memory is up to 16X better than standard ECC memory at correcting memory errors. This can
help reduce downtime caused by memory errors.
• The x3650 M3 offers memory mirroring for redundancy in the event of a non-correctable
memory failure
• Toolless cover removal provides easy access to upgrades and serviceable parts. Similarly,
the Virtual Media Key and the ServeRAID controller can be installed and replaced without
tools. This means less time (and therefore less money) spent servicing the x3650 M3.
Additionally, hot-swap/redundant HDDs, fan modules and power supplies, as well as
online mirrored memory, mean greater system uptime while these components are being
serviced.
• New toolless slides ship with the server, together with a Cable Management Arm (CMA),
that allow the rack server to easily slide into place
• IBM Thermal Diagnostics allows the administrator to evaluate thermal data on the server
without taking the hardware offline. This can provide greater server uptime.
• The drop-down light path diagnostics panel and individual light path LEDs quickly lead the
technician to failed (or failing) components. This simplifies servicing, speeds up problem
resolution and helps improve network availability.
• Integrated 3Gbps or 6Gbps RAID controller to enhance system availability and data
protection without using a PCIe slot.
• IPMI 2.0 supports highly secure remote system power control using data encryption. This
allows an administrator to restart a server without having to visit it in person, saving travel time
and getting the server back up and running quickly and securely. It also adds new features to
those provided by IPMI 1.5, including VLAN support, Serial over LAN, enhanced
authentication and encryption algorithms (RMCP+ and AES) and a firmware firewall.
• Altitude- and temperature-controlled fans adjust to compensate for changing thermal
characteristics. At the lower speeds they draw less power and suffer less wear. Equally
important in a crowded data center, temperature-controlled fans produce less ambient noise in
the data center than if they were constantly running at full speed.
• The three-year (parts and labor) limited onsite warranty

helps afford you peace of mind
and greater investment protection than a one-year warranty does.
Key Features
High-Performance / High-Efficiency Xeon 5600 / 5500 Processors
The x3650 M3 supports up to two high-performance Intel Xeon 5600 Series or 5500 Series

access, 2 threads per core, and Intel Turbo Boost technology
• 95W 6-core Xeon 5600 models X5650, X5660 or X5670 running at 2.66, 2.8 or 2.93GHz,
respectively, with reduced power draw and impressive performance/watt (only 15.83W per
core; 6.4GTps QPI speed), 12MB of L3 processor cache, 1333MHz memory access, 2
threads per core, and Intel Turbo Boost technology
• 60W 4-core Xeon 5600 low-voltage model L5640 running at 2.26GHz, respectively, with low
power draw and impressive performance/watt (only 15W per core; 5.86GTps QPI speed), and
12MB of shared L3 cache, 1333MHz memory access, 2 threads per core, and Intel Turbo
Boost technology
• 80W 4-core Xeon 5600 models E5620, E5630, or E5640 running at 2.26, 2.53, or 2.66GHz,
respectively, with reduced power draw and impressive performance/watt (20W per core;
5.86GTps QPI speed), 12MB of L3 processor cache, 1066MHz memory access, 2 threads per
core, and Intel Turbo Boost technology
• 40W 4-core Xeon 5600 low-voltage model L5630 running at 2.13GHz, with extremely low
power draw and amazing performance/watt (only 10W per core; 5.86GTps QPI speed), 12MB
of L3 processor cache, 1066MHz memory access, 2 threads per core, and Intel Turbo Boost
technology
• 80W 4-core Xeon 5500 models E5506 or E5507 running at 2.13 or 2.26GHz, respectively, with
reduced power draw and impressive performance/watt (20W per core; 4.8GTps QPI speed),
4MB of L3 processor cache, and 800MHz memory access
