IBM X3650 M3 specifications Key Features

Leadership enterprise server with significantly lower cost of ownership in a highly available and expandable, rack-dense, 2U dual-socket server

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. 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.
Key Features	High-Performance / High-Efficiency Xeon 5600 / 5500 Processors
	The x3650 M3 supports up to two high-performance Intel Xeon 5600 Series or 5500 Series
