Key features
The IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis is a simple, integrated infrastructure platform that supports a
mix of compute, storage, and networking resources to meet the demands of your applications. The
solution is easily scalable with the addition of another chassis with the required nodes. With the IBM Flex
System Manager, multiple chassis can be monitored from a single screen. The 14 node, 10U chassis
delivers high-speed performance complete with integrated servers, storage, and networking. This flexible
chassis is designed for a simple deployment now and to scale to meet your needs in the future.

Flexibility and efficiency
The 14 bays in the chassis allow the installation of compute or management nodes, with networking
modules in the rear. A single chassis or a group of chassis can be fully customized to the specific needs
of the computing environment. With support for POWER7

and Intel processor-based nodes, you can
choose the architecture you need. IT can meet the needs of the business using a single system across
multiple architectures and operating environments.
multiple architectures and operating environments.
The system monitors and manages power usage on all major chassis components so you have total
control over power consumption. The chassis supports N+N or N+1 redundant power supplies,
configurable in either a single or three-phase power domain and an entirely passive mid-plane to meet
your reliability needs. The power supplies are 80 PLUS Platinum-certified indicating high energy
efficiency. The chassis design also optimizes cooling with cooling zones within the chassis. The system
manages the fan modules based on node configuration within the chassis. So, the system can increase
the speed of certain fan modules to cool potential hot spots, and use lower speeds for other fan modules
where appropriate.

Easily scalable with simple administration
Because the IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis is an all-in-one solution, it is designed for growth from
a single chassis to many. Adding compute, storage, or networking capability is as simple as adding
additional nodes, modules, or chassis. The simple, highly integrated management system allows you to
use the Chassis Management Modules integrated into each chassis to administer a single chassis, or IBM
Flex System Manager controls up to four chassis from a single panel.

Designed for multiple generations of technology
The IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis is designed to be the foundation of your IT infrastructure now
and into the future. Compute performance requirements are always on the rise and networking demands
continue to grow with rising bandwidth needs and a shrinking tolerance for latency. The chassis is
designed to scale to meet the needs of your future workloads, offering the flexibility to support current and
future innovations in compute, storage, and networking technology.
