Before you can configure different socket modes for Oracle Server X8-8, you need to obtain the required Oracle X8-8 CPU Module Packages from Oracle. Contact your sales representative for information about ordering the CPU module packages.

Oracle Server X8-8 CPU Module package includes one CMOD. Each CMOD supports one processor (CPU). To produce a dual 4-socket server or a single 8-socket server, you need to order four CPU module packages. In a dual 4-socket configuration, the two sides of the system can support either identical or different processor SKUs and memory. In an 8-socket configuration, System A must have Intel Xeon 81xx series processors installed, and System A and System B processor SKUs and memory (capacity and number of DIMMs per CMOD) must be identical.

Processor and memory options for each CPU module package include the following:

• Processors (CPUs):

  • Intel Xeon 8268 processor, 24-core, 2.9-GHz, 205 W (4-socket servers or 8-socket server)

  • Intel Xeon 8260 processor, 24-core, 2.4-GHz, 165 W (4-socket servers or 8-socket server)

  • Intel Xeon 5218 processor, 16-core, 2.3-GHz, 125 W (4-socket servers)

• Memory (DIMMs): (DDR4-2666) 6 or 12 DIMMs of each capacity supported, 12 DIMMs maximum

  • 16-GB RDIMMs

  • 32-GB RDIMMs

  • 64-GB LRDIMMs
