Feature Benefits
Up to two Dual-Core Intel® Xeon Processors (2x6 MB L2 cache)
  • Improves productivity through higher processing performance


  • 1066 MHz front-side bus speeds information access within the system


  • Large cache size yields more transaction processing


  • Dual-core processing provides significant performance gains over single core

Up to two Quad-Core Intel® Xeon Processors (2x12 MB L2 cache)
  • Delivers ultimate processor performance with eight cores using optimized L2 cache


  • 1333 MHz front-side bus further accelerates application performance


  • Maximize multi-threaded applications for faster and concurrent execution

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 6.0 TB 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 3.0 TB 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, -6 or -1E 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

Optional zero channel SAS RAID-5 via ServeRAID™-8k adapter
  • Optional upgrade to RAID-5, -6 or -1E 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 Systems 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

IBM 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 customer replaceable unit and onsite limited warranty1
  • Provides peace of mind for an extended period of time


  • Flexible offerings to fit your budget and needs
