IBM System x3100 M4
3
Three-year customer replaceable unit and onsite limited warranty, next business day 9x5. Optional
service upgrades available.
Manageability and security
Powerful systems management features simplify local and remote management of the x3100 M4:
The server includes an Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) to monitor server availability and
perform remote management (some features require optional license upgrades).
Integrated industry-standard Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) enables improved setup,
configuration, and updates, and simplifies error handling.
Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2 support enables advanced cryptographic functionality,
such as digital signatures and remote attestation.
Intel Xeon Processor E3-1200 v2 family supports Industry-standard Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES) NI support for faster, stronger encryption.
IBM Systems Director is included for proactive systems management. It offers comprehensive
systems management tools that help to increase up-time, reduce costs, and improve productivity
through advanced server management capabilities.
Intel Execute Disable Bit functionality can help prevent certain classes of malicious buffer overflow
attacks when combined with a supporting operating system.
Energy efficiency
The x3100 M4 offers the following energy-efficiency features to save energy, reduce operational costs,
increase energy availability, and contribute to the green environment:
Energy-efficient planar components help lower operational costs.
Efficient 350 W power supply or 300 W 80 PLUS certified power supply.
The Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 v2 product family offers significantly better performance over the
previous generation while fitting into the same thermal design power (TDP) limits.
Low-voltage Intel Xeon processors draw less energy to satisfy demands of power and thermally
constrained data centers and telecommunication environments.
The server uses hexagonal ventilation holes, a part of IBM Calibrated Vectored Cooling™ technology.
Hexagonal holes can be grouped more densely than round holes, providing more efficient airflow
through the system.
