I/O expansion options

The server supports up to four PCI Express slots with different riser cards installed into two riser sockets on the system planar (one riser socket supports installation of one riser card). The slot form factors are as follows:

Slot 1: Full height, full length

Slot 2: Low profile with standard bracket

Slot 3: Full height, full length

Slot 4: Full height, half length

Riser 1 supplies slots 1 and 2. Riser 2 supplies slots 3 and 4. Standard models have two riser cards installed that provide a total of four PCI Express 2.0 x8 slots (two PCI Express x8 Gen 2 slots per riser card).

You can replace each standard riser with one of the following risers (or configure one of these riser cards instead of the standard 2 x8 riser using special bid or CTO) :

Riser with one PCI Express x16 Gen 2 slot

Riser with two PCI-X 64 bit/133 MHz slots

The following table lists the PCI riser card options.

Network adapters

x3650 M3 supports up to four integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports. Two ports are standard, and two ports can be added by installing the optional Dual-port Gigabit Ethernet Daughter card, 46M1076. This card uses a dedicated connector on the motherboard and does not consume a PCI expansion slot. Integrated NICs have the following features:

Broadcom BCM5709 chip

TCP Offload Engine (TOE) support

Wake on LAN support

802.1Q VLAN tagging support

NIC Teaming (load balancing and failover)
