IBM System x3400 M3 provides flexible capabilities and outstanding

performance that drives affordable business growth

Suggested uses: Small/medium businesses, large multilocation enterprises and bank branch offices

seeking scalability, top performance and availability features at an entry-level price.

The dual-socket IBM

System x3400 M3, incorporating IBM X-Architecture

™

features, provides

outstanding value to workgroups by combining scalable performance and availability features at an

outstanding price. The x3400 M3 supports the latest 4-core Intel

Xeon

™

5600 series (Westmere)

and 2- and 4-core Xeon 5500 (Nehalem) processors, designed with up to 1066MHz memory access

and 12MB or 4MB of L3 cache, Turbo Boost, and Hyper-Threading Technology (processor-

specific), to help provide you with the computing power you need to match your business needs and

growth. For maximum performance, x3400 M3 also supports the latest 6-core Xeon 5600 series

processors with up to 1333Mhz memory access and 12MB L3 cache, by CTO only. In addition, the

x3400 M3 supports industry-standard registered DDR-3 memory with Chipkill

™

ECC (Error

Checking and Correcting) protection—for high performance, energy savings, and reliability. For even

higher levels of availability, the x3400 M3 also offers memory mirroring. A dual-port integrated

high-speed Gigabit Ethernet controller is standard, as are high-performance PCIe adapter slots and

a legacy PCI-32 slot to support legacy expansion cards.

All models offer impressive scalability, including dual-processor support and up to 128GB of

memory. Some models supports up to 8 or 2.5-inch hot-swap Serial-Attach SCSI (SAS) or Serial

ATA II (SATA II) HDDs, with up to 4TB

capacity, or up to 16 or 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS or SATA II

HDDs, with up to 8TB capacity. Other models support up to 4 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS HDDs with up

to 2.4TB capacity, or 4 3.5-inch hot-swap or simple-swap SATA HDDs with up to 8TB capacity.

For additional storage requirements, Configure-to-Order (CTO) models are available with support for

up to 8 3.5-inch hot-swap SATA/SAS HDDs, or up to 16 2.5-inch HDDs. For advanced performance

and high availability, the four-drive hot-swap x3400 M3 models include an IBM ServeRAID

BR10il V2 controller, providing RAID-0/1/1E support. The IBM ServeRAID

-M1015 controller,

providing RAID-0/1/10 with an option to upgrade to RAID 5 is standard on 8-drive 2.5-inch models,

while the ServeRAID-5014 controller, which provides RAID-0/1/10/5/50 support (upgradeable to

RAID-6/60) and includes 256GB of cache memory, is standard on 16-drive 2.5-inch models.

Additional RAID support is optionally available via the IBM ServeRAID family of SAS/SATA

controllers. The x3400 M3 ships as a tower unit; a tower-to-rack option is available, or CTO models

can be ordered as a 5U rack-mounted server to help save precious data center floor space.

Standard in the x3400 M3 is an Integrated Management Module (IMM) that enables users to

manage and control the server easily—both locally and, using an optional Virtual Media Key,

remotely. Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is an evolutionary leap over legacy BIOS.

This high level of manageability is designed to keep costs down and the system up—even when

network usage increases. These advanced features help maximize network availability by increasing

uptime, as do hot-swap/redundant HDDs; Active Memory

™

; temperature-controlled fans with

Calibrated Vectored Cooling

™

; industry-standard IPMI 2.0 support, including highly secure

remote power control and Serial over LAN; as well as text-console redirect over LAN.

With the inclusion of unique IBM service and support features such as IBM Systems Director, IBM

Systems Director Active Energy Manager, ServerGuide

™

, and

the IMM, the x3400 M3 is as

equally well designed for a locally managed data center environment as for a remotely managed or

stand-alone environment, while offering maximum availability.

For a balance of high-performance two-, four-, or six-core, dual-socket processing, high availability

and vast internal SAS storage at a budget price, the x3400 M3 is the ideal system.

GB equals 1,000,000,000 bytes and TB equals 1,000,000,000,000 bytes when referring to hard disk drive capacity. Accessible

capacity may be less.
