PRODUCT CODE : NF5180M6
Inspur NF5180M6 Server is the 1U offering that as we go through the server will remind many of our readers of the Inspur NF5280M6 2U server we reviewed. Inspur’s methodology is to build one base motherboard platform then customize the I/O and chassis to 1U for density or 2U for more expandability. That helps drive volume and therefore quality with more systems deployed. The front of the Inspur NF5180M6 Server has twelve 2.5″ drive bays. These bays can be either SAS, SATA, or NVMe depending on the configuration. We are just going to quickly note here that Inspur has a number of different options and up to a 32x E1.S EDSFF SSD solution for high-end storage.
Since Inspur NF5180M6 Server is a third-generation Intel Xeon scalable server, we have eight memory channels per CPU and two DIMMs per channel. With two CPUs that gives the server the ability to support up to 32 DIMMs. Inspur NF5180M6 Server can also support higher-power Intel Optane PMem modules here as well. Inspur’s solution supports high-end Intel Xeon Platinum SKUs with top-bin TDPs. Some 1U servers do not support up to 270W TDP CPUs like the Xeon Platinum 8380, but Inspur NF5180M6 Server does in this design. One small item worth noting is what is between the fans and the CPU and memory. Here we can see several PCIe headers that can be used to enable NVMe on the front storage. If this was an EDSFF or other configuration where more PCIe lanes in the front are needed, we would expect to see cables running from this area, through the center channel, and to the backplane. Having the center cable channel between the fans also helps with cable management versus having to bring all of the cables to the side of the chassis and around the fans.
Inspur NF5180M6 Server primary management is via IPMI and Redfish APIs. We have shown this before, so we are not going to go into too much extra, but will have a recap here. That is what most hyperscale and CSP customers will utilize to manage their systems. Inspur NF5180M6 Server also includes a robust and customized web management platform with its management solution. There are key features we would expect from any modern server. These include the ability to power cycle a system and remotely mount virtual media. Inspur NF5180M6 Server also has a HTML5 iKVM solution that has these features included. Some other server vendors do not have fully-featured HTML5 iKVM including virtual media support as of this review being published.
