| Overview |
Extend the capabilities of your high-density BladeCenter™ with the AMD Opteron LS20 for IBM  BladeCenter blade server Model 65x that includes an AMD Opteron 32-/64-bit Dual Core processor running at a speed of 2.2 GHz — with 1 MB L2 cache per core. |
This processor is a low-power, full-performance Opteron processor. With customers concerned with power consumption and heat output this unique low-power processor can help to reduce the operational cost in deploying these blades.
This Opteron processor supports 64-bit operating systems from Red Hat Linux™, SUSE LINUX, and Microsoft™ Windows™.
This processor can also run a 32-bit application under a 64-bit operating system and remain fully compatible with 32-bit applications and operating systems.
High density: Up to 14 AMD Opteron LS20 for BladeCenter Model 65x blade servers can be installed in a new BladeCenter chassis (8677-3XX). Also, they may be installed in an existing BladeCenter chassis (8677-1XX or 8677-2XX) at full density after an upgrade with the new 2,000-watt power supply option (26K4816). In addition, up to eight of these new LS20 blade servers may be installed in the BladeCenter T chassis (8720-1RX and 8730-1RX) with appropriate firmware.
Powerful blade-thin computing: The BladeCenter chassis and AMD Opteron LS20 for BladeCenter blade servers are the key components to building your blade configuration. Optionally available Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and InfiniBand switches and adapters, redundant keyboard video mouse (KVM) management, and power modules support advanced configurations.
