This Blade Server is supported in the PowerEdge FX2.
The PowerEdge FM120x4 blade server is actually 4 Micro servers in one Half-Width Blade. Hence the x4 in the FM120x4 Name. Each FM120 Micro Server runs the low-power Intel® Atom™ C2000 processors. Its System-on-a-chip (SoC) design lets it pack 4 processors in each half-width sled, providing a high-density, low-cost solution, ideal for web serving and dedicated hosting.
Each Micro-Server holds One CPU and two DIMMs and supports One 2.5" drive or Two 1.8" drives.
- PowerEdge FX2s: “switched” configuration supporting up to eight low-profile PCIe 3.0 expansion slots
- PowerEdge FX2: lower-cost “unswitched” configuration that does not offer expansion slots.
Innovative design
Each FM120 microserver is powered by a single Intel Atom processor C2000 with up to eight cores, two DIMMs of memory, one 2.5-inch front-access hard drive or two 1.8-inch SSDs, and an integrated 1GbE NIC on the SoC. PCIe connectivity is not supported for the FM120x4. The compact design of the C2000 allows the FM120x4 sled to hold four microservers. A fully loaded FX2 chassis can hold 16, offering impressive density. Using eight-core processors, 128 cores and 32 DIMMs of memory can be utilized in a single 2U FX2 chassis. The low-power characteristics of the C2000 enable the FM120x4 to comply with Dell Fresh Air 2.0 requirements, letting you save on energy and cooling costs for your data center.
The efficiencies of shared infrastructure
FM120x4 server blocks are housed in the Dell PowerEdge FX2 chassis — a 2U rack-based hybrid computing platform that delivers the density of a blade architecture with the simplicity and cost benefits of rack-based systems — all in a compact modular design. With shared power, cooling and networking, the FX2 delivers efficiency and flexibility for data center infrastructures. Simply and efficiently add resources to your infrastructure, when and where you need them. Add to the chassis at the single-server level or add one or more fully loaded 2U enclosures.
