IBM System x3300 M4, Installation And Service Manual

Page: 29 / 470

The server system implements 6 DIMM slots per processor which is total 12
DIMM slots. It supports up to 384 GB Max. Memory (12 DIMMs x 32 GB
RDIMM/LRDIMM = 384 GB).
The server memory controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to 12
industry-standard PC3-10600R-999 1333 MHz, PC3-12800 1600 MHz, and
PC3-8500 1066 MHz (single-rank or dual-rank), DDR3 (third-generation
double-data-rate), registered or unbuffered, synchronous dynamic random access
memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).
v Multi-core processors
Depending on your server models, the server supports up to two Intel Xeon
™
EN E5-2400 series microprocessors. This server comes with only one
microprocessor installed.
v PCI Express adapter capabilities
The system board provides six PCI express slots. Slot one can be functional only
when the microprocessor 2 is populated. Slot 6 has PCI-X capability by using
PCIe to PCI-X converter kit. See “Installing an adapter” on page 79 for detailed
information.
v
Redundant connection
The Intel Gigabit Ethernet controller provides failover capability to a redundant
Ethernet connection with the applicable application installed. If a problem occurs
with the primary Ethernet connection and the optional Ethernet adapter is
installed in the server, all Ethernet traffic that is associated with the primary
connection is automatically switched to an optional Ethernet connection. If the
applicable device drivers are installed, this switching occurs without data loss
and without user intervention.
A feature upgrade key (IBM part number 90Y4349) is required to enable ports 3
and 4 on the Gigatbit Ethernet controller. See https://www-304.ibm.com/
systems/x/fod/index.wss for detailed information on product feature activation.
v
Cooling and optional power capabilities
The server supports up to four speed-controlled simple-swap fans for a full
configuration.
The server comes with one fixed 460-watt, or two hot-swap 550-watt or 750-watt
power supply installed. The server supports a maximum of two 550-watt or two
750-watt hot-swap power supplies.
For redundancy support on hot-swap models, two power-supplies must be
installed in the server. Two power supplies enables continued operation if one of
the power supplies fails.
v
ServeRAID support
A ServeRAID adapter provides hardware redundant array of independent disks
(RAID) support to create configurations. The standard RAID adapter provides
RAID levels 0, 1, and 10. An optional RAID adapter is available for purchase.
v Service Advisor
The server comes with the Service Advisor feature that can collect data about the
system when a the system detects a fault and sends that data to IBM Service for
problem determination. It also includes the call home feature that automatically
calls IBM Service when a problem occurs. The Service Advisor feature is
integrated into the Integrated Management Module II (IMM2). You will need to
setup and configure the Service Advisor feature before you can use it. For more
information about how to setup and configure the Service Advisor feature, see
the
Integrated Management Module User's Guide at http://www.ibm.com/
