AM378A HPE Integrity BL870c i4 c7000 Server Blade

AM378A is the HPE Integrity BL870c i4 c7000 server blade, the base unit of the BL870c i4 for an HPE BladeSystem c7000 enclosure. It has four sockets for Intel Itanium 9500 series processors, and the processors are ordered separately: the blade runs with 2, 3 or 4 identical processors, and mixing processor models is not allowed.

Processor kits for the blade are the AM383A (Itanium 9540, 2.13GHz, 8-core), AM382A (Itanium 9560, 2.53GHz, 8-core), AM385A (Itanium 9520, 1.73GHz, 4-core) and AM384A (Itanium 9550, 2.4GHz, 4-core), each holding one processor. Memory goes into 48 DDR3 registered DIMM sockets, up to 768 GB, using kits of two DIMMs such as the AM387B 16GB memory kit and the AM388A 32GB kit. DIMMs are installed in quads.

Onboard are four SFF SAS hot-plug drive bays behind two embedded Smart Array P410i controllers, each with 512MB of read-only cache, eight integrated NC553i 10Gb FlexFabric ports and a 10/100 NIC for Integrity iLO 3. Six PCIe Gen2 x8 mezzanine slots take cards such as the 467799-B21 NC532m adapter, the 451871-B21 QMH2562 8Gb FC HBA and the 456972-B21 Emulex LPe1205 8Gb FC HBA.

A c7000 enclosure holds up to four BL870c i4 blades, each blade a full-height, double-wide unit. Adding the #0D1 option integrates the blade into the enclosure on the same order, as AM378A#001 for an odd slot or AM378A#002 for an even slot. The BL2 Blade Link upgrade AM395A is required for a blade in an odd slot of a c7000 or c3000, and the BL2-c7E upgrade AM396A for an even slot of a c7000. The base unit for a c3000 enclosure is the AM379A, and the AM382A Itanium 9560 processor kit is one of the field upgrade kits. More blades are in HPE server systems.
