The x3650M2 uses up to 16 DIMMs with 128GB of registered 1333MHz DDR3 memory with
Chipkill
Chipkill
™
ECC (Error Checking and Correcting) protection—for high performance and reliability.
For even higher levels of availability, the x3650M2 also offers online memory mirroring. Up to 4
integrated high-speed Gigabit Ethernet controllers with TOE (TCP Offload Engine) and Jumbo
Frame support are available, as are four high-performance adapter slots (PCIe x8). The
x3650M2 offers an optional embedded hypervisor to manage your virtual workloads.

The System x3650 M2 offers a choice of up to twelve high-performance hot-swap hard disk
drives with an internal storage capacity of 3.6TB (twelve 2.5-inch hot-swap Serial-Attached
SCSI (SAS) or SATA HDDs) Optional solid-state drives are also available to keep power low and
improve resiliency and offer up to 600GB of storage. Alternatively, up to eight HDDs or SSD and
one internal tape drive can be used. The server supports a choice of four IBM ServeRAID
drives with an internal storage capacity of 3.6TB (twelve 2.5-inch hot-swap Serial-Attached
SCSI (SAS) or SATA HDDs) Optional solid-state drives are also available to keep power low and
improve resiliency and offer up to 600GB of storage. Alternatively, up to eight HDDs or SSD and
one internal tape drive can be used. The server supports a choice of four IBM ServeRAID
®
storage controllers which provide broad levels of hardware-based RAID solutions. The ultra-
dense 2U form factor allows businesses to increase their computing power and spread their
workload without outgrowing their current data center. Up to 21 of these 2U servers can be
installed in a single 42U rack, for a total of up to 84 processors, offering tremendous deployment
flexibility. Optional Advanced Connectivity Technology (ACT) interconnect cabling reduces cable
clutter and cost and minimizes installation time when interconnecting many rack-mounted
servers.

Standard in the x3650 M2 is the Integrated Management Module (IMM) that enables the user to
manage and control the server easily—both locally and remotely. In conjunction with the IMM, the
x3650 M2 comes with a Bosch BMP085 altitude sensor (altimeter), which governs fan
rotation based on altitude to help lower your energy consumption. The IMM offers a high level of
manageability that is designed to keep costs down and the system up—even when network
usage increases. IBM’s innovative pop-out/drop-down light path diagnostics panel enables
quick servicing of the system if a problem develops. These advanced features help maximize
network availability by increasing uptime, as do hot-swap solid-state drives; hot-
swap/redundant SAS or SATA HDDs, redundant ultra-efficient power supplies and fans;
