Availability and serviceability
The x3650 M5 provides many features to simplify serviceability and increase system uptime:
Tool-less cover removal provides easy access to upgrades and serviceable parts, such as

processors, memory DIMMs, and adapter cards.
The server offers hot-swap drives supporting RAID redundancy for data protection and greater

system uptime.
The server offers redundant hot-swap power supplies and hot-swap redundant fans to provide

availability for business-critical applications.
The new Next Gen light path diagnostics LCD display panel simplifies servicing, speeds up problem

resolution, and helps improve system availability.
Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) detects when system components (processors, VRMs, memory,

disks, fans, and power supplies) operate outside of standard thresholds and generates proactive
alerts in advance of possible failure, therefore increasing uptime.
Solid-state drives (SSDs) offer significantly better reliability than traditional mechanical HDDs for

greater uptime.
Built-in Integrated Management Module II (IMM2.1) continuously monitors system parameters,

triggers alerts, and performs recovery actions in case of failure, to minimize downtime.
Built-in diagnostics using Dynamic Systems Analysis (DSA) Preboot speeds up troubleshooting tasks

to reduce service time.
Three-year customer replaceable unit and onsite limited warranty, next business day 9x5. Optional

service upgrades are available.
Manageability and security
Powerful systems management features simplify local and remote management of the x3650 M5:
The server includes an Integrated Management Module II (IMM2.1) to monitor server availability and

perform remote management.
An integrated industry-standard Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) enables improved

setup, configuration, and updates, and simplifies error handling.
XClarity Administrator offers comprehensive hardware management tools that help to increase

uptime, reduce costs and improve productivity through advanced server management capabilities.
Two integrated Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) enable advanced cryptographic functionality such

as digital signatures and remote attestation.
System x Trusted Platform Assurance, an exclusive set of System x security features and practices,

establishes a foolproof security foundation for workloads by delivering firmware that is securely built,
tested, digitally signed and verified prior to execution.
The server offers enterprise-class data protection with optional self-encrypting drives and simple,

centralized key management through IBM Security Key Lifecycle Management.
Industry-standard AES NI support offers faster, stronger encryption.

Intel Execute Disable Bit functionality can help prevent certain classes of malicious buffer overflow

attacks when combined with a supporting operating system.
Intel Trusted Execution Technology provides enhanced security through hardware-based resistance

to malicious software attacks, allowing an application to run in its own isolated space, protected from
all other software running on a system.
