Network
Controllers
Four (4) embedded Gigabit Ethernet network adapter ports, plus (1) additional
management network adapter port:
Two (2) embedded NC373i Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapters with
TCP/IP offload engine for Microsoft Windows, iSCSI boot, and optional
accelerated iSCSI
One (1) NC326i Dual Port Gigabit Server Adapter
One (1) additional embedded 10/100 network adapter dedicated to iLO
2 management
NOTE: The Gigabit Ethernet adapters
transmit from the server at 2000 Mbps, full duplex per port. However,
within a Linux environment, the speed can be reduced or "throttled"
using a feature available within the Linux operating system.
Once the adapter signal reaches the interconnect within the blade enclosure
and communicates outside the blade enclosure to the LAN, the blade interconnect
uplink types and settings determine the cable media, speed, duplex mode,
and auto negotiation mode. Interconnects are available with Ethernet uplinks
supporting 10/100/1000T, 10/100/1000 SFP, 1000 SX fiber, and 10Gb speeds.
Multifunction
Networking
The embedded multifunction NC373i combines standard Gigabit Ethernet
networking, TCP/IP offload engine (TOE) acceleration for Windows, iSCSI
boot, and optional accelerated iSCSI into a single adapter.
TOE moves the processing of data in the TCP protocol stack from the
server CPU to the network card, freeing CPU cycles for other activities.
With TOE, network communications are improved, and server efficiency
is increased. The NC373i offers TOE for Microsoft® Windows.
The iSCSI boot allows the BL680c G5 to boot from a remote operating
system (OS) image located on a storage area network (SAN) within a Red
Hat or SUSE Linux environment. The BL680c G5 uses an iSCSI firmware
image (iSCSI boot option ROM) making the remote disk drive appear as
a local, bootable C: drive. The BL680c G5 is configured to connect to
and boot from the iSCSI target disk on the network and download the
OS image from the iSCSI target disk. The iSCSI boot option ROM is supplied
by HP at no cost. The additional cost and mezzanine slot usage of an
add-in iSCSI HBA card is not required. Additionally, the HP iSCSI boot
solution includes scripts to significantly simplify the installation
process.
I/O Expansion Slots
Three I/O expansion mezzanine
slots; one Type I x4 PCIe (15 watts) and two x8 PCIe (25 watts).

256MB of 40-bit ECC protected cache and supports RAID levels 0 (striping)
and 1 (mirroring).
The controller supports both SAS and SATA hard drives letting you deploy
drive technology as needed to fit your computing environment. The BL680c
G5 provides two hot-plug drive bays for up to 1.0TB of SAS and 500GB of
SATA storage.
Providing high availability data cache retention, the Smart Array P400i
supports two battery backed write cache (BBWC) options:
BBWC for the existing 25MB cache.
Upgrade to 72-bit 512MB ECC protected cache with BBWC.

NOTE:
Memory configurations listed do not apply to "Factory Integrated Models". NOTE: For a specific memory level, the best performance is achieved
using a homogenous memory configuration.
DIMM installation guidelines:
All memory must be PC2-5300 fully
buffered DDR2 DIMMs operating at 667 MHz.
Both DIMM slots in a memory bank
must be populated.
Banks must be populated in sequential
alphabetic order, starting with bank A.
Both DIMMs in a memory bank must
be identical. Install identical DIMMs as pairs only, starting with
DIMM socket 1, bank A.
Standard memory and lower power
DIMMs may be mixed within the same server, but not within the same
memory bank (see #4 above).
Low power DIMM kits save approximately
2 watts per server DIMM, plus any datacenter power savings resulting
from reduced cooling of heat dissipated from the lower server watt
usage.
Multiple advanced memory protection
(AMP) modes are supported based on fully buffered DIMM population
and RBSU selection. The server blade defaults to advanced ECC.
Standard Memory
8GB (2 x 4GB) of PC2-5300, FBD DDR2-667 ECC DIMMs
Standard Memory Plus Optional Memory
Up to 116GB of memory is available with the installation of optional PC2-5300,
FBD DDR2-667 DIMM memory expansion kits.
Standard Memory Replaced with Optional Memory
Up to 128GB of memory is available with the removal of standard memory and
the installation of optional PC2-5300, FBD DDR2-667 DIMM memory expansion
kits.
