Feature Benefits
Up to two Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processors (2x2 MB L2 cache)
  • Improves productivity through higher processing performance

  • 1333 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 (2x4 MB L2 cache)
  • Delivers ultimate processor performance with eight cores using optimized L2 cache

  • 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 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
