 5-9 HX5 2-Node Scalability Kit
The IBM HX5 2-Node Scalability Kit contains the 2-node scalability card, plus the necessary
