Description

System x3650 M4 server

The System x3650 M4 server features Intel Xeon multicore processors that support internal processing speeds of up to 3.5 GHz1 , and processing operations to memory up to 1866 MHz.

High-performance server subsystems

The System x3650 M4 server expands the new server line by adding a higher level of processor power. This high-throughput, two-way multicore network server offers excellent performance and scalability when you add memory and a second processor. It features up to 30 MB cache, and up to two 8.0 GT/s QuickPath interconnect (QPI) links with new Hyper Threading and Intel™ Turbo Boost Technology 2.0. It incorporates powerful Xeon processors with up to 30 MB L3 cache. The advanced transfer L3 cache is integrated onto the processor and runs at the same clock speed. The advanced transfer cache is a result of a "backside bus" 256 bits wide. It features a quad-wide cache line that can transfer four 64-bit cache line segments at one time to deliver full-speed capability. The cache is eight-way set associative.

Two Intel Xeon processor connectors are standard on the system board to support installation of a second processor. High-speed PC3 DDR3 Advanced Memory Feature DIMMs run at up to 1866 MHz DRAM clock speed and offer maximum 12800 Mbps bandwidth, processor-to-memory subsystem performance. The x3650 M4 server uses the Intel E5-2600 v2 processor with Chipkill technology to maximize throughput from processors, to memory, to the 32-bit and 64-bit PCI buses.

Additional features

• Up to 24-core processing achieved with a second processor of equal speed and processor type.
• System board containing 24 DIMM (UDIMM/RDIMM/LRDIMM/HCDIMM) connectors supporting 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB DDR3 PC3-14900 SDRAM ECC RDIMMs with:
  • DDR3 memory for improved performance
  • Up to 384 GB of system memory using 16 GB optional DIMMs, or up to 768 GB of memory with LRDIMM or HyperCloud DIMMs
  
  Note: 768 GB support will be available when 32 GB LRDIMM/HC DIMM is available.
• Up to six PCIe 3.0 slots.

  With single processor models:

  • Three PCIe 3.0 slots - one x8 full length, full height and two x8 half length, full height (standard models)
  • Two PCIe 3.0 slots - one x16 full length, full height and one x8 half length, full height

  With dual processor models:

  • Three PCIe 3.0 slots - two x8 full length, full height and one x8 half length, full height
  • Two PCIe 3.0 slots - one x16 full length, full height and one x8 half length, full height
  • Two PCI-X plus one PCIe 3.0 slots - two PCI-X full length, full height and one x8 half length, full height PCIe 3.0
  • One double width plus one PCIe 3.0 slots - one x16 double width full length, full height for GPU and one x8 half length, full height

  The PCIe riser card offers adjustable length to meet different PCIe length card requirement.

• On standard models, eight 2.5-inch bays or six 3.5-inch bays to support optional SAS/SATA HDDs, one bay to support an optical drive, and one bay to support an optional tape drive.
• Intel i350-AM4 Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet on board and embedded 10 GbE Dual-port options (on a reserved connector) (10/100/1000) Ethernet ports, which speed network communications to LAN clients. (The embedded card supports Emulex, QLogic, and Mellanox with different protocols like 10 Gb SFP+ or InfiniBand.)
• Compliance with 80 PLUS Platinum and ENERGY STAR (model dependent).

The System x3650 M4 server offers solid system throughput from processor, to memory, to bus, to disk-intensive I/O. These features, combined with multicore capability, make the x3650 M4 server an excellent choice for a stand-alone or clustered general-business application, file, and print server.
