IBM System x3530 M4 (E5-2400)
IBM Redbooks Product Guide
The IBM® System x3530 M4 server delivers dual-socket performance in a 1U compact footprint.
Featuring the Intel Romley EN platform, the x3530 M4 is a flexible rack server positioned as a good
investment value, while considering your total cost of ownership (TCO) and IBM commitment. It is
designed to provide more affordable value and increased flexibility with performance and quality to match.
Designed with redundancy, flexible subsystems, and a wider range of configuration options, the x3530 M4
also offers an innovative Feature on Demand (FoD) design for an easier upgrade path.
Suggested use : Business infrastructure, light databases, entry virtualization, enterprise applications, web
serving, small HPC, and cloud applications.
The following figure shows the IBM System x3530 M4.

Did you know
The x3530 M4 offers a flexible and scalable design and a simple upgrade path to eight HDDs plus an
optical drive at the same time. The flexible onboard Ethernet solution provides two standard integrated
Gigabit Ethernet ports and two additional integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports with an optional software
feature for an on-demand upgrade without needing to buy additional hardware. Comprehensive systems
management tools with the next-generation Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) make it easy to
deploy, integrate, service, and manage.
