The IBM System x3300 M4 Type 7382 is a self-contained, entry level,
tower-optimized, dual processor, 4U
system. The platform is Intel Romley-En. It supports Intel Sandy-bridge EN
processors, a dual processor platform, and DDR3 Unbuffered/Register/Load
Reduced-DIMM w/ ECC 800/1066/1333/1600MHz for system memory. The core
chip (core logic) used in the platform is Intel Patsburg-A.
The planar dimension is 12x10.5 inch, 8 layers PCB board implementing with one
LGA-1356 (socket-B2) CPU socket and on-board VRD12 to support primary
processor. The secondary processor is supported by an optional YungAn CPU riser
card it implements one LGA-1356 (socket-B2) CPU socket and VRD12 to support
dual processors mode. The planar also implements other system devices such as
on-board SATA host controller, on-board Intel I350 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet
controller, on-board Graphics controller, other system I/O functions, and on-board
iBMC, Renesas SH7757 (IPMI 2.0) w/ RTMM H8S-2117A for system management.
The server is scalable in cost, configuration, performance and availability. With
improved system Reliability/Availability/ Serviceability (RAS) and System
Management processor, the memory RAS features include on-line spare memory,
memory mirroring and chip-kill support. The FoD features include the onboard
Ethernet upgrade from 2 ports to 4 ports, Patsburg A to K upgrade key and
SW/HW RAID5 upgrade key.
The server comes with a limited warranty. For information about the terms of the
warranty and getting service and assistance, see the IBM Warranty Information
document that comes with the server.
The server contains IBM X-Architecture next generation technologies, which help
increase performance and reliability. For more information, see "What your server
offers" on page 9 and "Reliability, availability, and serviceability" on page 13.
