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.

40K7305 40K7428 2083 PCI-E x16 (FH/FL) Riser for IBM x System 3655 - - - - -
Notes:
* IBM has withdrawn this product from marketing.
  1. All x3650 models ship standard with ServeRAID-8k-l which offers
    RAID 0, 1, 10. To upgrade replace ServeRAID-8k-l with the
    following options: ServeRAID-8k, option 25R8064, for RAID 1E, 5
    or 6; ServeRAID-MR10i, option 43W4296, for RAID 0 to RAID 6
    (excluding 1E); or ServeRAID-MR10is, option 44E8695, for
    encryption and RAID 0 to RAID 6 (excluding 1E).
  2. x3655 support for ServeRAID-8s is for full function RAID
    attachment to a single EXP3000 storage expansion unit. EXP3000
    support by ServeRAID-8s is currently limited to SAS HDDs only.
  3. Before you install or ship this option in your server, first
    read the installation instructions provided in the option package.
  4. ServeRAID-8s Battery enables Battery Backed Cache
    on ServeRAID-8s.
  5. Requires optional PCI-E x16 (FH/FL) Riser for IBM System x3655,
    40K7428.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. ServeRAID-MR10i Li-Ion Battery 44E8826 enables Battery Backed
    Cache on ServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA Controller.
  9. 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.
  10. In slots 2 and 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).

Notes:
  1. x3655 offers 4 PCI express slots, two x8 lanes low profile,
    one x4 low profile, and one full length/full height option card slot.
  2. One full length/full height riser option is supported at a time.
    The standard HTX slot on riser may be replaced with PCI-E x16 or
    PCI-X risers.
  3. Supports PCI-E low profile adapters.
