• PFA on HDD options, memory, power supply, and fans, to alert the system
administrator of an imminent component failure
• Dual Broadcom 5709 Gigabit Ethernet ports that support:
– Failover, Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT)
– PXE 2.0 Boot Agent
– IPMI 2.0 (Microsoft® Windows® only)
– Wake on LAN®

– TOE
• Worldwide, voltage-sensing 675-watt power supply with auto restart
• Up to three sets (two fans per set) of counter-rotating fans that provide excellent
cooling for added reliability:
– Each power supply comes with its own internal cooling fans.
– Three fan sets cool processors, memory, and HDD bays.
– Fan speed controls are incorporated to reduce noise, while reducing system
temperatures.
• Integrated systems management processor for diagnostic, reset, POST, and
auto recovery functions; monitoring temperature, voltage, and fan speed; alerts
generated when thresholds are exceeded (refer to the Limitations section for
restrictions)
• Information LED panel giving visual indications of system well-being
• Light path diagnostics and on-board diagnostics providing an error log that can
help find a failing component, helping reduce downtime and service costs
• Easy access to system board, adapter cards, processor, and memory
• CPU failure recovery in dual-socket configurations:
– Forces failed processor offline
– Server reboot capability
– Generates alerts
– Continues operations with the working processor
Expandability and growth
The System x3650 M2 server contains high levels of function and storage capacity
for a 2U, 19-inch rack-drawer package. It supports customer installation of
adapters, processors, memory, and HDD options. Functions such as SVGA video,
SATA, and two Gigabit Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board.
Features include:
• Rack-optimized design for 19-inch-wide, industry-standard rack cabinets
supported in the NetBAY42 and NetBAY25
• Sixteen DIMM connectors capable of support for up to 128 GB of system memory
• Twelve 2.5-inch slim-high, hot-swap SAS/SATA HDD or SSD bays
• Internal data storage up to 3600 GB (using twelve 300 GB SATA/SAS 2.5-inch
HDDs)
• 12.7-mm (0.5-inch) CD-RW/DVD Combo drive
Systems management
Integrated Management Module (IMM)
The System x3650 M2 includes an Integrated Management Module that provides
industry-standard Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0-compliant
systems management. The IMM comes standard, and shares one of the two onboard
Ethernet ports for access. The IMM can be accessed via software that is compatible
with IPMI 2.0 (xCAT, for example). The IMM is implemented using industry-leading
OSA firmware and applications in conjunction with the Integrated Management
Module.
