Memory options
The IBM System x3400 M3 supports DDR3 memory. The server supports up to eight DIMMs when one processor is installed and up to 16 DIMMs when two processors are installed. However, the maximum number of DIMMs is limited by the number of ranks in the DIMMs:

RDIMMs Up to 16 single-rank RDIMMs for a maximum of 64 GB (16x 4 GB) Up to 16 dual-rank RDIMMs for a maximum of 128 GB (16x 8 GB)

UDIMMs Up to 16 single-rank UDIMMs for a maximum of 16 GB (16x 1 GB) Up to 16 dual-rank UDIMMs for a maximum of 64 GB (16x 4 GB)

Each CPU has three memory channels, two of which contain three DIMMs per channel and the third contains two DIMMs. RDIMMs can be populated up to three per channel. However, UDIMMs can only be populated two DIMMs per channel. That is, you can have up to 16 RDIMMs installed in the server, but only up to 12 UDIMMs. Mixing UDIMMs and RDIMMs is not supported. Maximum memory speed is limited by memory speed supported by the specific CPU (that is, if the CPU only supports 1066 MHz, then the memory speed cannot exceed 1066 MHz in any case) and by the number and type of DIMMs installed (whatever is lower), as follows:

Intel Xeon 5600 series processors:

1333 MHz when one or two single-rank or dual-rank RDIMMs per channel are installed or one UDIMM per channel is installed 1066 MHz when two UDIMMs per channel are installed 800 MHz when three single-rank or dual-rank RDIMMs per channel are installed 1333 MHz when one single-rank or dual-rank RDIMM per channel is installed or one UDIMM per channel is installed 1066 MHz when two single-rank or dual-rank RDIMMs per channel are installed, or two UDIMMs per channel are installed 800 MHz when three single-rank or dual-rank RDIMMs per channel are installed

Quad-core Intel Xeon 5500 series processors:

Dual-core Intel Xeon 5500 series processors only support memory speed at 800 MHz.

The server supports both 1.5 V and 1.35 V DIMMs. Mixing 1.5 V and 1.35 V DIMMs in the same server is supported for Intel Xeon 5600 series processor-based systems. In such a case, all DIMMs operate at 1.5 V. Intel Xeon 5500 series processor-based systems do not support 1.35 V DIMMs. The following memory protection technologies are supported:

ECC ChipKill (for x4-based RDIMMs) Memory mirroring Memory sparing

If memory mirroring is used, then DIMMs must be installed in pairs (a minimum of one pair per CPU), and both DIMMs in a pair must be identical in type and size. If memory sparing is used, then DIMMs must be installed in sets of three, and all DIMMs in the same set must be identical in type and size. Memory sparing is only supported for Intel Xeon 5600 series processor-based systems.

These options are used in the following ways:

69Y0894 upgrades models with four 3.5" hot-swap HDD bays to eight 3.5" hot-swap HDD bays (configuration 2 in Figure 5). Disk backplanes are directly connected to the ports on the RAID controller. If this option is used, then only one UltraSlim optical drive can be installed. Internal tapes are not supported in this configuration. 69Y0895 upgrades models with eight 2.5" hot-swap HDD bays to 16x 2.5" hot-swap HDD bays (configuration 4 in Figure 5). This option includes a SAS expander card that fits into a regular PCI-E slot, decreasing the number of available slots by one. The RAID controller occupies a separate PCI-E slot. Two PCI-E slots are occupied by storage cards in this configuration. Disk backplanes are connected to the SAS expander, and the SAS expander is connected to the RAID controller.

Internal tape drives

The server supports the SATA, USB, and SAS internal tape drive and RDX options listed in the following table. These internal drives are installed in the 5.25" HH bays in the server. However, not all configurations offer 5.25" HH bays as shown in Figure 5. The configuration rules are:

A maximum of two SATA tape drives, one SAS tape drive, or one USB tape drive is supported. The SAS tape drive requires a SAS HBA to be installed in the server. The USB tape and RDX drive is connected to the dedicated USB tape drive connector on the system board. If two internal tape drives are installed, then the maximum number of optical drives is limited to one. Configurations with eight 3.5" HDD bay configurations do not support tape drives (Figure 5). Configurations with 24x 2.5" HDD bay support either one internal tape drive or one internal optical drive, but not both (Figure 5).

The server does not support High IOPS adapters.

Power supplies
The server supports either one 670 W AC fixed power supply or up to two 920 W AC hot-swap redundant power supplies, providing N+N redundancy. Standard models come with one power supply, either fixed or hot-swap, depending on the model as listed in Table 2. For models with one 920 W AC hot-swap redundant power supply, you can add a second power supply by ordering the option listed in the following table. Table 18. Power supplies
Part number 44X0381 Description IBM Redundant Power Supply for x3400/3500 Maximum quantity supported 2 (One power supply comes standard with every model.)

The power supply ships without a line cord. A line cord must be ordered separately (country-specific). Note: Power supply option 44X0381 is for both the x3400 M3 and the x3500 M3. The power supply option includes three fans however these fans are only for use with the x3500 M3. They are not used in the x3400 M3. (The x3400 M3 includes physical space for the fans but there is no electrical connection for the fans in the x3400 M3.)

Remote management
The server contains IBM Integrated Management Module (IMM), which provides advanced service-processor control, monitoring, and an alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, the IMM lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem, records the error in the event log, and alerts you to the problem. Optionally, the IMM also provides a virtual presence capability for remote server management capabilities. The IMM provides remote server management through industry-standard interfaces:

Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Version 2.0 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Version 3 Common Information Model (CIM) Web browser

The optional virtual media key is required to enable the remote presence and blue-screen capture features. The remote presence feature provides the following functions:

Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1280x1024 at 75 Hz, regardless of the system state Remotely accessing the server using the keyboard and mouse from a remote client Mapping the CD or DVD drive, diskette drive, and USB flash drive on a remote client, and mapping ISO and diskette image files as virtual drives that are available for use by the server Uploading a diskette image to the IMM memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive

The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM restarts the server when the IMM detects an operating system hang condition. A system administrator can use the blue-screen capture to assist in determining the cause of the hang condition. The following table lists the remote management option. Table 20.
