Modular Chassis Hardware Configuration
The MX7000 Modular chassis currently offers two different servers that support NVDIMM-N: MX740c (2-socket) and MX840c
(4-socket). In order for an power loss condition to be detected, the chassis must have at least one Management Module
installed. While not a requirement for NVDIMM-N support, dual Management Modules provide additional redundancy and
robustness to the NVDIMM-N solution.
If a user is operating a chassis with NVDIMM-N equipped servers and a Management Module firmware update is performed, it
is recommended that the chassis be equipped with two Management Modules. If the chassis has a single Management Module,
the NVDIMM-Ns in the server may be placed in read-only mode during the Management Module upgrade.
NVDIMM-N Module Details
Figure 6 is a picture of a typical NVDIMM-N, and it shows the location of status LEDs on the NVDIMM-N. Table 3 describes the
NVDIMM-Ns LED behavior during different modes of operation.
The DIMM has the following key features:
● JEDEC compliant DDR4 288-pin NVDIMM-N
● 16GB RDIMM, PC4-2666
● SLC Flash for backup
● In-system health monitoring and alert
● On-board I
