Leadership enterprise server with significantly lower cost of ownership in a highly available andexpandable, rack-dense, 2U dual-socket serverPlease see the Legal Information section for important notices and information. 4advantage of new system power management features, by providing actual realtime energymonitoring, reporting, and capping features.Availability and ServiceabilityThe System x3650 M3 provides many features to simplify serviceability and increase systemuptime:• x3650 M3 servers offer Chipkill ECC memory protection4 (when using x4 DIMMs). Chipkillmemory is up to 16X better than standard ECC memory at correcting memory errors. This canhelp reduce downtime caused by memory errors.• The x3650 M3 offers memory mirroring for redundancy in the event of a non-correctablememory failure• Toolless cover removal provides easy access to upgrades and serviceable parts, such asHDDs and memory. Similarly, the Virtual Media Key and the ServeRAID controller can beinstalled and replaced without tools. This means less time (and therefore less money) spentservicing the x3650 M3. Additionally, hot-swap/redundant HDDs, fan modules and powersupplies, as well as online mirrored memory, mean greater system uptime while thesecomponents are being serviced.• New toolless slides ship with the server, together with a Cable Management Arm (CMA),that allow the rack server to easily slide into place• IBM Thermal Diagnostics allows the administrator to evaluate thermal data on the serverwithout taking the hardware offline. This can provide greater server uptime.• The drop-down light path diagnostics panel and individual light path LEDs quickly lead thetechnician to failed (or failing) components. This simplifies servicing, speeds up problemresolution and helps improve network availability.• Integrated 3Gbps or 6Gbps RAID controller to enhance system availability and dataprotection without using a PCIe slot.• IPMI 2.0 supports highly secure remote system power control using data encryption. Thisallows an administrator to restart a server without having to visit it in person, saving travel timeand getting the server back up and running quickly and securely. It also adds new features tothose provided by IPMI 1.5, including VLAN support, Serial over LAN, enhancedauthentication and encryption algorithms (RMCP+ and AES) and a firmware firewall.• Altitude- and temperature-controlled fans adjust to compensate for changing thermalcharacteristics. At the lower speeds they draw less power and suffer less wear. Equallyimportant in a crowded data center, temperature-controlled fans produce less ambient noise inthe data center than if they were constantly running at full speed.• The three-year (parts and labor) limited onsite warranty5 helps afford you peace of mindand greater investment protection than a one-year warranty does.Key Features High-Performance / High-Efficiency Xeon 5600 Series ProcessorsThe x3650 M3 supports up to two high-performance Intel Xeon 5600 series processors, allowingyou to upgrade to a second processor as your business needs require. The x3650 M3 offers achoice of processor clock rates, memory access speeds and energy draw, including:• 130W 6-core Xeon 5600 model X5690 running at 3.46GHz, with impressive performance/watt(21.67W per core; 6.4GTps QPI speed), 12MB of L3 processor cache, 1333MHz memoryaccess, 2 threads per core, and Intel Turbo Boost technology• 95W 6-core Xeon 5600 models X5675, X5660 or X5650 running at 3.06, 2.8 or 2.66GHz,respectively, with reduced power draw and impressive performance/watt (only 15.83W percore; 6.4GTps QPI speed), 12MB of L3 processor cache, 1333MHz memory access, 2 threadsper core, and Intel Turbo Boost technology• 80W 6-core Xeon 5600 models E5649 or E5645 running at 2.53 or 2.4GHz, respectively, withreduced power draw and impressive performance/watt (only 13.33W per core; 5.86GTps QPIspeed), 12MB of L3 processor cache, 1333MHz memory access, 2 threads per core, and IntelTurbo Boost technology• 60W 6-core Xeon 5600 low-voltage model L5640 running at 2.26GHz, with low power drawand impressive performance/watt (only 10W per core; 5.86GTps QPI speed), and 12MB ofshared L3 cache, 1333MHz memory access, 2 threads per core, and Intel Turbo Boosttechnology4 Chipkill protection is supported with x4 DDR3 DIMMs, but not x8 DIMMs.5 For terms and conditions or copies of the IBM Statement of Limited Warranty, call 800-772-2227 in the U.S. In Canada call 800-426-2255.
