Chapter 4. IBM System x3690 X5 119
Figure 4-1 IBM System x3690 X5
Figure 4-1 shows the x3690 X5 server with 16 hot-swap 2.5-inch SAS disk drives installed.
The x3690 server has these physical specifications:
Height: 86 mm (3.5 inches, 2U)
Depth: 698 mm (27.4 inches)
Width: 429 mm (16.8 inches)
Maximum weight: 31.3 kg (69 lb) when fully configured
Each disk drive has an orange-colored bar. This color denotes that these disks are
hot-swappable. The color coding that is used throughout the system is orange for
hot-swappable and blue for non-hot-swappable. The only hot-swappable parts in this server
are the HDDs, fans, and power supplies. All other parts require that the server is powered off
before removing that component.
