Compatibility
The System x3650 M2 server systems contain licensed system programs that
include set configuration, set features, and test programs. System UEFI is loaded
from a "flash" EEPROM into system memory. This UEFI provides instructions and
interfaces designed to support the standard features of the x3650 M2 and to
maintain compatibility with many current software programs.
For detailed information about IBM and non-IBM devices, adapters, software, and
network operating systems supported with xSeries servers, visit
http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/
Contact your IBM representative or IBM Business Partner, or refer to the IBM Sales
Manual for information on the compatibility of hardware and software for System
servers. The Sales Manual is updated periodically as new features and options are
announced that support these servers.
Limitations
• The System x3650 M2 server contains a single, configurable serial port. It can
be configured to be operating-system-controlled, service-processor-controlled,
or shared between the two. You can set the configuration by UEFI configuration.
The default configuration from the factory is in the shared position. In the shared
position, the service processor controls the port until the operating system is
running, then the operating system takes control. The service processor can
regain control of the port for user-configured dial-out situations or if the operating
system is not available, but operating system control cannot be reestablished
without resetting the server.
• System x3650 M2 servers can address a maximum of 128 GB of system memory.
All supported system memory is addressable through direct memory access. The
System x3650 M2 server supports 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, and optional 8 GB DDR3
SDRAM Registered DIMMs. All supported DIMMs can coexist in the same system.
Refer to the Planning information section for supported memory options.
