System x3550 (7978)


Attention
Attention:
A four-digit feature code is used to specify a component that is configurable in the IBM configurators, the eBusiness Configurator (eConfig) and the IBM Web-based Hardware Configurator, used in US and Canada. Options that do not have feature codes cannot be integrated by IBM into a system using these IBM configurators. To purchase options separately, refer to the option part number provided in this document.

Notes:
* IBM has withdrawn this product from marketing.
  1. All x3550 models ship standard with ServeRAID-8k-l
    which offers RAID 0, 1, 10. To upgrade to RAID 1E, 5
    or 6, replace ServeRAID-8k-l with optional ServeRAID-8k,
    pn 25R8064.
  2. To avoid damage to the server, always remove the
    MegaRAID 8480 adapter before relocating or shipping
    the server. MegaRAID 8480 must be shipped separately as
    originally packaged from IBM.
  3. Requires PCI-X Riser Card (Option 32R2816).
  4. Requires PCI-E Riser Card (SBB 39Y6744). This riser
    card ships on all standard x3550 models.
  5. A PCI-X Riser Card must be selected when a PCI-X adapter
    is selected
  6. Supports Intel I/O Acceleration Technology for System x
    IOAT capable servers.
  7. Supports TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE). Not supported on
    systems with greater than 32GB installed memory.
  8. ServeRAID-MR10i includes 256MB of cache. To protect cached
    data against an unexpected power outage, optional
    ServeRAID-MR10i Li-Ion Battery, 44E8826 should be utilized.
  9. In 2.5 in drive bay configurations, this adapter will require
    a SAS signal cable, p/n 41Y3883, which comes as
    part of option p/n 44E8822.
  10. In slots 2...4, the MR10M will require remote mounting of the
    adapter batteries, which will require 1 battery shelf (p/n 46C4182)
    per system and 1 remote battery cable kit (p/n 44E8823) per
    battery. The remote battery cable kit comes with the adapter option,
    while the shelf comes as a part of the Remote Battery Mount and
    Cable Kit option (p/n 44E8822).
