Notes:

IBM eServer xSeries 366 servers are high-performance, four-socket 64-bit SMP-capable x86 mission-critical servers. The xSeries 366 combines breakthrough 4-socket performance on an 64-bit x86 server optimized for commercial enterprise applications deployed in the application-serving tier. These models are equipped with powerful 64-bit Xeon MP processors up to 3.66 GHz and 1 MB L2 cache. This new processor supports 64-bit extensions and compatibility with current 32-bit applications and system tools. Four connectors for Xeon MP processors are standard on the system board.

As the first in a new family of eServer X3 systems, the xSeries 366 server is fine tuned and engineered to optimize the powerful new 64-bit Xeon MP processors. This architecture consists of the following components:

• 64-bit Intel Xeon MP processors on a highly reliable, high-performance 667MHz dual FSB architecture
• IBM XA-64e third-generation chipset with integrated processor and memory controller for reduced latencies and a high-throughput I/O southbridge supporting PCI-X 2.0 up to 266MHz
• EM64T Memory addressability supporting up to 64GB of max memory (when 4GB DIMMs become available) to reduce paging and improve overall server performance
• Updated high-performance server technologies such as serial-attached SCSI (SAS), DDR2-based Active Memory, and XceL4v Dynamic Server Cache

The Dual Core X3 upgrade option allows customer to upgrade single-core CPU models to dual-core CPUs. Please check the systems configuration to ensure you are ordering the correct CPU FRU. Dual Core X3 upgrade kit contains a new processor board as well as instructions to register the x366 server with IBM Service.
