IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide
1.4.4 IBM Flex System p260 and p24L Compute Nodes
The IBM Flex System p260 Compute Node and IBM Flex System p24L Compute Node are
based on IBM POWER architecture technologies. These compute nodes run in IBM Flex
System Enterprise Chassis units to provide a high-density, high-performance compute node
environment, using advanced processing technology. The IBM Flex System p24L Compute
Node shares several similarities to the IBM Flex System p260 Compute Node in that it is a
half-wide, Power Systems compute node with two POWER7 processor sockets,16 memory
slots, two I/O adapter slots, and an option for up to two internal drives for local storage. The
IBM Flex System p24L Compute Node is optimized for lower-cost Linux installations.

The IBM Flex System p260 Compute Node has the following features:
Two processors with up to 16 POWER7 processing cores, up to 8 per processor
Sixteen DDR3 memory DIMM slots supporting Active Memory™ Expansion
Supports VLP (Very Low Profile) and LP (Low Profile) DIMMs
Two P7IOC I/O hubs
RAID-compatible SAS controller supporting up to 2 SSD or HDD drives
Two I/O adapter slots
Flexible Support Processor (FSP)
