Compatibility
The System x3250 M2 systems contain licensed system programs that include set configuration, set features, and test programs. System BIOS (BIOS modified to IBM
IBM Europe, Middle East, and Africa Hardware Announcement ZG09-0272
IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation
13
specifications) is loaded from a "flash" EEPROM into system memory. This BIOS provides instructions and interfaces designed to support the standard features of the server and to maintain compatibility with many current software programs.
For detailed information about IBM and non-IBM devices, adapters, software, and network operating systems supported with System x servers, visit
http://www-304.ibm.com/jct01004c/systems/support/
Contact your IBM representative or IBM Business Partner, or refer to the IBM Sales Manual for information on the compatibility of hardware and software for System x servers. The Sales Manual is updated periodically as new features and options are announced that support these servers.
Limitations
• Mixing different-speed HDDs (10,000 rpm with 15,000 rpm) will impact storage
performance.
• Mixing SAS and SATA HDDs will impact storage performance.
• To ensure proper air flow for cooling, the System x3250 M2 server requires a rack
with a perforated door.
• Processor upgrades are not supported.
• Use the version of ServerGuide shipped with the system, or a later version, to
load software and drivers. Earlier versions of ServerGuide may not be compatible with the server.
• When using the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, you can install only a
half-length adapter in expansion slot 1 due to mechanical interference.
Refer to the Software requirements section for operating system limitations.
Planning information
Customer responsibilities
Designated as customer setup. Customer setup instructions are shipped with the system.
Bay configuration
The System x3250 M2 server contains three or five drive bays. One bay contains the standard optical drive.
• Two 3.5-inch, slim-high bays located side-by-side on the lower front section of the
server support installation of various SATA or SAS HDDs.
• Four 2.5-inch bays located in the lower front section supports SAS HDDs.
Cabling
• The System x3250 M2 server contains a SATA cable to support the SATA optical
drive.
• System x3250 M2 simple-swap SATA models contain a two-drop cable to support
two HDDs.
• System x3250 M2 hot-swap models contain a mini-SAS cable and a power
interposer cable to support two or four hot-swap HDDs.
Rack installations
System x3250 M2 1U, rack-drawer models can be installed in a 48 cm (19-in) rack cabinet such as the IBM 42U Standard Rack or IBM 25U Standard Rack.
If you use a non-IBM rack, the cabinet must meet the EIA-310-D standards with a depth of at least 71 cm (28 in). Also, adequate space (approximately two inches for the front bezel and one inch for air flow) must be maintained from the slide
IBM Europe, Middle East, and Africa Hardware Announcement ZG09-0272

14
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
The System x3250 M2 server includes a standard 351 W power supply. This power supply provides sufficient power to run the server fully configured with supported devices.
Cable orders
The dual 10/100/1000 Mbps, full-duplex Ethernet controllers, standard with the System x3250 M2 server, are connected directly to independent RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 connectors provide a 10BaseT, 100Base-TX, or 1000Base-TX interface for connecting a 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 Mbps or more operation, category 5 or better cabling must be used.
There are no additional cabling requirements, other than for system power, keyboard, mouse, and monitor connections.
Installability
The System x3250 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.
Packaging
The system unit carton contains:
• System unit

Warranty service
If required, IBM provides repair or exchange service, depending on the type of warranty service specified below for the machine. IBM will attempt to resolve your problem over the telephone or electronically by access to an IBM Web site. Certain machines contain remote support capabilities for direct problem reporting, remote problem determination, and resolution with IBM. You must follow the problem determination and resolution procedures that IBM specifies. Following problem determination, if IBM determines On-site Service is required, scheduling of service will depend upon the time of your call, machine technology and redundancy, and availability of parts. Service levels are response-time objectives and are not guaranteed. The specified level of warranty service may not be available in all worldwide locations. Additional charges may apply outside IBM's normal service area. Contact your local IBM representative or your reseller for country- and location-specific information.
The type of service is Customer Replaceable Unit (for example, keyboard, mouse, speaker, memory, or hard disk drive) Service and On-site Service.
Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) Service
IBM provides a replacement CRU to you for you to install. CRU information and replacement instructions are shipped with your machine and are available from IBM at any time on your request. A CRU is designated as being either a Tier 1 (mandatory) or a Tier 2 (optional) CRU. Installation of Tier 1 CRUs, as specified in this announcement, is your responsibility. If IBM installs a Tier 1 CRU at your request, you will be charged for the installation. You may install a Tier 2 CRU yourself or request IBM to install it, at no additional charge, under the type of warranty service specified below, On-site Service.
Based upon availability, a CRU will be shipped for next business day (NBD) delivery. IBM specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CRU whether a defective CRU must be returned to IBM. When return is required, return instructions and a container are shipped with the replacement CRU, and you may be charged for the replacement CRU if IBM does not receive the defective CRU within 15 days of your receipt of the replacement.
The following parts have been designated as Tier 1 CRUs:
• Battery
• Blank filler
• Cable-management arm
• Hard disk drive
• Hot-swap fan

On-site Service
This provides On-site Repair, 9 hours per day, Monday through Friday excluding holidays, NBD response. IBM or your reseller will repair the failing machine at your location and verify its operation. You must provide a suitable working area to allow disassembly and reassembly of the IBM machine. The area must be clean, well lit, and suitable for the purpose. On-site Service is not available in all countries, and some countries have kilometer or mileage limitations from an IBM service center. In those locations where On-site Service is not available, the normal in-country service delivery is used.
International Warranty Service
International Warranty Service (IWS) is available in selected countries or regions.
The warranty service type and the service level provided in the servicing country may be different from that provided in the country in which the machine was purchased.
Under IWS, warranty service will be provided with the prevailing warranty service type and service level available for the IWS-eligible machine type in the servicing country, and the warranty period observed will be that of the country in which the machine was purchased.
To determine the eligibility of your machine and to view a list of countries where service is available, visit
