    Physical and Environmental Information

    Systems are comprised of the following components: Base chassis plus Expansion/Partition chassis.


    Enclosure

    The system can be field racked. However, it is strongly recommended that customers order the systems racked from the factory. This provides the customer the benefit of extensive system testing and avoids possible premium service charges for field racking service. Field racking requires the use of an appropriate material lift capable of lifting 80+ lbs.


    Systems are supported in the HPE 600mm wide and 800mm wide racks, and the HPE D-rack. Rack availability is dependent on size of system complex.

    Other products may be placed in the same rack as the system. Placement of these other products must not result in moving the server chassis.

    All racks in the same order must be the same height and width.

    Hardware Configuration

    Number of chassis (min/max) per compute system

    1/8

    Number of processor modules per compute system (min/max)

    4/32

    Number of DIMMs (increments of 24 DIMMs per chassis - min/max)

    24 or 48 per chassis

    Number of Grid cables (non-partitioned)

    22 (2-chassis)/112 (8-chassis)

    Number of I/O slots

    16 half-height per chassis

    Or 8 full-height and 4 half-height per chassis

    Or Compute only 0-slot (Expansion Chassis only)

    Number of RMCs

    0/1

    Number of Base IO

    1

    SAS/SATA drives per Base IO

    Up to 4

    DVD module per Base IO

    1

    Fans

    8 per chassis

    Power Supplies (1600W)

    2N: 4 per chassis – this is a separate sku(s)

    • – The system is supported in the HPE 600mm and 800mm series racks and the HPE D-rack with a standard rack door.
    • – Each chassis is populated with two Flex ASICs.
    • – General rules are as follows:
    • – Boot devices should be in slot 5
    • – Alternate boot devices should be in slot 3

    Configuration Rules

    The chassis is the basic building block.

    A single system can be supported in 1-Chassis to 8-Chassis configurations. Two options exist for management – an embedded Rack Management Controller (eRMC) or an external Rack Management Controller (RMC). The eRMC is not expandable beyond two chassis. When nPars is required the RMC is also always required regardless of the number of chassis in the complex.


    Each system starts with one (1) Base Chassis. Up to seven (7) Expansion Chassis can be added to scale the system.

    All chassis are populated with four processor module – same processors within chassis.

    A system can have one to eight chassis and one external RMC (optional for 1 and 2 chassis configurations except for partitioned systems)


    There are single phase and three phase power distribution options.

    Notes: All processors within a system must be of the same processor family (i.e. 61XX, 81XX, 62XX OR 82XX). No mixing is allowed


    Racking Choices

    Superdome Flex can be racked in many of the HPE G2 Enterprise Series and Advanced Series racks, and the HPE D-Rack. If the Superdome Flex will be configured as 16-sockets (4-chassis) or more the HPE 800mm wide racks or D-Rack are required. Complete ordering rules can be found in the Superdome Flex server menu and in the ordering & configuration tools.


    The Superdome Flex can also be rack mounted in 3rd party rack. Specific rules and guidelines for this are available here: https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-a00043156en_us&docLocale=en_US


    The following racks are supported with Superdome Flex—refer to the server menu for ordering & configuration rules.

    • – HPE 22U 600x1075mm Adv G2 Shck Rack
    • – HPE 36U 600x1075mm Adv G2 Kit Shock Rack
    • – HPE 42U 600x1200mm Adv G2 Kit Shock Rack
    • – HPE 42U 600x1075mm Adv G2 Kit Shck Rack
    • – HPE 42U 600x1075 Ent G2 Shock Rack
    • – HPE 42U 600x1200 Ent G2 Shock Rack
    • – HPE 42U 800x1075 Ent G2 Shock Rack
    • – HPE 42U 800x1200 Ent G2 Shock Rack
    • – HPE 48U 600x1075 Ent G2 Shock Rack
    • – HPE 48U 600x1200 Ent G2 Shock Rack
    • – HPE 48U 800x1075 Ent G2 Shock Rack
    • – HPE 48U 800x1200 Ent G2 Shock Rack
    • – HPE 42U 610mm x 1156mm D-Rack
    • – HPE D-Rack 42U 610mm x 1156mm Extended

    The default assumption is that chassis are loaded in the rack at the bottom. It is recommended that 1U is left below the bottom of the compute enclosure in the 42U rack to provide PDU and cabling exit space.

    Supported configurations have the system located at the bottom of the rack with peripherals located above all chassis

    Processor Mixing Support

    Governing rules for mixing processors are as follows:

    • – No mixing of processor types within the same chassis or HPE nPar
    • – No support for processors running at different frequencies or different cache sizes within the same chassis or HPE nPar
    • – Processor modules on a chassis must be the same revision, frequency, & cache size
    • Notes: It is highly recommended that all processors within all nPars within a complex be identical in order to maximize repartitioning options

    DDR4 Memory Support

    Systems will use DDR4 DIMM technology.

    The following DIMMs are supported in the chassis for systems with 62XX and 82XX processors::

    • – 32GB (1x32GB) Dual Rank x4 DDR4-2933 Registered Memory Kit
    • – 64GB (1x64GB) Quad Rank x4 DDR4-2933 Load Reduced Memory Kit

    RAID Options

    Embedded Base IO

    The Base IO includes the embedded Intel RSTe SATA controller with 6Gb SATA support for two (2) or four (4) 2.5” SATA solid state drives (SSDs). The RSTe SATA controller is directly connected to the internal drive carriers located in the rear of the Superdome Flex Base Chassis.


