IBM BladeCenter HX5 Product Guide

IBM BladeCenter HX5 11
Two-node models
As shown in Part 5 of the standard models table, some models are designed to be used in a two-node
configuration. For these models, order one model with the two-node scalability kit and order one model
with the same processor without the scalability kit. For example, order model 7873-BAx and 7873-BHx
together. These models do not support the use of a MAX5.

* The HX5 supports either a MAX5 or the ability to expand to two nodes via the two-node scalability kit, however
both of these are not supported at the same time. Models as listed in Part 4 have the two-node scalability kit
standard (46M6975).
‡ With Xeon E7 processors, the memory speed in the HX5 and the MAX5 are the same.
§ All models contain an onboard 2-port Gigabit Ethernet controller. Some models also include an additional 10Gb
Expansion Card installed in the CFFh expansion slot, as follows:
(E1) Emulex 10GbE Virtual Fabric Adapter Advanced

(E2) Emulex 10GbE Virtual Fabric Adapter Advanced II
