The number of HS22V servers supported in each chassis depends on the thermal design power of the processors used in the servers as shown in Table 6. The table uses the following conventions:
- A green square in a cell means the chassis can be filled with HS22V blade servers up to the maximum number of blade bays in the chassis (for example, 14 blades in the BladeCenter H).
- A yellow square in a cell means that the maximum number of HS22V blades that the chassis can hold is fewer than the total available blade bays (for example, 12 in a BladeCenter H). Other bays in the chassis may or may not be occupied by servers other than HS22 and HS22V depending on the combination and some bays must remain empty. Consult the BladeCenter Interoperability Guide for specifics: http://ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5073016
Note: The HS22V is not supported in the BladeCenter E with power supplies smaller than 2000 W.

Memory options
IBM DDR3 memory is compatibility tested and tuned for optimal System x performance and throughput. IBM memory specifications are integrated into the light path diagnostics for immediate system performance feedback and optimum system uptime. From a service and support standpoint, IBM memory automatically assumes the IBM system warranty, and IBM provides service and support worldwide.
The HS22V blade server has 18 DIMM slots. When one processor is installed, then only nine DIMM slots can be used. When two processors are installed, then all 18 DIMM slots can be used. However, the maximum amount of DIMMs that can be installed is also limited by the type and rank of DIMM used, as follows:
Each CPU has three memory channels, and there are three DIMMs per channel. RDIMMs can be populated three per channel. Maximum memory speed is limited by memory speed supported by the specific CPU (that is, if the CPU supports only 1066 MHz, then the memory speed cannot exceed 1066 MHz in any case), and by the number and type of DIMMs installed (whatever is lower), as follows:
The HS22V supports both 1.5 V and 1.35 V DIMMs. Intel Xeon 5600 series processor can run DIMMs at either 1.35 V or 1.5 V depending on DIMM voltage and configuration, while Intel Xeon 5500 series processors run DIMMs at 1.5 V in all cases. Mixing 1.5 V and 1.35 V DIMMs in the same server is supported, in such a case all DIMMs operate at 1.5 V. With 1.35V DIMMs if there is a need to run two DIMMs per channel at 1333 MHz then DIMMs will operate at 1.5 V.
The following memory protection technologies are supported:
If Memory Mirroring is used then DIMMs must be installed in pairs (minimum of one pair per each CPU), and both DIMMs in a pair must be identical in type and size. If Memory Sparing is used then DIMMs must be installed in sets of three, and all DIMMs in the same set must be identical in type and size. Memory sparing is only supported for Intel Xeon 5600 series processor-based systems.
The following two tables list memory options available for HS22V server - one of 5500 series processors and one for 5600 series processors. DIMMs can be installed one at a time, but for performance reasons, install them in sets of three, one for each of the three memory channels.
Table 7. Memory options for servers with Xeon 5500 series processors
Table 8. Memory options for servers with Xeon 5600 series processors
The HS22V blade server has 18 DIMM slots. When one processor is installed, then only nine DIMM slots can be used. When two processors are installed, then all 18 DIMM slots can be used. However, the maximum amount of DIMMs that can be installed is also limited by the type and rank of DIMM used, as follows:
- Up to 18 single-rank RDIMMs (nine per processor) for a maximum of 72 GB (18x 4 GB)
- Up to 18 dual-rank RDIMMs (nine per processor) for a maximum of 288 GB (18x 16 GB) for Xeon 5600 series and 144 GB (18x 8 GB) for Xeon 5500 series
Each CPU has three memory channels, and there are three DIMMs per channel. RDIMMs can be populated three per channel. Maximum memory speed is limited by memory speed supported by the specific CPU (that is, if the CPU supports only 1066 MHz, then the memory speed cannot exceed 1066 MHz in any case), and by the number and type of DIMMs installed (whatever is lower), as follows:
- Intel Xeon 5600 series processors:
- 1333 MHz when one or two single-rank or dual-rank RDIMMs per channel are installed
- 800 MHz when three single-rank or dual-rank RDIMMs per channel are installed
- Quad-core Intel Xeon 5500 series processors:
- 1333 MHz when one single-rank or dual-rank RDIMM per channel is installed
- 1066 MHz when two single-rank or dual-rank RDIMMs per channel are installed
- 800 MHz when three single-rank or dual-rank RDIMMs per channel are installed
- Dual-core Intel Xeon 5500 series processors only support memory speed at 800 MHz.
The HS22V supports both 1.5 V and 1.35 V DIMMs. Intel Xeon 5600 series processor can run DIMMs at either 1.35 V or 1.5 V depending on DIMM voltage and configuration, while Intel Xeon 5500 series processors run DIMMs at 1.5 V in all cases. Mixing 1.5 V and 1.35 V DIMMs in the same server is supported, in such a case all DIMMs operate at 1.5 V. With 1.35V DIMMs if there is a need to run two DIMMs per channel at 1333 MHz then DIMMs will operate at 1.5 V.
The following memory protection technologies are supported:
- ECC
- ChipKill (for x4-based RDIMMs)
- Memory Mirroring
- Memory Sparing
If Memory Mirroring is used then DIMMs must be installed in pairs (minimum of one pair per each CPU), and both DIMMs in a pair must be identical in type and size. If Memory Sparing is used then DIMMs must be installed in sets of three, and all DIMMs in the same set must be identical in type and size. Memory sparing is only supported for Intel Xeon 5600 series processor-based systems.
The following two tables list memory options available for HS22V server - one of 5500 series processors and one for 5600 series processors. DIMMs can be installed one at a time, but for performance reasons, install them in sets of three, one for each of the three memory channels.
