SGI Altix350 Servers

The Altix 350 server is similar to the Origin 350 but instead of 4 MIPS R16000 processors, it uses Intel ItaniumII processors and industry standard DDR SDRAM DIMMs.
Each Origin 350 chassis takes up only 2U in a standard 19inch rack.
Processors from a single 1.3GHz ItaniumII w/1.5MB L3 Cache to dual 1.6GHz ItaniumII w/9MB of L3 cache
From 1GB to 24GB of main memory per chassis, 192GB maximum per system
NUMAlink3 architecture that scales as processors are added, with 6400MB/sec bi-directional links
On the back of each Altix 350 compute module:

  • 1 serial console port
  • 2 NUMAlink ports
  • 4 PCI-X ports Each compute module has 4 PCI-X 3.3V seperated on 2 busses one 100MHz the other 66MHz
    The base compute module has an IO9 which has the following ports:
  • 10/100/1000BaseT ethernet
  • 2 Ultra160 SCSI busses(1 internal, 1 external) for 320MB/s total SCSI bandwidth
  • Internal IDE port for DVDROM drive
  • Real time interrupt input and output ports
    Alternatively they can have an IO10 that has the following ports:
  • 10/100/1000BaseT ethernet
  • Serial ATA ports for the 2 internal drive slots
  • Internal IDE port for DVDROM drive
  • 4 external serial ports via breakout cable
  • Real time interrupt input and output ports

    They can have hot swapable redundant power supplies.

    Altix 350 parts and upgrades are available on Altix 350 Parts page.

    Altix 350 systems come with a fresh full installation of openSuSE linux. Media is not included unless otherwise noted.

    Altix 350 systems come with a 90day(from receipt) warranty that covers the hardware against failure. A 12 month warranty is available for an additional 10%.
