Chapter 1. The System x3655 Type 7985 server The IBM® System x3655 Type 7985 server is a 2-U1 -high server that is ideally suited for networking environments that require superior microprocessor performance, efficient memory management, and flexibility. The server can be upgraded to a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server through the addition of an optional microprocessor. The server has two model styles, which are based on the size and number of hard disk drive bays: v The 3.5-inch models have six 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drive bays. Install only 3.5-inch drives in these models. If you install an optional tape drive, the tape drive occupies two of the six 3.5-inch drive bays. v The 2.5-inch models have eight 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drive bays and one 3.5-inch tape drive bay. Install only 2.5-inch hard disk drives and an optional 3.5-inch tape drive in these models. Throughout this documentation, the terms 2.5-inch models and 3.5-inch models are used to distinguish between the server styles. Performance, ease of use, reliability, and expansion capabilities were key considerations in the design of the server. These design features make it possible for you to customize the system hardware to meet your needs today and provide flexible expansion capabilities for the future. The server comes with a limited warranty. For information about the terms of the warranty and getting service and assistance, see the Warranty and Support Information document. The server contains IBM Enterprise X-Architecture™ technologies, which help increase performance and reliability.
