Chapter 1. The System x3850 M2 and System x3950 M2 server The IBM® System x3850 M2 and System x3950 M2 Types 7141 and 7233 servers are 4-U1-high, high-performance servers. They are ideally suited for networking environments that require superior microprocessor performance, efficient asset management, flexibility, and large amounts of reliable data storage. When they are available, you can purchase one or more SMP expansion kits to interconnect System x3850 M2 and System x3950 M2 servers to create multi-node configurations of two, three, or four nodes, for up to a 16-socket operation. 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 Information document. The server contains IBM Enterprise X-Architecture® technologies, which help increase performance and reliability. For more information, see "What your server offers" on page 6 and "Reliability, availability, and serviceability" on page 8.