    The internal drive backplane can support either SAS or SATAHDDs/SSDs when connected to the optional HPE 9361-4i RAID controller or HPE 3162-8i encryption RAID controller. Storage options are limited to only SATA HDDs/SSDs when connected to the embedded Intel RSTe SATA controller.


    The drives can be used as physical disks (HBA mode) or can be configured as RAID 0, 1, 10, 5 using SW RAID; RAID 1 is the default setting from the factory. Boot support is available for both physical/HBA mode and RAID mode. The internal SATA BIOS assisted RAID mirroring is not supported with VMware.

    Embedded Intel RSTe SATA Controller

    The drives can be used as physical disks (HBA mode) or can be configured as RAID 0, 1, 10, 5 using SW RAID; RAID 1 is the default setting from the factory. Boot support is available for both physical/HBA mode and RAID mode. The internal SATA BIOS assisted RAID mirroring is not supported with VMware.


    HPE 9361-4i RAID Controller

    The HPE 9361-4i RAID controller is one of the options for RAID support when Superdome Flex is configured with two (2) or four (4) 2.5” SAS/SATA solid state drives (SSDs) or hard disk drives (HDDs). The HPE 9361-4i provides 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA connectivity directly to the internal drive carriers located in the rear of the Superdome Flex Base Chassis. Supports hardware RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 6; RAID 1 is the default setting from the factory. The HPE 9361-4i provides boot support. The HPE 9361-4i consumes two (2) PCIe slots; one (1) for the RAID controller and one (1) for the SuperCap.


    HPE 3154-8e RAID Controller

    The HPE 3154-8e provides 12Gb SAS connectivity to external SAS devices like the HPE D3000 Disk Enclosures. The drives can be used as physical disks (HBA mode) or hardware RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, 60. The HPE 3154-8e provides boot support for both physical/HBA mode and RAID mode. The HPE 3154-8e consumes two (2) PCIe slots; one (1) for the RAID controller and one (1) for the SuperCap.


    HPE 3162-8i Encryption RAID Controller

    The HPE 3162-8i Encryption RAID controller is one of three options when RAID support is required on Superdome Flex when configured with two (2) or four (4) 2.5” SAS/SATA solid state drives (SSDs) or hard disk drives (HDDs). The HPE 3162-8i provides 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA connectivity directly to the internal drive carriers located in the rear of the Superdome Flex Base Chassis. Supports hardware RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 6; RAID 1 is the default setting from the factory. The HPE 3162-8i provides boot support. The HPE 3162-8i consumes one (1) PCIe slots and comes with onboard SuperCap for cache protection. The HPE 3162-8i provides optional controller-based encryption which encrypts data on RAID arrays and single drive RAID 0 with AES 256 encryption. It works at line speed, accelerated by silicon engines, with all SAS and SATA devices that are supported in RAID (SSDs and HDDs) and supports local encryption key management.


    Platform Management

    The HPE Superdome Flex delivers system administration, control, and platform management both via a programmable Redfish API and also in a comprehensive and concise command-line interface. The Redfish® API can be used in many ways including:

    • – Directly in simple scripts to obtain inventory and monitoring information
    • – With HPE OneView* for a graphical user interface, as well as to manage many HPE systems in the datacenter at once
    • – With Openstack Ironic for Provisioning the OS

    The Rack Management Controller (RMC) in Superdome Flex is available either in a standalone, 1U rack-mount component or as an embedded option (the "eRMC") running within the Base Chassis. The standalone RMC is capable of managing a Superdome Flex system from one chassis up to the maximum supported configuration available for Superdome Flex. The embedded version, eRMC, is capable of managing a Superdome Flex system of one or two chassis (4 or 8 processor sockets). The 1U RMC is required for Partitioned systems regardless of socket/chassis count.


    The HPE Superdome Flex has a built-in and always available platform management system. By integrating the management into the server platform, Hewlett Packard Enterprise ensures that every Superdome Flex comes with the full set of management features, and simplifies the task of integrating Superdome Flex into the data center. The purpose of the HPE Superdome

    Flex management system is to:

    • – Provide built-in tools to manage hardware and provide mission-critical system availability (inventory, monitor, diagnose, configure, maintain, and self-healing)
    • – Make it easier for users and applications to manage the system (inventory, start, stop, connect console, and so on)

    The HPE Superdome Flex manageability system provides a very powerful control point for the system, and the RMC makes managing the HPE Superdome Flex much easier by centralizing the control and building the management into the hardware and firmware of the system. It provides the following features:

    • – CLI for easy access to all RMC functions, providing potential scripting and power user convenience
    • – Console, and console logs
    • – Available remotely connected virtual media or virtual KVM
    • – Built-in Error Analysis Engine constantly monitors all system hardware, analyzes log and telemetry data, and determines corrective actions for highest system uptime (often performing corrective actions automatically)
    • – HPE Superdome Flex RMC will interface directly with the HPE Remote Support software for data center wide fault management visibility and tie-in to HPE support services, such as the Insight Online portal

    Notes:. Superdome Flex is supported starting with HPE OneView release v4.1.
