Benefits |
|
Up to two Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processors (2x2MB L2 cache) |
|
- Improves productivity through higher processing performance
- 1333 MHz front-side bus speeds information access within the system
- New dual-core provides substantial performance growth as application requirements increase, or to support peaks in performance requirements
|
|
Fast Fully Buffered DIMM 667 MHz memory |
|
- Match the high performance speed of the Intel Xeon processors with new-generation, high-performance memory
- Online spare and memory mirroring provide customers with two ways to increase systems and application reliability by allowing the system to continue
- Interleaved memory to improve application performance
|
|
Support for up to 8 hot-swap Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drives (HDDs) (with optional 4-pack upgrade) |
|
- SAS provides increased performance, simplified cabling, and better fault isolation than parallel SCSI without cost premium
- Up to 2.4TB of data storage capacity with optional 4-pack upgrade kit
|
|
Supports simple-swap SATA HDDs (model dependent) |
|
- SATA HDDs provide high capacity at a lower cost
- Provides up to 2.0TB data storage capacity
|
|
Six available PCI I/O slots for system expansion, scalability |
|
- Gives you expandability choices and the capability to increase I/O bandwidth for performance and productivity
|
|
Three PCI-Express slots |
|
- PCI-Express allows customers to achieve faster interconnect speeds than PCI-X 133 MHz
|
|
Two PCI-X slots |
|
- Enables customers to continue to utilize their PCI-X adapters while they plan their transition to the PCI-Express standard
|
|
Integrated RAID-0, -1 and -10 |
|
- Increased system availability and data protection by supporting RAID-0 or -1, included with the server, without using a PCI slot
- Optional upgrade to RAID-5 protection takes high availability to your HDDs efficiently without sacrificing performance and does not require an I/O slot—leaving more room for system availability
|
|
Hot-swap cooling fans standard |
|
- Easily replace cooling fans without taking the server offline
|
|
Models with hot-swap/redundant power and cooling |
|
- Reduces downtime by maintaining system performance if a fan/power supply needs to be replaced
|
|
Externally visible LED |
|
- Gives information about a failing component without interrupting system operation—visible without removal of system covers
- Expedites hardware repairs to dramatically reduce service time
- Provides a lighted path to failing component inside the system
|
|
Calibrated Vectored Cooling |
|
- Helps prolong system life by keeping your system components cool
|
|
Integrated System Management Processor |
|
- Provides around-the-clock remote management capabilities
- Increases server availability by continuously monitoring your system and notifying you of potential system failures or changes
|
|
Integrated Gigabit Ethernet |
|
- Provides increased network throughput and redundancy with efficient slot-saving integration
|
|
IBM Director |
|
- Provides comprehensive systems management tools
- Help increase uptime, reduce costs and improve productivity via advanced server management capabilities
|
|
Supports optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine |
|
- Works in concert with Integrated System Management Processor to provide even greater systems control
- Decreases downtime by allowing you to remotely perform systems management functions even if the system is powered off
- Activates dedicated system management Ethernet port
|
|
ServerGuide™ software |
|
- Assists with the installation of operating systems and drivers
- Gets your server up and running faster
- Simplifies installation and configuration of your IBM System x™ servers
|
|
Models available with one- or three-year onsite limited warranty |
|
- Provides peace of mind for an extended period of time
- Flexible offerings to fit your budget and needs
