  System x3650 memory options
The x3650 supports up to 48GB of memory in 12 DIMM sockets (10-Slots open). It uses PC2-5300 fullybuffered double data rate II (DDR II) memory (operating at 667MHz) for faster access, and provides Active Memory features, including advanced Chipkill memory protection, for up to 16X better error correction than standard ECC memory. The fully buffered memory in the x3650 provides up to triple the memory bandwidth (up to 21.3GBps in four channels of PC2-5300 fully-buffered DIMMs vs. a maximum of 6.4GBps in two channels of unbuffered PC2-3200 memory) and up to triple the system memory capacity (12 DIMMs x 4GB) of the predecessor x346 server (8 DIMMs x 2GB). By performing reads and writes simultaneously, it eliminates the previous memory read-to-write blocking latency. In addition, it also offers innovative data reliability and security features to help improve data integrity, including enhanced CRC protection, data retry on error detect and buffer registers for improved fault isolation.

Description 

 System x3650 High-Performance Xeon Processors Options
The x3650 supports up to two high-performance Intel Xeon processors, allowing customers to upgrade to a second processor as business needs require. The x3650 offers a choice of processor clock rates, FSB speeds and power draw:
• 65W dual-core Xeon processor models 5110 or 5120 at 1.6 or 1.86GHz (respectively), with 64-bit extensions, low power draw, a 1066MHz FSB, and 4MB of shared L2 processor cache
• 65W dual-core Xeon processor models 5130, 5140, or 5150 at 2.0, 2.33, or 2.66GHz, with 64-bit extensions, low power draw, a 1333MHz FSB, and 4MB of shared L2 processor cache
• 80W dual-core Xeon processor model 5160 at 3.0GHz, with 64-bit extensions, reduced power draw, a 1333MHz FSB, and 4MB of shared L2 processor cache
 

One additional processor may be installed, providing a maximum of two. All processors must be identical in type, speed and cache size.

 RAID Controllers

All x3650 models include an integrated eight-port Adaptec AIC9580W Serial-Attach SCSI (SAS). This controller supports up to six or eight (depending on the model) internal SAS LVD (low-voltage differential) drives, plus external storage via the SAS port on the rear of the server. The integrated ServeRAID-8k-l controller offers hardware RAID-0/1/10 support and 32MB of fast PC2-4200 DDR2 cache for those SAS drives. The ServeRAID-8k option adds three additional RAID levels, including RAID-1E, 5 and 6, along with 256MB of cache memory for higher performance, and battery backup, without consuming a valuable adapter slot. The SAS controller provides data transfer speeds of up to 300MB per second in each direction (full-duplex) across the SAS bus, for an aggregate speed of 600MBps, nearly double that of Ultra320.

Drive Bays
The x3650 contains either seven or ten drive bays in all, depending on the model. Some models offer six 3.5-inch bays that support hot-swap SAS drives. This enables up to six slimline (1.0") SAS drives totaling up to 1.8TB to be installed. An internal half-high DDS5 or DDS6 tape drive or GoVault drive can be installed in place of two of the HDDs. This offers the confidence of internal tape backup, while still leaving four available drive bays (for a total disk capacity of up to 1.2TB). The tape drive must have a USB 2.0 or SATA interface. Other models feature eight 2.5-inch bays that support hot-swap SAS drives totaling up to 587.2GB. In addition to the eight 2.5" HDD bays, there is a dedicated bay for a half-high tape drive or GoVault EZ Drive. Hot-swap drives may be inserted or removed through the front of the server without powering off the system.  No diskette drive is supplied with any model; an external USB floppy drive may be used, if needed (40K1692).

Express drives cannot be used on special bids

 64-bit Adapter Slots
The x3650 provides four x8 ("by 8") 4GBps 64-bit PCI-E (PCI Express) adapters standard. Each is capable of supporting x1/x4/x8 adapters at full speed. Slot 1 is full-length/full-height; slot 2 is half-length/full-height, and slots 3 and 4 are low-profile/full-length slots. If desired, the riser card containing slots 1 and 2 may optionally 30950F laced30950F 30950F rovides two 64- bit (1Gbps) 133MHz PCI-X slots instead, one full-length/full-height and one half-length/fullheight. PCI-Express is a high-performance, low-latency, next-generation serial I/O bus that is rapidly replacing the older parallel PCI and PCI-X buses. A x8 PCI-E adapter offers approximately four times the maximum throughput of a 133MHz PCI-X adapter. (A x1 adapter offers throughput similar to a 64-bit 66MHz PCI-X slot.) Because the SAS, ServeRAID-8k and 8k-l, dual Gigabit Ethernet, systems management and video controllers are integrated onto the system board, the four adapter slots are all available, which offers customers a wide degree of latitude in expansion options.

Other New Features
High-resolution video — Up to 1600x1200 resolution, with a color depth of 32 bits at 100Hz refresh rate, using the ATI Radeon 7000M video controller.
Remote Supervisor Adapter II support — This optional full-function systems management adapter adds local and remote management functions.

An internal half-high tape drive can be installed in place of two of the HDDs. This offers the confidence of internal tape backup, while still leaving four available drive bays (for a total disk capacity of 587.2GB). The tape drive requires the optional Tape Enablement Kit and a SCSI card. IBM Tape Compatibility Matrix
