DIMMs. RDIMMs are available in kits consisting of one 1GB DIMM or two 1GB, 2GB, 4GB,
or 8GB DIMMs. Mixing UDIMMs and RDIMMs in the same server is not supported. Mixing
ECC and non-ECC UDIMMs is supported; however the result will be all DIMMs operating in
non-ECC mode.
The x3200 M3 supports both single- and dual-rank UDIMMs. Single-, dual-, and quad-
rank RDIMMs are supported. Up to 6 single- or dual-rank RDIMMs, or up to 4 quad-rank
RDIMMs can be used. Maximum capacities include:
• 4 single-rank UDIMMs (4 x 2GB = 8GB)
• 4 dual-rank UDIMMs (4 x 4GB = 16GB)
• 6 single-rank RDIMMs (6 x 2GB = 12GB)
• 6 dual-rank RDIMMs (6 x 4GB = 24GB)
• 4 quad-rank RDIMMs (4 x 8GB = 32GB)
Integrated Virtualization
All models of the x3200 M3 support an optional USB 2.0 Flash Key installed preloaded with
VMware vSphere Hypervisor (formerly ESXi). Rather than management through a Service
Console based on a Linux operating system, vSphere Hypervisor relies on aggregate
management tools, including VirtualCenter, the Remote Command Line interface and the
introduction of CIM for standards-based and agentless hardware monitoring.
vSphere Hypervisor includes all the performance, scalability and compatibility features of a
hypervisor installed on disk, including full VMFS support across FC SAN, iSCSI SAN, and
NAS, and 4-way VSMP. Because it runs from flash memory, it’s extremely fast and ideal for
diskless configurations. It also offers enhanced security, because it runs without an
operating system-based console and is updated/patched much like firmware.
Gigabit Ethernet Controller
The x3200 M3 includes two integrated single-port Intel 82574L Gigabit Ethernet controllers
for up to 10X higher maximum throughput than a 10/100 Ethernet controller. The controller
provides fully integrated Media Access Control (MAC) and Physical-Layer (PHY) capabilities
that can be configured for either 1000Mb/s or 10/100 Mb/s modes of operation. The first port
supports the IMM systems management functions.
The controller also supports Wake on LAN
®
and PXE (Preboot Execution Environment)
flash interface. Optional PCI adapters offering failover and load balancing between adapters
are available for added throughput and increased system availability.
Hot-Swap/Redundant Components
System availability is maximized through the use of hot-swap and redundant components,
including:
• Hot-swap/redundant or simple-swap hard disk drives (with RAID-1/1E protection
standard)
• Hot-swap, redundant power supplies (model-specific or via CTO)
Large HDD Storage Capacity
The x3200 M3 offers a choice of disk storage, supporting up to four 3.5-inch simple-swap
or hot-swap Serial ATA II (SATA II) drives, or four 3.5-inch hot-swap high-performance
Serial-Attach SCSI (SAS) drives, or up to eight 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS drives (via CTO).
3.5-inch Hot-Swap SAS
• 15,000 RPMs — 300, 450, or 600GB (2.4TB maximum capacity)
• 7,200 RPMs — 1 or 2TB (8TB)
3.5-inch Hot-Swap SATA
• 10,000 RPMs — 250, 500 or 750GB (3TB)
• 7,200 RPMs — 1 or 2TB (8.0TB)
3.5-inch Simple-Swap SATA
• 10,000 RPMs — 250, 500GB (2TB)
• 7,200 RPMs — 2TB (8.0TB)
2.5-inch Hot-Swap SAS (3Gbps or 6Gbps)
• 15,000 RPMs — 73.4 or 146.8GB (1.17TB)
• 10,000 RPMs — 146.8, 300, or 600GB (4.8TB)
