Features & benefits

Feature	Benefits
1U rack	Helps provide expandability and performance in a dense form factor
High-performance, energy-smart Intel Xeon E5-2400 v2 series processor with up to 10-core 20 MB L3 cache per processor socket	Helps boost performance with the latest Intel Xeon E5-2400 v2 series processors Helps provide enhanced technology with improved power and thermal management
Ultra-fast two DIMMs per channel at 1333/1600 MHz, with up to12 DIMM sockets of DDR-3 RDIMM/UDIMM/LRDIMM memory	Memory scalability ideal for compute-intensive, general-business applications and virtualized environments A new generation of high-performance memory can match the speed of the latest Intel Xeon E5-2400 v2 series processors to optimize throughput Improved application performance with interleaved memory Faster memory bandwidth with the ability to run two DIMMs per channel at 1333/1600 MHz with supported 1600 MHz RDIMMs Save up to an additional 10 percent on your memory power budget with 1.35 V memory Up to 384 GB of memory capacity
Support for up to eight small form factor (SFF) 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA or four large form factor (LFF) 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA or simple-swap Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drives (model dependent)	Helps reduce costs with large-capacity 3.5-inch SATA drive and increase performance with 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drives Up to 16 TB of data storage capacity on 3.5-inch models or 8.0 TB of data-storage capacity on 2.5-inch models Easier field upgrade flexibility to increase the number of drives from four to eight with easier-to-install optional HDDs Consolidated server design optimized for storage intensive workloads Supports optional ODD for 2.5-inch models (not available for 3.5-inch models)
Slotless hardware RAID	Optional advanced RAID protection can deliver advanced high availability to your HDDs more efficiently without sacrificing performance Flash technology extends the usable life to nearly seven years versus a typical one-year replacement for batteries Support up to 1.0 GB flashback or 512 MB cache (model dependant) Innovative Features on Demand (FoD) design helps you upgrade RAID-5, -50 or RAID-6, -60 without open chassis
Up to two next-generation PCIe 3.0 I/O slots for system expansion	Extensive I/O bandwidth for greater performance and productivity Deliver double the bandwidth with lower latency Support up to two x8 or one x16 at slot 1, one x4 for slotless RAID at slot 2
Intel Ethernet Controller I350 Dual 1 Gb on board + Intel I-350 Embedded Dual-Port GbE Activation for IBM System x (FoD)	Helps provide double the network throughput with features that reduce processor workload Embedded NIC, standard 2 ports with upgrade scalability to four ports by FoD
Optional redundant cooling and hot-swap, redundant power	Helps maintain a healthy system by keeping internal components cool with redundant, dual-motor cooling fans Helps increase system and application uptime by reducing another potential point of failure with a second hot-swap power supply, allowing the server to continue operating even with a fan failure Provides choice of one fixed 460 W power supply or two 460 W/675 W redundant power supplies
Light path diagnostics front panel	Gives information about a failing component without open chassis or interrupting system operation Helps expedite hardware repairs to dramatically reduce service time Helps provide a lighted path to the failing component inside the system Offers optional advanced light path kit
Energy-efficiency compliance	Helps meet requirements of 80 PLUS® for ac power supplies
IBM Integrated Management Module II (IMM2)	Helps increase server availability by virtually continuously monitoring your system and notifying you of potential system failures or changes Helps provide for around-the-clock remote management capabilities (FoD optional); gives information about a failing component without interrupting system operation
IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager™	Helps provide robust systems management tools Helps increase uptime, reduce costs and improve productivity with advanced server management capabilities Allows near-continuous real-time monitoring, measuring and management of power consumption
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)	Helps provide easier to configure and deploy new BIOS, which is common across all IBM x86 servers Helps provide more functionality than legacy BIOS and facilitates greater manageability through a common infrastructure for managing all machines Helps improve server efficiency by a faster boot and restart of OS Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Helps enable advanced cryptographic functionality such as digital signatures and remote attestation Uses CRTM for secure boot
Support for the VMware vSphere and USB keys (optional)	Designed to optimize virtualization performance through innovative, thin hypervisor architecture that is operating system-independent Integrated into the server hardware to help provide compatible, pre-tested and optimized hardware configurations Optimized for remote management tools and industry-standard protocols, such as CIM
Security capabilities	Helps protect your data through ServeRAID with leadership disk encryption Trusted platform module (TPM) technology delivers system level security.
IBM ServerGuide software	Assists with the installation of operating systems and drivers Gets your server up and running faster Simplifies installation and configuration of your System x servers
3-year customer replaceable unit and onsite limited warranty, next business day 9×5, service upgrades available	Helps provide peace of mind for an extended period of time
