IBM System x3850 X6 12
Additional power: Depending on your workload and configuration you may need to provision for
additional PDU outlets, cables and power capacity for your x3950 X6 server. Use the IBM Power
Configurator to determine your total power draw to assist you in provisioning adequate power. You
can download the IBM Power Configurator from
http://ibm.com/systems/bladecenter/resources/powerconfig.html
Additional rack space: An additional 4U of rack space is required when upgrading the x3850 X6 to the
x3950 X6, for a total of 8U of rack space.
Down time: In order to upgrade the x3850 X6 server to a x3950 X6 server you will need to allow for
down time. The server will need to be completely powered off and have some of its components
removed for re-installation into the new x3950 X6 server.
