Leadership enterprise server with significantly lower cost of ownership in a highly available and expandable, rack-dense, 2U dual-socket server Key Features advantage of new system power management features, by providing actual realtime energy monitoring, reporting, and capping features. Availability and Serviceability The System x3650 M3 provides many features to simplify serviceability and increase system uptime: • x3650 M3 servers offer Chipkill ECC memory protection4 (when using x4 DIMMs). Chipkill memory is up to 16X better than standard ECC memory at correcting memory errors. This can help reduce downtime caused by memory errors. • The x3650 M3 offers memory mirroring for redundancy in the event of a non-correctable memory failure • Toolless cover removal provides easy access to upgrades and serviceable parts, such as HDDs and memory. Similarly, the Virtual Media Key and the ServeRAID controller can be installed and replaced without tools. This means less time (and therefore less money) spent servicing the x3650 M3. Additionally, hot-swap/redundant HDDs, fan modules and power supplies, as well as online mirrored memory, mean greater system uptime while these components are being serviced. • New toolless slides ship with the server, together with a Cable Management Arm (CMA), that allow the rack server to easily slide into place • IBM Thermal Diagnostics allows the administrator to evaluate thermal data on the server without taking the hardware offline. This can provide greater server uptime. • The drop-down light path diagnostics panel and individual light path LEDs quickly lead the technician to failed (or failing) components. This simplifies servicing, speeds up problem resolution and helps improve network availability. • Integrated 3Gbps or 6Gbps RAID controller to enhance system availability and data protection without using a PCIe slot. • IPMI 2.0 supports highly secure remote system power control using data encryption. This allows an administrator to restart a server without having to visit it in person, saving travel time and getting the server back up and running quickly and securely. It also adds new features to those provided by IPMI 1.5, including VLAN support, Serial over LAN, enhanced authentication and encryption algorithms (RMCP+ and AES) and a firmware firewall. • Altitude- and temperature-controlled fans adjust to compensate for changing thermal characteristics. At the lower speeds they draw less power and suffer less wear. Equally important in a crowded data center, temperature-controlled fans produce less ambient noise in the data center than if they were constantly running at full speed. • The three-year (parts and labor) limited onsite warranty5 helps afford you peace of mind and greater investment protection than a one-year warranty does. High-Performance / High-Efficiency Xeon 5600 Series Processors The x3650 M3 supports up to two high-performance Intel Xeon 5600 series processors, allowing you to upgrade to a second processor as your business needs require. The x3650 M3 offers a choice of processor clock rates, memory access speeds and energy draw, including: • 130W 6-core Xeon 5600 model X5690 running at 3.46GHz, with impressive performance/watt (21.67W per core; 6.4GTps QPI speed), 12MB of L3 processor cache, 1333MHz memory access, 2 threads per core, and Intel Turbo Boost technology • 95W 6-core Xeon 5600 models X5675, X5660 or X5650 running at 3.06, 2.8 or 2.66GHz, respectively, with reduced power draw and impressive performance/watt (only 15.83W per core; 6.4GTps QPI speed), 12MB of L3 processor cache, 1333MHz memory access, 2 threads per core, and Intel Turbo Boost technology • 80W 6-core Xeon 5600 models E5649 or E5645 running at 2.53 or 2.4GHz, respectively, with reduced power draw and impressive performance/watt (only 13.33W per core; 5.86GTps QPI speed), 12MB of L3 processor cache, 1333MHz memory access, 2 threads per core, and Intel Turbo Boost technology • 60W 6-core Xeon 5600 low-voltage model L5640 running at 2.26GHz, with low power draw and impressive performance/watt (only 10W per core; 5.86GTps QPI speed), and 12MB of shared L3 cache, 1333MHz memory access, 2 threads per core, and Intel Turbo Boost technology 4 Chipkill protection is supported with x4 DDR3 DIMMs, but not x8 DIMMs. 5 For terms and conditions or copies of the IBM Statement of Limited Warranty, call 800-772-2227 in the U.S. In Canada call 800- 426-2255.
