Compute book

Use this information for an overview of the compute book.

The compute book is in the front of the server. Each compute book must have a minimum of one microprocessor, one DIMM, and one fan-pack installed. It provides the following connectors and slots:

  • One microprocessor socket
  • 24 DDR3 DIMM connectors (Models with the DDR3 compute book)
  • 24 DDR4 DIMM connectors (Models with the DDR4 compute book)
  • Two 60 mm counter-rotating fan bays

The compute book also provides and a light path button. Press this button to light the LEDs on the board when the compute book has been removed from the server. Any LEDs that were light before the compute book was removed from the server will be lit when the light path button is pressed.

The following illustration shows the front view of the compute book:
