IBM System x3630 M4 (E5-2400) 4Low-voltage Intel Xeon processors draw less energy to satisfy the demands of power and thermallyconstrained data centers and telecommunication environments.Low-voltage 1.35 V DDR3 memory RDIMMs consume 19% less energy compared to 1.5 V DDR3RDIMMs.Solid state drives (SSDs) consume as much as 80% less power than traditional spinning HDDs.The server uses hexagonal ventilation holes, a part of IBM Calibrated Vectored Cooling™ technology.Hexagonal holes can be grouped more densely than round holes, providing more efficient airflowthrough the system.IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager™ provides advanced data center power notification andmanagement to help achieve lower heat output and reduced cooling needs.Locations of key components and connectorsThe following figure shows the front of the server with eight 3.5-inch drive bays.Figure 2.
