a. Dunnington quad-core and six-core processors include L2 and L3 shared cache
unlike Tigerton processors with only L2 shared cache. See 1.7, "Processors" on
page 33 for more details.
1.2.4 Scalable upgrade option for x3850 M2
Unlike the x3850 server (based on X3 technology), the x3850 M2 can be
converted to an x3950 M2 through the use of the IBM ScaleXpander Option Kit,
part number 44E4249. After this kit is installed, the x3850 M2 functionally
becomes an x3950 M2, and is therefore able to form part of a multinode complex
comprising of up to four x3950 M2s.
The IBM ScaleXpander Option Kit contains the following items:
Scalability cable 3.08m (See Figure 1-6 on page 9.)
Larger cable management arm, which replaces the existing arm to allow the
easy installation of the scalability cables. See Figure 1-7 on page 12 and
Figure 1-8 on page 13.
