6. The modular “book” design also provides clients front and rear access to modular components
Primary I/O Book
Up to 2 types of IO Books, Half-Length and Full-Length
Each IO Book delivers an additional 3 PCIe slots
Hosts the IMM, PCIe slots, and the dedicated Mezz-LOM solution
This is the rear-view of the x3850 X6, once again sporting the modular rack design. The modular book design that is being featured here is around the IO books. The top left shows the rear of the x3850 X6, and starting from right to left, we have the Primary IO Book. This IO book hosts the integrated management module or IMM, PCIe slots, and the new dedicated Mezz-LOM slot. This book is standard in every server.
Let’s briefly talk about the the Mezz-LOM slot in the primary IO book as it is the new common networking form factor for several System x rack servers. Instead of designing a lan-on-motherboard or LOM down on the board, the LOM is placed on several mezzanine cards. These cards will support flavors of 1GbE copper and 10GbE fiber or copper. The x3850 X6 supports a dedicated slot for these Mezz-LOM cards. At launch, the x3850 X6 will support a quad port 1GbE copper card, a dual port 10GbE copper card, and a dual port 10GbE SFP+ fiber card. These cards host several key vendors such as Intel, Broadcom, and Emulex – giving clients maximum choice and flexibility.
To the left of the Primary IO book are optional IO books. Each optional IO book delivers an additional 3 PCIe slots – allowing the x3850 X6 to deliver up to 9 PCIe slots in the rear of the server. Optional IO books come in two flavors, a half-length IO book that supports 3 half-length, full-height PCIe cards, and a full-length IO book that supports 3 full-length, full-height PCIe cards. The full-length IO book support specialty Graphics or accelerator cards that may require 300W power. This is a big advancement for the x3850 because as it can support up to two of these power hungry graphics cards it can be a powerful offering for VDI and graphics intensive applications.
Clients can choose to install one or both or none of these optional IO books, and can clients select between having 6 half-lenfth, or 6 full-length or a mix of half-length and full-length slots through these optional IO books – to create that perfect fit for purpose configuration – maximizing flexibility while lowering the acquisition cost.
As you can see now, all of the components in the x3850 X6 are modular, and can be accessed from either the front or rear of the server – never a need to pull the actual chassis out of the server. Maximum agility to meet the client’s needs, maximum agility to grow, and maximum agility to deliver a lower cost of ownership.
Create the fit-for-purpose solution, whether clients need to support typical HBAs or specialty GPGPU cards
Mezz-LOM solution gives clients the ability to select the networking technology that fits their requirements 6

7. X3850/3950 X6 Compute Books
X6 Haswell will offer the choice of DDR3 or DDR4 Compute Books. Each Compute Book contains the Intel processor and 24 DDR3 or DDR4 DIMM slots. All Compute Books in the server must be the same type -- DDR3 or DDR4. (Within chassis, all books need to be same processor type and same memory type.)
12x DDR3 or DDR4 DIMM slots on right side of the Compute Book
12x DDR3 or DDR4 DIMM slots on left side of the Compute Book
Intel Xeon E v3 or E v3 processor
Note: DDR3 DIMMs can not be put into DDR4 compute books or visa versa.

Unlimited, simple, reliable scaling
Lenovo is the only SAP partner to offer linear scaling of our solution. This is based on the IBM General Parallel File System™ (GPFS™) software (high-performance, seamless expansion, data reliability between nodes without human involvement).
IBM GPFS was designed as a parallel file system, and has been widely employed in supercomputing for more than a decade. It has shown near-linear scalability in extremely large configurations – systems with 1,000+ nodes are common, and the largest exceed 5,000 nodes. Data volumes often run to hundreds of terabytes, and petabyte-scale systems have been deployed.
In terms of scalability, all vendors offer SAP-certified 16-node scale-out configurations – although there is little production experience with these – and Cisco claims that 48-node
configurations may be “certified on request.” However, Lenovo Solution servers and GPFS formed the basis of the three highest-performing HANA systems demonstrated to date.
