IBM System x3650 M3 23
I/O expa nsion 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)
