• The x3400 M2 can be upgraded to SMP by adding a second processor of the same
type, speed, and cache size.
• System memory can be expanded to 96 GB by installing a 8 GB ECC RDIMM
option in each of the twelve memory DIMM sockets2
• These models contain eight hot-swap bays or four simple-swap drive bays and are
shipped without HDDs to allow customers or remarketers to configure the server
to meet various storage requirements depending upon the application.
The x3400 M2 provides eight (or four) storage expansion bays, and six PCI
expansion slots. The models come with one standard 670 watt power supply for
robust applications.
• The eleven (or seven) bays consist of four, 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA drive
bays, or (eight 2.5-inch simple-swap SAS drive bays), three 5.25-inch half-high
drive bays, allowing access to removable media devices.
• System x3400 M2 contains six, PCI/PCI-E expansion slots:
– Slot 1 : PCIe2 x8 : PCI-E x8 slot with x8 lanes (Gen2, from IOH) support
– Slot 2 : PCIe2 x16 (8,1) : PCI-E x16 slot with x8 lanes (Gen2, from IOH)
support
– Slot 3 : PCIe2 x8 (4,1) : PCI-E x8 slot with x4 lanes (Gen2, from IOH) support
– Slot 4 : PCIe2 x8 (4,1) : PCI-E x8 slot with x4 lanes (Gen2, from IOH) support
– Slot 5 : PCIe2 x8 : PCI-E x8 slot with x8 lanes (Gen2, from IOH) support
– Slot 6 : PCI-32 : PCI-32 slot with 32bit/33MHz (from ICH-10) support
– Optional extender board supports 2-PCI-X or one PCI-E x4 slot
The x3400 M2 standard features include:
• A 4.8 GTS QPI with Intel E5502 2C processor, Intel E5504 processor 4C with 4 MB
cache and a 5.86 GTS QPI with Intel E5520, E5530, E5540 processor 4C with 8
MB cache
• Second socket for Intel Xeon processor
• Memory subsystem consists of ECC DDR3 RDIMMs 1333 MHz with an ECC memory
controller
• DDR3 ECC RDIMMs, combined with an integrated ECC memory controller, corrects
many soft and hard single-bit memory errors, and minimizes disruption of service
to LAN clients
• An SVGA controller with 16 MB video memory
• An integrated management module
• Dual channel, SAS/SATA controller or native SATA controller
• Integrated Broadcom 5709C dual Gigabit Ethernet controller
• A SATA DVD-ROM drive
• Time Of Day clock and battery
• Standard Device Ports/Connectors:
– Keyboard
– Pointing Device
– SVGA port
– Three RJ-455 connectors; one 10/100 RJ45 for iMM and two for Ethernet
connectors
– Two high speed serial/asynchronous port, (NS16550A compatible)
– Two USB (front) and four USB (rear) ports, one internal USB port
