IBM System x3400 M2 Manual page 20

Bay configuration
The server contains 11 (or seven) drive bays. The four 3.5-inch or eight 2.5-inch
hot-swap bays are located on the lower half of System x 3400 M2 tower models.
These bays are ready for various supported hot-swap or simple-swap drive option
installation. The three bays on the top portion of tower models are designed
primarily for removable media devices. One bay contains the SATA DVD drive,
while the remaining two 5.25-inch half-high bays can support tape backup or other
devices.
ServeRAID-BR10i is a standard offering on hot-swap models.
The SATA DVD is cabled directly to the SATA port.
External SAS attachment
In the configurations where an external SAS device attachment is required, a
support SAS adapter is required.
External serial attachment
To attach an external serial cable RS-232, use the serial connector at the rear of the
system.
Processor upgrades
The following processor upgrades are supported:
• Xeon E5502 1.86 GHz/4.8 GTS-4 MB 2C (80w) (46D1350)
• Xeon E5504 2.0 GHz/4.8 GTS-4 MB 4C (80w) (46D1351)
• Xeon E5520 2.26 GHz/5.86 GTS-8 MB 4C (80w) (46D1352)
• Xeon E5530 2.4 GHz/5.86 GTS-8 MB 4C (80w) (46D1353)
• Xeon E5540 2.53 GHz/5.86 GTS-8 MB 4C (80w) (46D1354)
Supported memory options
The following memory options are supported:
• IBM 1 GB (1Rx8) PC3-10600R-999 DDR3 Chipkill RDIMM 1333 MHz (44T1480)
• IBM 2 GB (2Rx8) PC3-10600R-999 DDR3 Chipkill RDIMM 1333 MHz (44T1481)
• IBM 2 GB (1Rx4) PC3-10600R-999 DDR3 Chipkill RDIMM 1333 MHz (44T1482)
• IBM 4 GB (2Rx4) PC3-10600R-999 DDR3 Chipkill RDIMM 1333 MHz (44T1483)
• IBM 8 GB* (4Rx4) PC3-10600R-999 DDR3 Chipkill RDIMM 1333 MHz (44T1384)
* Twelve DIMM slots that enable you to deploy up to 96 GB of DDR3 SDRAM
Registered DIMM memory, with 2, 4 GB memory standard (model dependent) 8 GB
DIMM optional (post system availability).
Power supply requirements
These models contain one 670-watt fixed power supply. One power supply has
enough power to supply a fully loaded box. If redundancy is required, you should
install additional power supply to ensure sufficient power will be available. A fault
light illuminates when a power supply fails.
Optional rack installations
These models are optionally installable as rack units and are designed so they can
be installed in an industry-standard 19-inch rack cabinet such as the NetBAY42
or NetBAY25. The x3400 M2 server system requires a rack mount kit for rack
installation. In addition, it can also be installed in the deeper NetBAY42 ER.
If you choose not to use an IBM rack, the cabinet must meet EIA-310-D standards
for mounting flanges and hole clearances with front to rear mounting of 70 - 73 cm
