The Bottom Line

The IBM System x3620 M3 is an extremely energy efficient, powerful system, incorporating

significantly redesigned management tools and abundant IBM-unique innovations:

Price/Performance

• High-throughput processors — Up to two 2.66 to 3.06GHz 6-core or 1.6GHz to 3.2GHz 4-core

Xeon 5600 series processors; or two 2.13GHz to 2.26GHz 4-core or 2.0GHz 2-core Xeon 5500

series processors

• Energy-efficient low-voltage processors — 40W 4-core and 60W 6-core Xeon 5600 series

processors (via the CTO process)

• Hyper Threading Technology for up to 12 processor cores and 24 threads total (processor-

specific)

• Turbo Boost Technology for a performance boost when not all cores are in use (processor-

specific)

• Large cache — 12MB or 4MB of L3 processor cache (processor-specific)

• Fast memory — Registered PC3-10600 DDR III ECC DIMMs standard, operating at 1333MHz,

1066MHz or 800Mhz (depending on processor model and memory configuration); supports 2

DIMMs per channel at 1333MHz (5600 series only)

• Fast disk technology — Supports high-performance 6Gbps SAS drives that provide high

density/high reliability and allow you to scale up as your business grows.

• Fast communications — Integrated dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers standard, with failover

support

• Fast I/O — Three PCIe adapter slots (2 x8 and 1 x4)

Flexibility

• Large memory capacity — Up to 192GB of registered DDR3 DIMMs, in 12 DIMM slots

• Up to 8 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA HDDs or 4 simple-swap SATA HDDs

• Choice of disk storage — Up to 16.0TB of internal hot-swap/simple-swap SATA storage, 4.8TB

of internal hot-swap SAS storage

• High-performance external expansion — Five 480Mbps USB 2.0 ports (two front, two rear, one

internal for an optional tape drive, IBM RDX Removable Disk Backup System), plus a flash

memory USB key containing an embedded hypervisor support

• Slotless hardware-based 3Gbps RAID-0/1/1E, or 6Gbps RAID-0/1/10 or RAID-0/1/10/5/50

standard

• Three available adapter slots:

 One x16/x8

PCIe Gen 2 slots (8GBps)

 One x8/x8

PCIe Gen 2 slots (8GBps)

 One x16/x4

PCIe Gen 2 slot (4GBps)—ServeRAID card only

• Choice of optional DVD-RW drive, or tape drive, or RDX Removable Disk Backup System

Manageability, Serviceability and Availability

• IBM Systems Director systems management software, including (among others):

 IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager

 IBM Service and Support Manager

• Integrated Management Module (IMM):

 IPMI 2.0 compliance, including highly secure remote power control

 Text console redirection systems management standard

 Optional Virtual Media Key daughter card (no slot required)

– Supports LDAP and SSL industry standards

• Active Memory protection:

 Advanced Chipkill ECC memory protection support

 Memory mirroring

• Integrated ServeRAID controller — enhances system availability and serviceability

• A choice of hot-swap SAS/SATA HDDs or simple-swap SATA HDDs for quicker servicing than

with fixed drives

• Ultra-efficient cooling

• Optional hot-swap/redundant power supplies

• Front-panel status LEDs

The x16/x8 slot can accept x1, x4, x8, or x16 Gen 1 or Gen 2 adapters running at x1, x4, x8, or x8 throughput, respectively.
