High-performance server subsystems
The System x3650 M2 server expands the new server line by adding a higher level
of processor power. This high-throughput, four-way multi-core network server
offers excellent performance and scalability when you add memory and a second
processor. It incorporates powerful Xeon processors with up to 8 MB L2 cache. The
advanced transfer L2 cache is integrated onto the processor and runs at the same
clock speed. The advanced transfer cache is a result of a "backside bus" 256 bits
wide. It features a quad-wide cache line that can transfer four 64-bit cache line
segments at one time to deliver full-speed capability. The cache is eight-way set
associative.
Two Intel Xeon processor connectors are standard on the system board to support
installation of a second processor. High-speed PC3-10600 DDR3 Advanced Memory
Feature DIMMs run at 667 MHz DRAM clock speed and offer maximum 10600 MB/
s bandwidth, processor-to-memory subsystem performance. The x3650 M2 server
uses the Intel 5500 chipset with Chipkill technology to maximize throughput from
processors, to memory, to the 32-bit and 64-bit PCI buses.
Note: The System x3650 M2 server models use a Serial Attachment SCSI (SAS)
controller for HDDs.
Additional features
• Eight-core processing achieved with a second processor of equal speed and
processor type
• System board containing 16 DIMM connectors supporting 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, and 8
GB DDR3 PC3-10600 SDRAM ECC DIMMs with:
– DDR3 memory for improved performance
– Up to 128 GB of system memory using 8 GB optional DIMMs
• High-speed, wide-bandwidth PCI-Express or PCI/PCI-X bus slots:
• Nine bays standard to support eight 2.5-inch standard SAS HDDs and a CD-R/CD-
RW/DVD drive
• Dual Broadcom 5709 chip that supports dual Gigabit (10/100/1000) Ethernet
ports, which speed network communications to LAN clients
The System x3650 M2 server offer solid system throughput from processor, to
memory, to bus, to disk-intensive I/O. These features, combined with multi-core
capability, make the x3650 M2 server an excellent choice for a stand-alone or
clustered general-business application, file, and print server.
