IBM System x3500 M4 3
The server offers hot-swap drives supporting RAID redundancy for data protection and greater
z
system uptime.
The server has up to two redundant hot-swap power supplies and up to six simple swap N+N
z
redundant fans to provide availability for business-critical applications.
The power source independent light path diagnostics panel and individual light path LEDs quickly
z
lead the technician to failed (or failing) components. This simplifies servicing, speeds up problem
resolution and helps improve system availability.
The Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) detects when system components (for example, processors,
z
memory, hard disk drives) operate outside of standard thresholds and generates pro-active alerts in
advance of possible failure, therefore increasing uptime.
Built-in Integrated Management Module Version II (IMM2) continuously monitors system parameters,
z
triggers alerts, and performs recovering actions in case of failures to minimize downtime.
Built-in diagnostics using Dynamic Systems Analysis (DSA) Preboot speeds up troubleshooting tasks
z
to reduce service time.
Three-year customer replaceable unit and onsite limited warranty, next business day 9x5. Optional
z
service upgrades available.
Manageability and security
Powerful systems management features simplify local and remote management of the x3500 M4:
The server includes an Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) to monitor server availability and
z
perform remote management.
Integrated industry-standard Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) enables improved setup,
z
configuration, and updates, and simplifies error handling.
Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2 support enables advanced cryptographic functionality,
z
such as digital signatures and remote attestation.
Industry-standard AES NI support for faster, stronger encryption.
z
IBM Systems Director is included for proactive systems management. It offers comprehensive
z
systems management tools that help to increase up-time, reduce costs, and improve productivity
through advanced server management capabilities.
Intel Execute Disable Bit functionality can help prevent certain classes of malicious buffer overflow
z
attacks when combined with a supporting operating system.
Intel Trusted Execution Technology provides enhanced security through hardware-based resistance
z
to malicious software attacks, allowing an application to run in its own isolated space protected from
all other software running on a system.
Energy efficiency
The x3500 M4 offers the following energy-efficiency features to save energy, reduce operational costs,
increase energy availability, and contribute to the green environment:
Energy-efficient planar components help lower operational costs.
z
High-efficient 750 W and 900 W power supplies with 80 PLUS Platinum certification.
z
The Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family offers significantly better performance over the
z
previous generation while fitting into the same thermal design power (TDP) limits.
Intel Intelligent Power Capability powers individual processor elements on and off as needed, to
z
reduce power draw.
