The server supports up to two Intel Xeon
™
E5-2600v2 series multi-core
microprocessors. The server comes with only one microprocessor installed.
v Mobile access to IBM Service Information website
The server provides a QR code on the system service label, which is on the
cover of the server, that you can scan using a QR code reader and scanner with
a mobile device to get quick access to the IBM Service Information website. The
IBM Service Information website provides additional information for parts
installation and replacement videos, and error codes for server support. For the
QR code, see QR code information on page Chapter 1, “The IBM System x3650
M4 BD Type 5466 server,” on page 1.
v IBM Systems Director CD
IBM Systems Director is a workgroup-hardware-management tool that you can
use to centrally manage System x and xSeries servers. For more information, see
the IBM Systems Director documentation on the IBM Systems Director CD and
“IBM Systems Director” on page 15
v IBM X-Architecture
®
technology
IBM X-Architecture technology combines proven, innovative IBM designs to
make your Intel-processor-based server powerful, scalable, and reliable. For
more information, see .
– Active
™
Memory active memorymemory
The Active Memory feature improves the reliability of memory through
memory mirroring. Memory mirroring mode replicates and stores data on
two pairs of DIMMs within two channels simultaneously. If a failure occurs,
the memory controller switches from the primary pair of memory DIMMs to
the backup pair of DIMMs. For more information about installing DIMMs for
memory mirroring, see “Memory module installation” on page 60.
– Large system-memory capacity
The server supports up to a maximum of 512 GB of system memory. The
server supports only industry-standard double-data-rate 3 (DDR3) - 1600
MHz or 1866 MHz (depending on the configuration), synchronous dynamic
random-access memory (SDRAM) registered dual inline memory modules
(DIMMs) with error correcting code (ECC). For further details, see Problem
Determination and Service Guide on the IBM System x Documentation CD.
v IBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, which you can download from the
web, provides programs to help you set up the server and install a Windows
operating system. The ServerGuide program detects installed optional hardware
devices and provides the correct configuration programs and device drivers. For
more information about the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, see “Using the
ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD” on page 90.
v Integrated network support
The server comes with an integrated 3-port Gigabit Ethernet controller, which
supports connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. For more
information, see “Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page 104.
v Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
This integrated security chip performs cryptographic functions and stores
private and public secure keys. It provides the hardware support for the Trusted
Computing Group (TCG) specification. You can download the software to
support the TCG specification, when the software is available. See
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/xseries/scalable_family.html for details
about the TPM implementation. You can enable TPM support through the Setup
utility under the System Security menu option.
