The Bottom Line The IBM System x3620 M3 is an extremely energy efficient, powerful system, incorporating
significantly redesigned management tools and abundant IBM-unique innovations:
Price/Performance
• High-throughput processors — Up to two 2.66GHz 6-core or 2.13GHz to 2.53GHz 4-core
Xeon 5600 Series processors; or two 2.13GHz to 2.26GHz 4-core Xeon 5500 Series
processors
• Energy-efficient low-voltage processors — 40W 4-core and 60W 6-core Xeon 5600 Series
processors (via the CTO process)
• Hyper Threading Technology for up to 12 processor cores and 24 threads total (processor-
specific)
• Turbo Boost Technology for a performance boost when not all cores are in use (processor-
specific)
• 64-bit extensions (EM64T)
• Large cache — 12MB or 4MB of L3 processor cache (processor-specific)
• Fast memory — Registered PC3-10600 DDR III ECC DIMMs standard, operating at
1333MHz, 1066MHz or 800Mhz (depending on processor model and memory configuration);
supports 2 DIMMs per channel at 1333MHz (5600 Series only)
• Fast disk technology — Supports high-performance 6Gbps SAS drives that provide high
density/high reliability and allow you to scale up as your business grows.
• Fast communications — Integrated dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers standard, with
failover support
• Fast I/O — Three PCIe adapter slots (2 x8 and 1 x4)
Flexibility
• Large memory capacity — Up to 96GB of registered DDR3 DIMMs, in 12 DIMM slots
• Up to 8 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA HDDs or 4 simple-swap SATA HDDs
• Choice of disk storage — Up to 16.0TB of internal hot-swap/simple-swap SATA storage,
4.8TB of internal hot-swap SAS storage
• High-performance external expansion — Five 480Mbps USB 2.0 ports (two front, two rear,
one internal for an optional tape drive, IBM RDX Removable Disk Backup System), plus a
flash memory USB key containing an embedded hypervisor support
• Slotless hardware-based 3Gbps RAID-0/1/1E, or 6Gbps RAID-0/1/10 or RAID-0/1/10/5/50
standard
• Three available adapter slots:
One x16/x8 11 PCIe Gen 2 slots (8GBps)
One x8/x8 12 PCIe Gen 2 slots (8GBps)
One x16/x4 13 PCIe Gen 2 slot (4GBps)—requires a non-I/O card
• Choice of optional DVD-RW drive, or tape drive, or RDX Removable Disk Backup System
Manageability, Serviceability and Availability
• IBM Systems Director systems management software, including (among others):
IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager
IBM Service and Support Manager
• Integrated Management Module (IMM):
IPMI 2.0 compliance, including highly secure remote power control
Text console redirection systems management standard
Optional Virtual Media Key daughter card (no slot required)
– Supports LDAP and SSL industry standards
