Did you know?
The x240 M5 Compute Node uses IBM TruDDR4 Memory DIMM technology, which offers higher clock
speeds, faster data transfer rates, and runs at a lower voltage (1.2V). With DDR4 technology, memory
DIMMs can now operate at speeds up to 2133 MHz, which provides lower latency times and enhanced
computing power. The TruDDR4 Memory portfolio includes RDIMMs with advanced error correction for
reliability, performance, and maximum memory capacity. In addition, TruDDR4 Memory supports memory
performance that exceeds industry standards.
The x240 M5 Compute Node integrates leadership security and reliability. System x Trusted Platform
Assurance, an exclusive set of System x features and practices, establishes a foolproof security
foundation for your workloads. Enterprise-class data protection is provided with optional self-encrypting
drives and simple, centralized key management through IBM Security Key Lifecycle Management.
