General Supplementary Matters

HDD
 The Capacity of Hard disk drive is indicated in decimal not binary. 1GB＝1000^3B、1TB=1000^4B.

PCI expansion slot

 Transfer speed of PCI Express
 PCI Express (PCIe): 2.5Gb/s (simplex) per lane
 PCI Express 2.0 (PCIe 2.0): 5Gb/s (simplex) per lane
 PCI Express 3.0 (PCIe 3.0): 8Gb/s (simplex) per lane

Time display
 A system clock is affected by temperature conditions in storage. If high accuracy of the system clock is required, use of
NPT servers is recommended.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION GUIDE – NEC Express5800/R120h-2E

Memory Supplementary Matters

Installation rule
 The number of memory which can be installed varies depending on number of installed CPUs.
 This installation rule is defined to maximize performance efficiently in multiple cores and tasks operation.
 Registered DIMM (RDIMM), Load Reduced DIMM (LRDIMM) can be installed up to 8 per 1CPU.
 Mixing of RDIMM and LRDIMM is not allowed to be installed.

When install DIMMs, higher capacity memory must be installed preferentially, if this rule is ignored, it may cause failures of DIMMs.
This rule applies to the factory installation.
For dual CPU system, install DIMM to CPU1 firstly and then to CPU2 alternately.
Memory population varies with number of installed DIMMs. In installation of 5, 7, 8 DIMMs per CPU, optimal performance might NOT
be obtained. Other memory populations are recommended.

Single CPU system

Dual CPU system

1-3x DIMM(s)

4-8x DIMMs

Internal Drive Supplementary Matters

Conditions of Internal Drives in the default factory configuration
In the default factory configuration, there are some conditions of drive types and RAID levels that can be installed as
below.

Common
 For the shipment with a RAID array, select the drives in the same capacity as many as needed.
 In the default factory configuration, up to two types of Internal Drives can be installed in accordance with the following conditions
and restrictions.

Conditions for mixing Internal Drives in the default factory configuration

 Up to two types of Internal Drives can be installed in the default factory configuration.
 M.2 SATA SSD can be installed at the factory regardless of mixing Internal Drives.
 The type of Internal Drives is classified according to form factors (2.5”/3.5”), interfaces (SAS/SATA), devices (HDD/SSD), Data
transfer speeds, and rotational speeds. The current categories are below.
 3.5 inch SAS HDD, 12Gb/s, 7,200rpm
 3.5 inch SATA HDD, 6Gb/s, 7,200rpm
 2.5 inch SAS HDD, 12Gb/s, 10,000rpm
 2.5 inch SAS HDD, 12Gb/s, 15,000rpm
 2.5 inch SAS SSD, 12Gb/s
 2.5 inch SATA HDD, 6Gb/s, 7,200rpm
 2.5 inch SATA SSD, 6Gb/s
For example, 2.5 inch SATA HDD, 1TB, 7,200rpm 512n sector and 2.5 inch SATA HDD, 2TB, 7,200rpm 512n sector are
regarded as the same type of Internal Drives.

Common restrictions of mixing Internal Drives in the default factory

configuration
 Internal Drives with a different sector size cannot be mixed, even if they are the same type.
For example, a mixing of 2.5 inch SATA HDD, 1TB, 7,200rpm 512n sector and 2.5 inch SATA HDD, 2TB, 7,200rpm 512e sector is
NOT supported in the default factory configuration.
 SSDs of different Endurance (ME, VE, RI) cannot be mixed, even if they are the same type.
For example, a mixing of 2.5 inch SATA SSD, 400GB, 6Gb/s VE (Value Endurance) and 2.5 inch SATA HDD, 800GB, 6Gb/s RI
(Read Intensive) is NOT supported in the default factory configuration.

Mounting order of mixing Internal Drives in the default factory

configuration
 In the default factory configuration, the drive mounting order is defined as below.
 The Internal drives is installed in the order of Front Cage, Middle Cage, Rear Cage.

Order 2.5 inch Drives Order 3.5 inch Drives

1 2.5 inch SAS HDD 1 3.5 inch SAS HDD
2 2.5 inch SAS SSD 2 3.5 inch SATA HDD
3 2.5 inch SATA HDD - -
4 2.5 inch SATA SSD - -

 The Internal drives are installed in the ascending order of a slot number, when the same type of the drives are selected, the drives
are installed according to the order below.

Order Factors Priority; high Priority; middle Priority; low

1 Drive capacity Smaller Bigger -

2 Data transfer speed 6Gb/s 12Gb/s -
3 Rotational speed 7,200rpm 10,000rpm 15,000rpm

NEC Corporation Revision 6.0 – January 2019 38

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION GUIDE – NEC Express5800/R120h-2E

RAID controller configuration

 Capacity of Logical drive can be within 2TB with legacy boot mode, capacity of logical drive can be within the total capacity of
logical disks with UEFI boot mode.
 As the factory shipment, initial cache policy of RAID controllers is Write Through for N8103-189, Write back for N8103-190.

RAID configuration for the default factory shipment

Available RAID level is determined by the RAID configurations and the number of drives as below.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION GUIDE – NEC Express5800/R120h-2E

Conditions for mixing of Internal Drives after shipment

 RAID controller is required for mixing of Internal Drives
 Mixed Internal Drives cannot be installed in the same RAID array.
 When using hot spare disk for different RAID arrays which consist of various type of drives, assign “Dedicated Hot Spare” to each
RAID arrays with the same type of drive, to prevent from mixing different type of drives in a RAID array. “Global Hot Spare” cannot
be used.

Mixing of different type of drives

Two types of drive can be installed in standard drive cage (8slots) and optional drive cage (8slots), in total, up to four types of drive
using both cages. There is nine “type”, such as SAS HDD 10,000rpm(512n), SAS HDD 10,000rpm(512e), SAS HDD
15,000rpm(512n), SAS HDD 7,200rpm(512e), SATA HDD 7,200rpm(512n), SATA HDD 7,200rpm(512e), SATA SSD(ME/VE/RI).

See some examples as below.
