Memory options IBM System x3500 M4 - 7383B5A

IBM DDR3 memory is compatibility tested and tuned for optimal System x performance and throughput. IBM memory specifications are integrated into the light path diagnostics for immediate system performance feedback and optimum system uptime. From a service and support standpoint, IBM memory automatically assumes the IBM system warranty, and IBM provides service and support worldwide.

The IBM System x3500 M4 supports DDR3 memory. The server supports up to 12 DIMMs when one processor is installed and up to 24 DIMMs when two processors are installed. Each processor has four memory channels, and there are three DIMMs per channel.

The following rules apply when selecting the memory configuration:

  • The server supports UDIMMs, RDIMMs, and LRDIMMs.
  • Mixing different types of memory (UDIMMs, RDIMMs, and LRDIMMs) is not supported.
  • Mixing 1.5 V and 1.35 V DIMMs in the same server is supported. In such a case all DIMMs operate at 1.5 V.
  • The maximum number of ranks per channel is eight (with the exception of Load Reduced DIMMs, where more than eight ranks are supported because one quad-rank LRDIMM provides the same electrical load on a memory bus as a single-rank RDIMM).
  • The maximum quantity of DIMMs that can be installed in a server depends on the number of CPUs, DIMM type, rank, and operating voltage, as shown in the "Max. qty supported" row in Table 5.
  • All DIMMs in the server operate at the same speed, which is determined as the lowest value of:
    • Memory speed supported by specific CPU
    • Lowest maximum operating speed for the selected memory configuration that depends on rated speed, operating voltage, and quantity of DIMMs per channel, as shown in the "Max. operating speed" section in Table 5

* The maximum quantity supported is shown for two processors installed. When one processor installed the maximum quantity supported is a half of that shown.

The following memory protection technologies are supported:


  • ECC
  • Chipkill (for x4-based memory DIMMs)
  • Memory mirroring
  • Memory sparing

Chipkill works only in independent channel mode (default operational mode) and supports only x4-based memory DIMMs.

If memory mirroring is used, then DIMMs must be installed in pairs (minimum of one pair per CPU), and both DIMMs in a pair must be identical in type and size.

If memory rank sparing is used, then a minimum of one quad-rank DIMM or two single-rank or dual-rank DIMMs must be installed per populated channel (the DIMMs do not need being identical). In rank sparing mode, one rank of a DIMM in each populated channel is reserved as spare memory. The size of a rank varies depending on the DIMMs installed.

Note: Chipkill, memory mirroring, and memory rank sparing modes are mutually exclusive. Only one operational memory mode can be enabled on a server, and it is a system-wide setting.

I/O expansion options IBM System x3500 M4 - 7383B5A

The server supports up to eight PCIe slots: six slots (1 to 6) when one CPU is installed or eight slots when two CPUs are installed. These are the slot form factors:

  • Slot 1: PCIe x8 (x4 wired); full-height, half-length (supports optional PCI-X interposer card)
  • Slot 2: PCIe x8; full-height, half-length
  • Slot 3: PCIe x8; full-height, full-length
  • Slot 4: PCIe x8 (x4 wired); full-height, full-length
  • Slot 5: PCIe x16; full-height, full-length
  • Slot 6: PCIe x8 (x4 wired); full-height, full-length
  • Slot 7: PCIe x16; full-height, full-length (requires second processor)
  • Slot 8: PCIe x16; full-height, full-length (requires second processor)

All PCIe slots are PCI Express 3.0 slots except Slot 1, which is a PCI Express 2.0 slot. Slot 1 can be converted to a PCI-X slot with the PCI-X Conversion Kit, which is described in the following table.
