IBM System x3300 M4

IBM Redbooks Product Guide

The IBM® System x3300 M4 is a high-throughput network server with excellent performance scalability 
when you add memory and a second processor. They incorporate the powerful Intel Xeon processor 
E5-2400 product family with up to 15 MB cache. The energy-efficient design of the server supports two 
processors and 12 memory modules. It also supports either eight 3.5-inch HDDs or sixteen 2.5-inch 
HDDs or solid-state drives in a scalable tower or 4U rack package that is easy to service and manage. 
With more computing power per watt and the latest Intel Xeon processors, you can reduce costs and 
maintain speed and availability.

Suggested use for the IBM System x3300 M4 is for general business applications, collaboration/email, 
web, and virtualized desktops in a workgroup or distributed environments.

The following figure shows the IBM System x3300 M4 server.

Did you know?

The x3300 M4 server offers a flexible design with a choice of 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drives, with up to six 
PCIe slots (four of which are PCIe 3.0) and up to 192 GB of memory. The Onboard Ethernet solution 
provides up to four integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports without occupying PCIe slots. Comprehensive 
systems management tools with the next-generation IBM Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) make 
it easy to deploy, integrate, service, and manage.
