4.1.3 IBM Flex System p24L Compute Node
The IBM Flex System p24L Compute Node shares several similarities to the IBM
Flex System p260 Compute Node in that it is a half-wide, Power Systems
compute node with two POWER7 processor sockets, 16 memory slots, two I/O
adapter slots, and an option for up to two internal drives for local storage. The
IBM Flex System p24L Compute Node is optimized for low-cost
Linux on Power Systems Servers installations.
The IBM Flex System p24L Compute Node has the following features:
򐂰 Up to 16 POWER7 processing cores
򐂰 Sixteen DDR3 memory DIMM slots that support Active Memory Expansion
򐂰 Supports Very Low Profile (VLP) and Low Profile (LP) DIMMs
򐂰 Two P7IOC I/O hubs
򐂰 RAID-compatible SAS controller that support up to two SSD or HDD drives
򐂰 Two I/O adapter slots
򐂰 Flexible Support Processor (FSP)
򐂰 System management alerts
򐂰 IBM Light Path Diagnostics
򐂰 USB 2.0 port
򐂰 IBM EnergyScale technology
The system board layout for the IBM Flex System p24L Compute Node is
identical to the IBM Flex System p260 Compute Node and is shown in Figure 4-2
on page 66.
