Chapter 1. Introduction 5Table 1-4 x3690 X5 models1.2.5 Workload-optimized x3690 X5 modelsTable 1-5 on page 6 lists the workload-optimized models.Model 3Dx is designed for database applications and uses SSDs for the best I/Operformance. Backplane connections for sixteen 1.8-inch solid-state drives are standard andthere is space for an additional 16 solid-state drives. You must order the SSDs separately. NoSAS controllers are standard, which lets you select from the available cards, as described in4.9, “Storage” on page 145. The MAX5 is optional on this model.Model 2Dx is designed for virtualization applications and includes VMware ESXi 4.1 on anintegrated USB memory key. The server is fully populated with 4 GB memory DIMMs,including those in an attached MAX5 memory expansion unit, for a total of 256 GB ofmemory. Backplane connections for four 2.5-inch SAS drives are standard and there is spacefor an additional twelve 2.5-inch disk drives. You must order the drives separately.
