 IBM System x3500
Stable-life, mission-critical two-socket tower server for distributed environments
| | |
 |
|
|
Feature |
|
Benefits |
|
|
|
|
| Quad-Core Intel® Xeon Processors (2x12 MB L2 cache) |
|
- Delivers ultimate processor performance with eight cores using optimized L2 cache
- Maximize multi-threaded applications for faster and concurrent execution
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Fast 667 MHz, Fully Buffered DIMM memory |
|
- Match the high-performance speed of the Intel® Xeon processors with new-generation, high-performance memory supporting optimized throughput
- 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) or 12 hot-swap Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) small form factor (SFF) hard disk drives (HDDs) |
|
- SAS provides increased performance, simplified cabling, and better fault isolation than parallel SCSI without cost premium
- SATA provides high capacity at lower cost
- Up to 6.0 TB of data storage capacity, 1.76 TB with SFF drives
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 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 |
|
- 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, -1E, -5, -6 and -10 |
|
- Advanced RAID 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/redundant power and cooling |
|
- Reduces downtime by maintaining system performance if a fan/power supply needs to be replaced
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Externally visible light path diagnostic panel |
|
- 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
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Integrated Systems 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 dual Gigabit Ethernet |
|
- Provides increased network throughput and redundancy with efficient slot-saving integration
|
|
|
|
|
|
| IBM Director |
|
- Provides comprehensive systems management tools
- Helps increase uptime, reduce costs and improve productivity via advanced server management capabilities
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Support for 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
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Three-year customer replaceable unit and onsite limited warranty1 |
|
- Provides peace of mind for an extended period of time
