A highly available and expandable, rack-dense, 2U dual-socket SMP server, for application 
serving in Web environments

 

Please see the Legal Information section for important notices and information. 

updated frequently to ensure that the latest compatibility information is always at your fingertips. 

The IBM 

Standalone Solutions Configuration Tool 

(SSCT) is a downloadable tool that 

simplifies the often complex chore of configuring a full rack of servers (including blade servers) 
and confirming that you have all the cables, power distribution units, KVM (keyboard, video and 
mouse) switch boxes and other components you need, as well as the proper airflow clearances, 
electrical circuits and other environmental conditions. 

IBM

 System x and BladeCenter Power Configurator

 helps IT managers plan for data center 

power needs, by providing the following information for specific configurations of System x and 
BladeCenter systems: 

power input

 (watts), 

PDU sizing

 (amps), 

heat output

 (BTUs), 

airflow 

requirements through chassis

 (CFM), 

VA rating

leakage current

 (mA), and 

peak inrush current

 

(amps). 

IBM 

ServerGuide

 (installed from CD) simplifies the process of installing and configuring System 

x and xSeries servers. ServerGuide goes beyond mere hardware configuration by assisting with 
the automated installation of the Microsoft

®

 Windows

®

 Server 2000 and 2003 operating 

systems, device drivers and other system components, with minimal user intervention. (Drivers 
are also included for support of Novell NetWare, Red Hat Linux and SUSE LINUX.) This focus 
on deployment helps you reduce both your total cost of ownership and the complexity that 
administrators and technical personnel face. 

IBM 

Electronic Service Agent

 is an innovative “call home” feature that allows System x and 

BladeCenter servers to automatically report hardware problems to IBM support, which can even 
dispatch onsite service

7

 if necessary to those customers entitled to onsite support under the 

terms of their warranty or an IBM Maintenance Agreement. Electronic Service Agent resides on 
a server and provides electronic support and problem management capabilities through a highly 
secure electronic dialogue between your systems and IBM. It monitors networked servers for 
hardware errors and it can perform hardware and software inventories and report inventory 
changes to IBM. All information sent to IBM is stored in a highly secure database and used for 
improved problem determination. 

Additional services include hardware warranty upgrades and factory-installed 

Product 

Customization Services

 (PCS), such as asset tagging, hardware integration, software imaging 

and operating systems personalization. 

IBM offers extensive 

technical support

 by phone and via the Web. Support options include 

links to forums/newsgroups, problem submission, online shopping support, service offerings, 
device drivers for all IBM product lines, software downloads and even upcoming technical 
seminar worldwide schedules and registration. Also available are remote installation, 
configuration and usage support for System x and xSeries hardware and software, as well as 
onsite custom services to provide the level of expertise you require. 

 

Advanced Systems Management Capabilities 

The x3650 has a high level of systems management capabilities that are well-suited to remote 
locations as well as to stand-alone environments. Features include the Baseboard Management 
Controller

 (BMC),

 IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager for x86, Automatic Server 

Restart, Wake on LAN

®

 support, PXE support, text console redirect, Predictive Failure Analysis, 

IBM Director and support for an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine. 

The BMC provides industry-standard

compliant systems management. It provides a number of important system functions, including: 

  Monitoring of system and battery voltage, system temperature, fans, power supplies, 

processor and DIMM status 

  Fan speed control 

  Product ID and Family ID detection 

  Highly secure remote power on/off 

  System reset control 

  NMI/SMI detection and generation 

  System diagnostic LED control (power, HDD, activity, alerts, heartbeat) 

  IPMI over LAN 

  Serial Over LAN 

  Proxy server support 

  LAN messaging and alerting 

  Text console redirection over LAN 

  VLAN support 

  Enhanced authentication and encryption algorithms (RMCP+, SHA-1, AES)
