Product Description
The FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY BX2560 M2 is a
dual-socket server blade that further extends the
capabilities of the Fujitsu blade ecosystem and
provides improved performance especially on large
data sets. It addresses a broad set of workloads,
from IT and web infrastructures up to highperformance
computing applications.
The PRIMERGY BX2560 M2 harnesses the power
of the latest Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v4
product family, with up to 1024 GB of RAM (16
DIMM slots), two hot plug disk drives (HDD/SSD/
PCIe SSD), and two slots for additional mezzanine
cards. The processor features up to 22 cores per
CPU and uses DDR4 memory technology that runs
at speeds of up to 2400 MHz. The system also
includes an Emulex-based dual port 10 Gigabit
Ethernet, Data Center Bridging (DCB)-capable
LAN on motherboard (LOM). This LOM solution
enables an agile server infrastructure that can be
partitioned in up to eight PCIe functions, partially
configurable to NIC, iSCSI, or FCoE personalities
with offload features, and present up to 128
MAC/VLAN addresses to the host that can be
dynamically configured.

Config Notes
- Hard Disk Configuration: RAID 5.
- Install: System installed using the internal DVD drive; the OS was installed from DVD using the UEFI boot loader and system configuration.
- 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)
- PCI Network Pass-Through: System was tested using PCI pass-through where the network adapter was given to the SLES 11 SP3 x86-64 guest. An added network adapter, Intel® PRO/1000 PM (82571EB) Dual-Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller, was used in this testing - this adapter was using the standard SP3 e1000e driver.
