THE IBM HS22V is a two-way high-performance blade server introduced in 2010. The system board contains two CPUs with nine memory slots, and capacity for up to 18 DDR-3 VLP DIMM slots. The CPUs are Intel Xeon 5500 and 5600 series processors. When one processor is installed, then only nine DIMM slots can be used. When two processors are installed, all 18 DIMM slots can be used, supporting up to 288Gb of memory. Inside, the unit has a USB connector for bootable flash key, and several switches, including Switch 1, which handles everything from resets, recovery, forced inputs and settings, and can override the startup passwords.
