IBM Asia Pacific Hardware Announcement AG12-0014 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 15Cabling - Standard RAID configurationsAdditional cabling alternativesRack installationsSystem x3620 M3 2U rack-drawer models are designed to be installed in a 19-inch rack cabinet designed for 711.1 mm (28 in) deep devices, such as theNetBAY42U ER and NetBAY42U SR. Installation into some of the older Netfinity®racks (9306900, 9306910, 9306200) will require a rack extension kit for propercable bend radius and cooling.If a System x3620 M3 server is mounted in a non-IBM rack, the rack must satisfythe following specifications:• The rack must meet EIA-310-D standards for mounting flanges and holelocations.• The front to rear distance of the mounting flanges must be 635 - 788 mm (25 -31 in).• The thickness of the mounting flanges must be 1.9 - 3.3 mm (0.08 and 0.13 in).• The mounting flanges must have either 7.1 mm (0.28 in) diameter holes or 9.6mm (0.38 in) square holes on the standard EIA hole spacing.• The rack must have a minimum depth of 50 mm (1.97 in) between the frontmounting flange and inside of the front door for appropriate cooling.• The rack must have a minimum depth of 166 mm (6.53 in) between the rearmounting flange and inside of the rear door to install the server and providecable management space.• The minimum side-to-side clearance in the rack between the front and rearmounting flanges must be 467 mm (18.2 in) to accommodate the width of theserver and the slide mounting brackets.• The minimum side-to-side clearance in the rack between each door and themounting flanges must be 484 mm (19.1 in) to accommodate the slide mountingbrackets.• The rack must include perforated front and rear doors and must not prevent theflow of cool air into or out of the rack.• The weight-handling capacity of the rack must be able to support the maximumrack configuration, including all servers, external cables, power distribution units,and so on.• The rack must provide proper stabilization so that the rack does not becomeunstable when servers are pulled out for service.Processor optionsThe System x3620 M3 server is an Intel Xeon processor system that supportsinternal processing speeds of up to 3.20 GHz and processing operations to memoryup to 1333 MHz. It contains an integrated, full-speed 12 MB advanced transferL2 cache. This dual-socket system supports a second processor with the sameQuickPath Interconnect (QPI) link speed, Integrated Memory Controller frequency,core frequency, power segment, internal cache size and type of processor as thefirst.Power considerationsThe System x3620 M3 server includes a standard 460-watt power supply. Thispower supply is capable of providing sufficient power to run the server fullyconfigured with supported devices.Cable ordersThe dual 10/100/1000 Mbps, full-duplex, Ethernet PCI controllers, standard with theSystem x3620 M3 server, are connected directly to independent RJ-45 connectors.The RJ-45 connectors provide a 10/100/1000 Base-T interface (either at half- orfull-duplex) for connecting twisted-pair cable to the Ethernet network.
