The system must have an attached monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

Three years

For configurations that support the RAID Battery, the RAID battery will be warranted for one year effective on its "Date of Installation". All other product warranty terms for the machine remain unchanged.

An IBM part or feature installed during the initial installation of an IBM machine is subject to a full warranty effective on the date of installation of the machine. An IBM part or feature which replaces a previously installed part or feature assumes the remainder of the warranty period for the replaced part or feature. An IBM part or feature added to a machine without replacing a previously installed part or feature is subject to a full warranty effective on its date of installation. Unless specified otherwise, the warranty period, type of warranty service and service level of a part or feature is the same as the machine it is installed in.

Solid-state memory cells have an intrinsic, finite number of write cycles that each cell can incur. As a result, each solid-state device has a maximum amount of write cycles to which it can be subjected, documented as TBW (Total Bytes Written). IBM is not responsible for replacement of hardware that has reached the maximum guaranteed number of write cycles. This limit can be revealed as the device failing to communicate to system generated commands or become incapable of being written to.

The IBM System x3300 M4 Express Model servers contain licensed system programs that include set configuration, set features, and test programs. System BIOS is loaded from a "flash" EEPROM into system memory. This BIOS provides instructions and interfaces designed to support the standard features of the IBM System x3300 M4 Express Model server, and to maintain compatibility with many current software programs.

Contact your IBM representative, IBM Business Partner, or refer to the IBM Sales Manual for information on the compatibility of hardware and software for IBM System x3300 M4 Express Model servers. The Sales Manual is updated periodically as new features and options are announced that support these servers.

The IBM System x3300 M4 Express Model server has these limitations:

• The IBM System x3300 M4 Express Model servers support 384 GB of system memory with a 32 GB memory RDIMM added in each of 12 DIMM slots. All supported system memory is addressable through direct memory access (DMA).

  The IBM System x3300 M4 Express Model server supports 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB memory synchronized with processor FSB bandwidth. DIMMs must be installed in matched pairs. Refer to the Overview section for supported memory options.

• Mixing microprocessors of different speeds or cache size is not supported.
• Use the version of ServerGuide shipped with the system, or a later version, to load software and drivers. Earlier versions of ServerGuide might not be compatible with the server.

The IBM System x3300 M4 Express Model server is shipped standard with one processor, which has only 6 DIMM sockets attached.

Refer to the Software requirements section for operating system limitations.
