Intel Xeon processor options
• Intel Xeon Processor E5502 2C 1.86 GHz 4 MB Cache 800 MHz 80w (46D1350)
• Intel Xeon Processor E5504 4C 2.00 GHz 4 MB Cache 800 MHz 80w (46D1351)
• Intel Xeon Processor E5520 4C 2.26 GHz 8 MB Cache 1066 MHz 80w (46D1352)
• Intel Xeon Processor E5530 4C 2.4 GHz 8 MB Cache 1066 MHz 80w (46D1353)
• Intel Xeon Processor E5540 4C 2.53GHz 8 MB Cache 1066 MHz 80w (46D1354)
These processors are ideal for data-intensive applications that range from data
mining to evolving Web services. Innovative technologies deliver processing speeds
of 2.53 GHz, with performance headroom for unpredictable server workloads and
escalating computing needs.
Intel Xeon processors with 8 MB cache feature Intel NetBurst microarchitecture with
Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T), which increases overall throughput via a
faster 1333 MHz system bus and enhanced level 2 cache. These enhancements add
up to a faster response time.
These processor options support SMP applications when installed in the second
processor slot on all System x3400 M2 models with similar processors.
IBM PC3-10600R DDR3 Chipkill Memory Option Kit
• 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)
Note: DDR3 ECC RDIMMs, combined with an integrated ECC memory controller,
correct many soft and hard single-bit memory errors and minimize disruption of
service to LAN clients. Chipkill distributes information covered by error correction
coding across separate memory chips; so if any of the chips fail, the data can still be
reconstructed from the remaining chips and the system can continue running.
Increased processor performance coupled with DDR3 memory enables you to
retrieve and process information faster and more efficiently. DDR memory executes
twice the number of operations per cycle than traditional SDRAM memory, effectively
doubling the data exchange rate between memory and processors. For additional
information on CPUs and memory, refer to ZG09-0169, dated March 30, 2009.
