Product Description
The PRIMERGY RX350 S7 is a 4U rack server with maximum levels of performance, expandability and availability. It combines the performance of Intel® Xeon® E5 processor with up to two 6GB general-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU) for computationally intensive applications. The new modular concept supports exellent expandability with up to 24 hard disk drives, up to 10 PCIe Gen 3 cards and up to 768GB memory. Moreover the 4 hot-plug, power supply units with up to 94% efficiency and the new power management, will result in lower operational costs. Thanks to the upgrade kits as well as the cost-saving Modular LAN options, the RX350 is prepared for future requirements. RX350 is ideal for database, consolidation or high performance computing scenarios.

Config Notes

Hard Disk Configuration: RAID 0.
Install: System installed using the internal DVD drive; the OS was installed from DVD using the UEFI boot loader and system configuration.
PCI Network Pass-Through: System was tested using PCI pass-through where one of the network adapters, Broadcom® Integrated BCM5709C Dual-Port 10/100/1000BASE-T, was given to the SLES 11 SP3 x86-64 guest. In addition, interrupt remapping support was enabled via "echo 1 > /sys/module/kvm/parameters/allow_unsafe_assigned_interrupts"
VM Driver Pack: All FV guests were tested with PV drivers installed. The SLES 11 SP3 drivers are included with the OS. The Windows 2012 drivers are available from http://download.novell.com (VMDP-WIN-2.1.exe), and the virtio network drivers were used during testing.
