enclosure which provides the capability to use standard PCIe cards. Similar to the PowerEdge M610,
the PowerEdge M610x features:

Dual quad- and six-core Intel Xeon processor 5500 and 5600 series

Intel IOH (24D I/O Hub)

Intel QuickPath Architecture

DDR3 memory

DIMM thermal sensors

PCI Express Generation 2

Internal SD Module

iDRAC6 Express
The M610x incorporates the system board of the M610 plus a PCI module—two x16 PCIe slots. The
module's 2nd Generation expansion slots can accommodate any standard full-length or full-height
PCIe card. Supplemental power connectors allow, for the first time in the PowerEdge family,
utilization of up to 2 x 250W or 1 x 350W PCIe cards (inclusive of GPGPUs
