Energy efficiency
The x3650 M5 offers the following energy-efficiency features to save energy, reduce operational costs,
increase energy availability, and contribute to the green environment:
Energy-efficient planar components help lower operational costs.

High-efficiency power supplies with 80 PLUS Platinum and Titanium certifications.

Intel Intelligent Power Capability powers individual processor elements on and off as needed, to

reduce power draw.
Low-voltage Intel Xeon processors draw less energy to satisfy the demands of power and thermally

constrained data centers and telecommunication environments.
Low-voltage 1.2 V DDR4 memory DIMMs consume up to 20% less energy compared to 1.35 V DDR3

DIMMs.
Solid-state drives (SSDs) consume less power than traditional spinning HDDs.

The server uses hexagonal ventilation holes, a part of Calibrated Vectored Cooling™ technology.

Hexagonal holes can be grouped more densely than round holes, providing more efficient airflow
through the system.
IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager™ provides advanced data center power notification and

management to help achieve lower heat output and reduced cooling needs.
