IBM Redbooks Product Guide
The System x3400 M3 servers are self-contained, high-performance, 5U tower systems designed for web
and business server applications in remote or distributed environments. These servers are highly scalable
in configuration, performance, and availability. They offer two-way SMP power with the latest Intel Xeon
5600 series processors, a dual connector 8-port SAS/SATA RAID controller on hot-swap models, an
embedded Gigabit Ethernet controller, and six PCI Express 2.0 slots. These servers support SATA or
SAS HDDs.
These servers are flexible tower models that deliver the best blend of power, manageability,
expandability, and serviceability. They meet the requirements of server applications in the
small-to-medium businesses that need an affordable general-purpose network server. These servers fit
into business environments where tower configurations are required. Figure 1 shows the IBM® System
x3400 M3.

Did you know
The System x3400 M3 server supports optional spare DIMMs, memory mirroring, and RAID-0, RAID-1,
and RAID-1E support standard with optional RAID-5, RAID-6, RAID-10, and RAID-50 available. It
features large amounts of internal expansion and I/O support. Comprehensive systems management
tools such as advanced diagnostics, Predictive Failure Analysis, and the ability to control resources from
a single point make it easy to deploy, integrate, service, and manage from any location.
