In addition, the ability to manually fix errors and recover quickly, reduce risks, serve well for virtualized environments.

IBM X-Architecture gives System xSeries M2 with technological improvements such as:

Nehalem Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 Series processors with full range of low to high currents, optimizing the components connected within the system.

About the System x3650 M2 server with P / N: 794752A

Processor 2 x Intel Xeon 4C E5530 80W 2.4GHz / 1066MHz FSB / 8MB L3.Memory type DDR3 RDIMMS (1066 or 1333MHz) 4GB;internal memory up to 128GB (16 DIMMs).Intel 5520 Chipset (Tylersburg).SAS / SATA Controller: Integrated ServeRAID-BR10i (LSI 1068) SAS / SATA Controller, optional ServeRAID-MR10i (LSI 1078).Hard drive slot: 12 x 2.5 'hot-swap SAS / SATA, Solid state drives.Storage capacity in maximum: 3.6TB.Number of hard drives: 4 x 146 GB 2.5in SFF Slim-HS 10K 6Gbps SAS HDD.

New SAS standard hard drive for high-speed 6Gb / s bandwidth, high-performance access, large capacity, energy-saving operation. System xSeries M2 also supports SSD hard drive (solid-state hard drive) for high performance, power saving, durable operation. The total number of hard drives on the server has also been enhanced, up to 12 HDDs, improving the availability and reliability of the system, meeting the ongoing IT service for businesses.

New remote server control technology Integrated Management Module (IMM) built into the x3650 M2, x3550M2, x3400 M2, x3500 M2 for users to control and administer the server easily both internal and administrative from far away.

IBM Systems Director 6.1, the new version of system management software, allows for the status of the operating system, fault warning before failing for CPU, HDD, RAM, and fan power components.

The power management software for IBM Systems Director Server Active Energy Manager allows you to set power thresholds according to performance to meet your system's needs for energy saving options, besides are the IBM ServerGuide ™ installation software and instructions and support for installation from Virtual Media Key for remote installation and operation.

These state-of-the-art technologies help optimize system availability, intermittent network connectivity, hot-swap hard drives, and high-performance SAS, high-capacity SATA, solid-state drives. High performance SSD.

Another important new innovation on the new generation X-Architecture M2 is the replacement of the old BIOS with United Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) providing a more intuitive interface for users, better managing the internal components of the server. , record the activity events of device components so that users know how all components are operating.
