IBM BladeCenter HX5 15
Processor options
The HX5 supports the processor options listed in the following tables. The server supports one or two
processors. It is supported to have one processor in a single-node + MAX5 configuration. It is also
supported to have one processor in each node of a two-node system. You will, however, get better
memory performance if both processor sockets are populated in each HX5.
Note that not all processors can scale to two nodes. These are indicated in the tables. In addition, the
E7-2820 and the E7-2803 also do not support the attachment of the MAX5. This is a technical restriction
of these specific processors.
