System x3550 M3 (7944)
| 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:
- The PCI card type will dependent on the kind of PCI riser card installed in the system. Slot 1 Support low profile card (either PCIe Gen 1 or Gen2 x16 lanes slot with PCIe riser LP or PCI-X 1/0a 64-bit 133 MHz slot with PCI-X riser LP). Slot 2 Support full height half length card (either PCIe Gen 1 or Gen 2 x16 lanes slot with PCIe riser or PCI-X 1.0a 64-bit 133MHz slot with PCI-X riser.
- There is no full length, full height PCI-X card support on 7944
- FC 3585 does not occupy the same slot as the SAS/SATA Raid card slot.
- Battery NOT included
