The x3650 M2 is not simply an upgrade to a previous server. It is one of our new generation of X-
Architecture servers. It is a game-changing, completely redesigned rack server using significantly
less power with unified systems management tools, leadership reliability, availability,
serviceability features and broad system flexibility, housed in a compact 2U mechanical package.

5500 Series 4-core and 2-core processors, and either 8MB
or 4MB of shared cache, to help provide you with the computing power you need to match your
business needs and growth. This new line of Intel processors delivers unprecedented intelligent
performance with features like adaptive performance for applications and environments, turbo
boost and hyper-threading technology, and integrated power gates and automated power
management.

management.
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 6.0TB (twelve 2.5-inch hot-swap Serial-Attached
SCSI (SAS) or Serial-Attached ATA (SATA) HDDs). Twelve optional solid-state drives (SSDs)
are also available to keep power low, improve resiliency, and offer up to 600GB of storage.
Alternatively, up to eight HDDs or SSDs and one internal tape drive can be used. The server
supports a choice of four IBM ServeRAID
drives with an internal storage capacity of 6.0TB (twelve 2.5-inch hot-swap Serial-Attached
SCSI (SAS) or Serial-Attached ATA (SATA) HDDs). Twelve optional solid-state drives (SSDs)
are also available to keep power low, improve resiliency, and offer up to 600GB of storage.
Alternatively, up to eight HDDs or SSDs 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 42 processors
and 168 processor cores, 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) that 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 fan
modules; Active Memory
