Key features

System x advancements in scalability, reliability, and performance can help your business innovate and

thrive. With more flexible configuration options, energy-efficient components, and robust systems

management tools, the x3630 M4 can deliver business value over the long term.

Scalability and performance

The x3630 M4 offers numerous features to boost performance, improve scalability, and reduce costs:

The Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 product family improves productivity by offering affordable dual-

socket system performance with eight-core processors with up to 2.3 GHz core speeds, up to 20

MB of L3 cache, and one QPI interconnect link of up to 8 GTps.

Up to two processors, 16 cores, and 32 threads maximize the concurrent execution of

multithreaded applications.

Intelligent and adaptive system performance with Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows

processor cores to run at maximum speeds during peak workloads by temporarily going beyond

processor thermal design power (TDP).

Intel Hyper-Threading Technology boosts performance for multithreaded applications by enabling

simultaneous multithreading within each processor core, up to two threads per core.

Intel Virtualization Technology integrates hardware-level virtualization hooks that allow operating

system vendors to better use the hardware for virtualization workloads.

Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) improve floating point performance for compute-intensive

technical and scientific applications.

Up to 384 GB of memory capacity via 12 DIMM slots with 32 GB LRDIMMs.

Up to 1600 MHz memory speeds with two DIMMs per channel running at 1600 MHz to help

maximize system performance.

The server offers up to four integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports with convenient Feature on Demand

upgrade process that does not require the purchasing of an additional hardware.

The server offers PCI Express 3.0 I/O expansion capabilities that improve the theoretical maximum

bandwidth by almost 100% (8 GTps per link using 128b/130b encoding) compared to the previous

generation of PCI Express 2.0 (5 GTps per link using 8b/10b encoding).

With Intel Integrated I/O Technology, the PCI Express 3.0 controller is integrated into the Intel Xeon

processor E5 family. This controller helps to reduce I/O latency and increase overall system

performance.

Up to fourteen 3.5-inch hot-swap drive bays provide maximum internal storage density of up to 56

TB in a 2U form factor.

Availability and serviceability

The x3630 M4 provides many features to simplify serviceability and increase system uptime:

The server offers Chipkill, memory mirroring, and memory rank sparing for redundancy in the event

of a non-correctable memory failure to prevent an unplanned outage.

Tool-less cover removal provides easy access to upgrades and serviceable parts, such as

processor, memory, and adapter cards.

The server offers simple-swap or hot-swap drives supporting affordable software RAID and

advanced hardware RAID redundancy for data protection and greater system uptime.

The server offers up to two redundant hot-swap power supplies and three dual-motor non-hot-

swap redundant fans to provide cost-efficient availability for applications.

The light path diagnostics panel and optional individual light path LEDs quickly lead the technician

to failed (or failing) components. This panel simplifies servicing, speeds up problem resolution, and

helps improve system availability.
