These bays are ready for various supported hot-swap or simple-swap drive option installation. The three bays on the top portion of tower models are designed primarily for removable media devices. One bay contains the SATA DVD drive, while the remaining two 5.25-inch half-high bays can support tape backup or other devices.

ServeRAID-BR10i is a standard offering on hot-swap models.

The SATA DVD is cabled directly to the SATA port.

External SAS attachment

In the configurations where an external SAS device attachment is required, a support SAS adapter is required.

External serial attachment

To attach an external serial cable RS-232, use the serial connector at the rear of the system.

Processor upgrades

The following processor upgrades are supported:

• Xeon E5502 1.86 GHz/4.8 GTS-4 MB 2C (80w) (46D1350)

• Xeon E5504 2.0 GHz/4.8 GTS-4 MB 4C (80w) (46D1351)

* Twelve DIMM slots that enable you to deploy up to 96 GB of DDR3 SDRAM Registered DIMM memory, with 2, 4 GB memory standard (model dependent) 8 GB DIMM optional (post system availability).

Power supply requirements

These models contain one 670-watt fixed power supply. One power supply has enough power to supply a fully loaded box. If redundancy is required, you should install additional power supply to ensure sufficient power will be available. A fault light illuminates when a power supply fails.

Optional rack installations

These models are optionally installable as rack units and are designed so they can be installed in an industry-standard 19-inch rack cabinet such as the NetBAY42 or NetBAY25. The x3400 M2 server system requires a rack mount kit for rack installation. In addition, it can also be installed in the deeper NetBAY42 ER.

If you choose not to use an IBM rack, the cabinet must meet EIA-310-D standards for mounting flanges and hole clearances with front to rear mounting of 70 - 73 cm

IBM Europe, Middle East, and Africa Hardware Announcement ZG09-0254

IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation

(27.5 - 28.5 in). The rack must provide sufficient room in front of the forward EIA flange to allow for bezel attachment. The standard for 310-D suggests 49 mm (1.9 in) clearance. It must also provide adequate room at the rear of the rack, behind the rear flange for cable management; the System x3400 server requires approximately

16.6 cm (6.5 in) in this space.

The rack should include perforated front and rear doors and must not prevent the flow of cool air into or out of the rack. The weight handling capacity of the rack is

22.7 kg (50 lb). Finally, the rack must provide proper stabilization so that the rack does not become unstable when servers are pulled out of service.

Cable orders

Broadcom 5709C 10/100/1000 Mbps, full-duplex dual Gigabit Ethernet PCI-Express controllers, standard with the x3400 M2 servers, are connected directly to one independent RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 connectors provide a 10BaseT, 100BaseTX, or 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.

IBM Electronic Services

IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to help you achieve higher system availability. Electronic Services is a Web-enabled solution that offers an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available for IBM servers. These services are designed to provide the opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate, but complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic Services Agent.

The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support. The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems.

The Electronic Service Agenttm is no-additional-charge software that resides on your server. It monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on a periodic, client-defined timetable. The Electronic Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to deliver proactive service that may result in higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent is made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer your questions or diagnose problems. Installation and use of IBM Electronic Service Agent for problem reporting enables IBM to provide better support and service for your IBM server.

• Battery

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.

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.
