Memory
The HX 1U systems support up to 12 DIMMs per processor. The HX1320 and HX1321 support 1 processor and 12 DIMMs. The HX2320, HX2321, HX3320, and HX3321 all support 2 processors and 24 DIMMs. Each processor has six memory channels (two integrated memory controllers with three memory channels per memory controller), and there are two DIMMs per channel.
Memory maximums are as follows:
- HX1320 and HX1321: 384 GB
- HX2320 and HX2321: 1.5 TB
- HX3320 and HX3321: 3.0 TB
- HX3320 and HX3321 for HANA: 3.0 TB
Only specific memory capacities are supported and only with certain DIMM combinations. In most configurations, all DIMMs must be of the same type, speed, rank, and capacity (the same part number or feature code). The only exception is with 576 GB of memory capacity, in which a combination of 16 GB and 32 GB DIMMs is used, and all DIMMs in the appliance must be of the same type and speed.
For more information about memory support, see the SR630 product guide:
https://lenovopress.com/lp1049-thinksystem-sr630-server#memory-options
The following tables list the memory options that are available for selection for each HX system. It is possible to expand memory capacity after the initial deployment by adding more memory DIMMs to match one of the supported memory configurations.

Nutanix licenses on certified nodes: The certified node ships with the Nutanix software preloaded, however Nutanix software licenses and software support are not included. Customers can use the existing Nutanix term-based software licenses and active support contracts, or they can purchase term-based software licenses and support contracts from Nutanix.
For the information on appliance firmware levels, hypervisor versions, and software versions that have been tested for interoperability, refer to the Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series Best Recipes:
http://datacentersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht505413
The ThinkAgile Appliances support the following software components:
Nutanix Acropolis
The integrated system can be configured with one of the Nutanix software editions that are listed in the following table. The Nutanix software is factory-preloaded and the appropriate license for the selected software edition can be downloaded from the Nutanix website to match the serial number of the integrated system.
Feature code | Description | Quantity (per node) |
---|---|---|
B0VU | Nutanix Starter Edition | 1 |
B0VV | Nutanix Pro Edition | 1 |
B0VW | Nutanix Ultimate Edition | 1 |
The editions have the following characteristics:
- The Starter edition offers the core set of Nutanix software functionality. This edition is ideal for small-scale deployments with a limited set of workloads.
- The Pro edition offers rich data services, along with resilience and management features. This edition is ideal for enterprises running multiple applications on a Nutanix cluster or with large-scale single workload deployments.
- The Ultimate edition offers the full suite of Nutanix software capabilities to tackle complex infrastructure challenges. This edition is ideal for multi-site deployments.
The following table compares key features of the Nutanix software editions. For more information, see the following web page:
