Technical Specifications
The IBM x3650 Server supports dual Intel Xeon processors, providing ample processing power for demanding applications. Memory capacity can be scaled up to 768GB of DDR4 ECC Registered DIMM memory. The server offers a range of storage options, including hot-swap SAS and SATA hard drives. The integrated RAID controller provides data protection and improves storage performance.
Multiple PCI-e expansion slots allow for adding various adapters, such as network interface cards (NICs), Fibre Channel HBAs, and graphics cards. Redundant power supplies and fans ensure continuous operation in case of a component failure.
The Integrated Management Module (IMM) provides remote management capabilities, allowing administrators to monitor and control the server from anywhere. The x3650 is designed for energy efficiency, reducing power consumption and cooling costs. The dimensions for the 2U rack server are standard, making it compatible with most server racks.
