Self-encrypting drives (SEDs) are also an available option as listed in Table 4-19 on
page 147. SEDs provide cost-effective advanced data security with Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES) 128 disk encryption. To make use of the encryption capabilities, you must
also use either a ServeRAID M5014 or M5015 RAID controller, plus either the ServeRAID
M5000 Advance Feature Key or the Performance Accelerator Key. See "Controller options
with 2.5-inch drives" on page 149 for details.
For more information about SEDs, see the IBM Redbooks at-a-glance guide, Self-Encrypting
Drives for IBM System x, TIPS0761, which is available at this website:

Single 500 GB SATA drive
The x3690 X5 optionally supports the IBM x3690 X5 Single SATA HDD Bay, which contains a
single 500 GB SATA drive with mounting hardware. You can use the single SATA drive as a
boot drive when the system is populated with eXFlash SSDs.
The single SATA HDD bay (Table 4-21) is installed in the rightmost HDD bay, closest to the
information panel and encompassing drive bays 12 - 15, as shown in Figure 4-22. Note,
however, that no additional drives can be used in bays 12 - 14, because the bays are covered
by a filler panel.
DVD-ROM drive: Because the single SATA drive uses the same connector on the system
board as the DVD-ROM drive, the DVD-ROM drive cannot be installed when using the
SATA drive.
