- 8 GB (2x4GB Kit) PC2-5300 CL5 ECC DDR2 SDRAM RDIMM (41Y2768)
The 256 MB XceL4v cache, in multi-chassis configurations, uses system memory for this function. The total system memory as seen by the operating system is reduced by 256 MB per chassis for configurations of more than four sockets.
PCI-E adapter installations
The x3850 M2 server contains PCI-E architecture. Seven 2.5Gb PCIE x8 I/O slots (two are hot-plug).
Rack installations
x3850 M2 4 U, rack-drawer models are designed to be installed in a 19-inch rack cabinet designed for 26-inch deep devices, such as the NetBAY42 ER, NetBAY42 SR, NetBAY25 SR, or NetBAY11.
If using a non-IBM rack, the cabinet must meet the EIA-310-D standards with a depth of at least 71.1 cm (28 in). Also, adequate space (approximately 5 cm (2 in) for the front bezel and 2.5 cm (1 in) for air flow) must be maintained from the slide assembly to the front door of the rack cabinet to allow sufficient space for the door to close and provide adequate air flow.
Power considerations
These x3850 M2 models include two standard 1440-watt, hot-swap power supplies which have redundancy for all configurations when powered at 200 to 240 V ac.
Cable orders: The 10/100/1000 Mbps full-duplex, Dual Ethernet PCI-E Controller is standard with the x3850 M2 server. The RJ-45 connectors provide a 10BaseT or 100/1000Base-TX interface for connecting twisted-pair cable to the Ethernet network. Cabling is not included with the server. To connect the Ethernet controller to a repeater or switch, use a UTP cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. For 100/1000 Mbps operation, Category 5 cabling must be used. For 10 Mbps operation, Category 3, or better, cabling must be used.
There are no additional cabling requirements, other than for system power, keyboard, mouse, and monitor connections.
Installability: The x3850 M2 server requires about 20 minutes for installation. Installation includes unpacking, setting up, and powering on the system. Additional time is required to install an operating system, additional adapters, or features.
