New IBM System x3650 M4 - Innovative Design with New FeaturesBetter Power and Thermal designBetter Power and Thermal design - As data centers grow, power and cooling costs are becoming a larger piece of the IT budget. According to EPA's report to Congress, data centers will account for nearly 3% of total US electricity consumption by 2011. IBM has always been focused on help clients reduce their energy consumption through greater efficiency and innovation. This new generation of servers is no exception to this IBM tradition and provide clients with an even greater power efficiency than pervious generations.

Choice of 3 Redundant Power supplies that are 80PLUS platinum power (94%) efficiency design

Energy Star Compliance: Servers that earn the ENERGY STAR will, on average, be 30 percent more energy efficient than standard servers(1). The IBM System x3650 M4 is slated to be Energy Star Compliant by 2Q12

(1) Source: US Environmental Protection Agency – Energy Star Website – Click here for more details(2) As measured by spec SPECpower_ssj2008 benchmark over pervious generation

Free air cooling support:– 60W to 95W processors models support 5o-40oC– 115W to 135W processors models support 10o-35oC– Allow customers to save on cooling costs

N+N Fan Design: True business critical design these hot-swap, dual-motor cooling fans help maintain a healthy system temperature by keeping internal components cool. These fans are also low wattage keeping energy costs low and have reduced noise levels

Zone Cooling: Four independent FAN modules support 2 Thermal Zones. Each zone will adjust fan speed based on the components and thermal conditions in that zone. This provides optimal temperature within the server without wasting energy

Flexible Networking: With the expansion of 10GbE technology on the rise, the IBM System x3650 M4 gives the client the choice of not only leveraging this new technology but also provides a wide variety of vendors solutions. All of this, while not taking up valuable PCIe slots through our innovative mezzanine design

Ethernet Ports – The x3550 M4 and x3650 M4 come standard with Intel I350AM4 Quad Port GbE LAN Controller (4x 1GbE) ports and 1x 1GbE IMM port

Upgrade to 10GbE technology – The mezzanine design allows the user to easily upgrade to the 10GbE solution that is right for their business.

• Available 10GbE solutions from Emulex & Qlogic(1)

• Does not require the use of a PCIe slot

Internal View

Ultimate in Uptime: Company’s rely on their servers to run business critical applications and with the cost of server downtime as high as $70k / hour(1) it’s more important than ever to choose a server that is built with the maximum uptime in mind. The IBM system x3650 M4 combines a multitude of features to keep a client’s business applications running

Hot Swap and Redundant Fans, PSU & HDD – x3650 M4 has optional HS & Redundant features such as Fans, PSU and HDDs to increase uptime

New IBM System x3650 M4 – Ultimate in Uptime

(1) "Reducing Downtime and Business Loss: Addressing Business Risk with Effective Technology," IDC Whitepaper, August 2009

Hot Swap and Redundant Fans – The x3650 M4 offers true business critical N+N redundancy instead of N+1 like some of the competitionMemory Mirror – Like RAID 1 for

memory, x3650 M4 provides provides full protection against single-bit and multi-bit errors. This is beneficial for any customer that require maximum uptime.

Tool-less Design – IBM continues to offer customers a tool-less design for the M4 generation of servers. This allows for faster repairs and quicker up-time



Predictive Failure Analysis & Light Path Diagnostics: A key component in the IBM System x range of servers is the ability to monitor the health of server components (PFA) and quickly identity & fix any issues before they take down the server (Light Path Diagnostics). These features provides the ability to either hot-swap the component (if applicable) or schedule downtime at low-impact times for the component to be changed or refreshed

Memory Module



IBM System x MemoryDriving performance throughout the System x portfolio

Significant performance increase: Customers continue to look for ways to increase the return on their IT investments while driving increased system performance. The new line up of System x M4 servers and memory provide a full range of offers to drive the right balance of performance and price for any workload

Additional Memory Channels – Increased memory channels from 3 to 4 which increased DIMM Slots from 18 to 24

LRDIMMs – New DIMMs provide the ability to reach the maximum system memory of 768GB which is 4x the memory over pervious generation

Hyper- Cloud DIMMs – New DIMMs provide the highest performance for memory capacities from >256GB to 384GB.

RDIMMs –New increase in performance from 1333MHz to 1600MHz @ 2DPC



IBM System x Memory - Load Reduction DIMM (LRDIMM) Driving performance throughout the System x portfolio

Highest Memory Capacity: Workloads such as virtualization and database require the highest amount of memory possible for optimal performance. IBM introduces the new Load Reduction DIMM (LRDIMM) which unlocks the full memory capabilities of the new M4 server portfolio

LRDIMMs – Buffer reduces the electrical load down to a single load and results in a reduced load on the memory controller Available for high capacity Memory (32GB)

IBM System x Memory – NetList HyperCloud DIMM (HCDIMM) Driving performance throughout the System x portfolio

Highest Memory Performance: Within financial and HPC applications optimal memory performance is key. IBM introduces the new Netlist16GB HyperCloud DIMM (HCDIMM) provides the highest level of performance across the M4 portfolio of servers

HCDIMM – Provides up to 25% performance gains in 3DPC configurations vs. 16GB Dual Rank RDIMMs

• Support for 3 DPC memory performance at 1333MHz (IBM Stretch Goal) vs. 1066MHz (Intel POR) for standard RDIMM

• 384GB RAM running 1333MHz



Guide to higher performance & more efficient memory configurations

Increasing memory in most applications can increase performance Using fewer larger capacity DIMMs is less expensive and can cut power cost Large DIMM capacities leave room to grow – right size now, expand later

DID YOU

KNOW?

RDIMM Sweet Spot

Optimize on 8GB DIMMs, lowest price to customer

Less power & higher reliability then lower capacity DIMMS

1.35V DIMM offer up to 20% reduction in energy consumption at full load with 2DPC at 1.35V

Why more memory?

Applications including virtualization, HPC, database, and collaboration only scale properly with higher core processors when additional memory is added

RDIMMS provide:• Highest DIMM capacities with more

advanced error detection (Chipkill)• balance around capacity, reliability, and

workload performance• Inexpensive means to boost system

PFA & Light Path Diagnostic Module



Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) : Key components in the IBM System x range of servers that provides the ability to monitor the health of server components and generate an alert up to 48 hours before failure actually occurs. This provides the ability to either hot-swap the component (if applicable) or schedule downtime at low-impact times for the component to be changed or refreshed.

Light Path Diagnostics – Ultimate in Uptime

Front of Light Path Diagnostics PanelAmber light indicates there is a problem with the server

!

IBM implements PFA on more server components than any other vendor. The System x components currently protected by PFA are:

• Hard Disk Drives• Fans• Power Supply Units• Memory• CPU’s• Voltage Regulator Modules

Come Home Feature:If a hardware component generates an alert within the warranty period of the component they will exchange the component on the basis of that alert rather than waiting for the failure to actually occur.
