The 8853L6U IBM Blade Center HS21 is a powerful and reliable blade server designed to meet the demands of modern computing environments. This server, equipped with a 1X Intel Xeon Dual-Core 5160 processor running at 3.0GHz and 1GB RAM, offers a robust solution for various business applications. In this detailed exploration, we'll delve into the key features and specifications of the 8853L6U, highlighting its processing capabilities and overall performance.
Processor & Chipset for Xeon 3.0GHzAt the heart of the 8853L6U is its Intel Xeon Dual-Core 5160 processor, a workhorse known for its processing prowess. With a clock speed of 3.0GHz, this processor delivers reliable and efficient performance, making it suitable for multitasking and resource-intensive applications.
The server's support for Dual-Core technology enhances its ability to handle parallel tasks, providing improved efficiency in diverse workloads. Additionally, its 64-bit computing capability ensures compatibility with modern software architectures, enabling the server to address larger memory spaces for enhanced performance.
The processor incorporates advanced features such as Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology, Execute Disable Bit, Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology, and Intel Virtualization Technology. These features collectively contribute to improved security, power efficiency, and virtualization capabilities, making the 8853L6U a versatile solution for a range of computing needs.
The chipset, Intel EM64T, complements the processor, facilitating seamless communication between components. With a data bus speed of 1333 MHz, data transfer within the system occurs at a swift pace, enhancing overall system responsiveness and performance.
Cache MemoryEfficient data handling is crucial for optimal server performance, and the 8853L6U addresses this with its L2 cache memory. The 4MB L2 cache, organized as 2 x 2MB, ensures that frequently accessed data is readily available to the processor, reducing latency and improving system responsiveness. This cache configuration contributes to the server's ability to handle demanding workloads with ease.
The 8853L6U comes equipped with 1GB of DDR2 SDRAM-ECC memory. This type of memory is known for its reliability and error-checking capabilities, essential for maintaining data integrity in mission-critical applications.
The server supports a maximum memory capacity of 16GB, providing scalability to accommodate growing workloads. The use of DIMM 240-Pin modules at a memory speed of 667MHz, adhering to the PC2-5300 specification, ensures efficient data transfer and responsiveness.
The memory configuration features 2 x 512MB modules, following an upgrade rule of two modules at a time. This flexibility allows organizations to scale their server's memory capacity based on evolving performance requirements.
Storage CapabilitiesWhile the 8853L6U does not include a pre-installed hard drive, it supports up to 2 hard drives with a SAS interface. SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) provides high-speed data transfer and offers compatibility with a variety of storage devices, enhancing the server's storage capabilities.
The absence of a diskette drive aligns with the industry trend, as modern servers prioritize more advanced storage solutions. This design decision allows for a more streamlined and efficient storage configuration.
Storage ControllersThe server features an integrated storage controller supporting Serial Attached SCSI. With 1 channel and RAID levels 0 and 1, this controller provides data protection and performance optimization options. RAID 0 enhances performance by stripping data across multiple drives, while RAID 1 offers data redundancy through mirroring.
This configuration is particularly beneficial for organizations seeking a balance between performance and data integrity. The presence of a dedicated storage controller enhances the server's ability to manage and optimize storage resources effectively.
Display & GraphicsThe 8853L6U incorporates an integrated graphics controller featuring the ATI ES1000 graphics processor with 16MB of installed memory. While blade servers are not typically associated with high-end graphics capabilities, the integrated graphics provide the necessary functionality for server management and basic display requirements.
The inclusion of a basic graphics processor ensures that the server can be easily managed and monitored, even in environments where graphical output is not the primary focus.
Networking FeaturesNetworking is a critical aspect of any server, and the 8853L6U excels in this regard. The server comes with an integrated network adapter featuring 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports. The Ethernet controller, Broadcom BCM5708S, supports various data link protocols, including Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet.
The server's networking capabilities are further enhanced by the presence of a Remote Management Controller, specifically the Intel Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). This feature allows for remote monitoring and management, contributing to efficient server administration.
Additional FeaturesOne notable feature of the 8853L6U is its support for Wake On LAN (WOL). This feature enables administrators to remotely power on the server, providing a convenient and energy-efficient means of managing server resources.
