Overview
Models of the xSeries® 460 server are powered with dual-core Intel(TM) Xeon MP processors at up to 3.00 GHz with 2x2 MB L2 cache. The xSeries 460 server contains advanced technology that combines scalable SMP-capable power, PCI-X expansion, third-generation Enterprise X-Architecture(TM) (EXA), high availability, scalability, and substantial internal data storage capacity. Benefits include:
Increased performance
Memory availability
System manageability
Simultaneous support for 32- and 64-bit applications with x86-64-bit extensions
xSeries MXE-460 server
Functionally identical to the xSeries 460 server, the xSeries MXE-460 server supports the same hardware configurations. However, it is supported only as an expansion module to a base xSeries 460 and not in a stand-alone configuration. It comes configured with two empty four-slot memory expansion cards (13M7409) and two power supplies, but without any processors, memory, disks, or optical drive.
In addition to processors and memory, the six disk bays and six PCI-X I/O card slots in each chassis are accessible. You can add up to a total of 48 hard disks and 48 I/O slots into a 32-socket configuration, eliminating the need for an external I/O expansion enclosure.
Power and scalability
XA-64e third-generation EXA chipset powering XpandOnDemand up to 32-socket
x86 64-bit extensions (EM64T) that support 32-bit or 64-bit applications on the same platform
Active Memory with hot-swap support: Memory ProteXion, memory mirroring, hot-swap, and hot-add memory
XceL4v Server Accelerator cache for high performance with 256 MB per chassis
2 GB of high-speed PC2-3200 double data rate (DDR2) memory; expandable to 512 GB in a 32-socket complex
SAS plus optional RAID maximize throughput, ease installation of RAID option card
Six 2.5-inch SAS HDDs, up to 438 GB of maximum internal storage
High-performance integrated dual Gigabit Ethernet built-in high-speed networking with support for latest technologies
Remote Supervisor Adapter II Slimline
3U rack-optimized, tool-free chassis strikes the balance between rack density and ease of maintenance
Third-generation Enterprise X-Architecture features
Advanced third-generation Chipkill(TM) ECC memory controller helps correct single-, two-, three-, and four-bit memory errors
Memory ProteXion and memory mirroring support
Active PCI slots, hot-add and hot-swap adapters
Hot-swap drive bays and redundant fans to replace select components without powering down the server
Two hot-swap, redundant power supplies
Predictive Failure Analysis® (PFA) on processors, memory, fans, power supply, and HDD options to help warn of problems before they occur
Innovative Light Path Diagnostics and top access design; easy to service and configure
Key prerequisites
Monitor, keyboard, and mouse
SAS HDD or Serial Attach SCSI HDD
Rack
