IBM System x3750 M4
IBM Redbooks Product Guide
The IBM® System x3750 M4 is a 4-socket server featuring a streamlined design, optimized for price and
performance, with best-in-class flexibility and expandability. Models of the x3750 M4 are powered with
Intel Xeon E5-4600 processors, up to 8 cores each, for an entry-level 4-socket solution. The x3750 M4
provides maximum storage density, with flexible PCI and 10 Gb Ethernet networking options in a 2U form
factor.
Suggested uses : High performance computing (HPC), workloads with floating-point computations, and
small to medium databases requiring fast I/O; applications that require 4-socket performance without
needing the scalability that the IBM eX5 systems provide.

Did you know
The x3750 M4 has outstanding memory performance that is achieved by supporting
three-RDIMM-per-channel configurations at speeds up to 25% faster than the Intel specification, while still
maintaining world-class IBM reliability. LR-DIMM speeds are also 25% beyond the Intel specification for
1.35 V DIMMs, and this speed improve not only performance, but reduces overall system power at the
same time.
The x3750 M4 offers a flexible, scalable design and simple upgrade path to 16 hard-disk drives (HDDs) or
32 IBM eXFlash solid-state drives (SSDs), with up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots and up to 1.5 TB of memory.
The flexible embedded Ethernet solution provides two standard Gigabit Ethernet ports onboard, along
with a dedicated 10 GbE slot that allows for a choice of either two copper or two fiber optic connections.
Comprehensive systems management tools with the next-generation Integrated Management Module II
(IMM2) make it easy to deploy, integrate, service, and manage.
