A light path diagnostics panel and individual light path LEDs quickly lead the technician to failed (or
failing) components, which simplifies servicing, speeds up problem resolution, and helps improve
system availability.
Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) detects when system components (processors, VRMs, memory,
HDDs, fans, and power supplies) operate outside of standard thresholds and generates proactive
alerts in advance of a possible failure, therefore increasing uptime.
SSDs offer better reliability than traditional HDDs for greater uptime.
The built-in Integrated Management Module Version II (IMM2) continuously monitors system
parameters, triggers alerts, and performs recovery actions in case of failures to minimize downtime.
Built-in diagnostics, using Dynamic Systems Analysis (DSA) Preboot, speed up troubleshooting tasks
to reduce service time.

Page 11
The following rules apply when selecting the memory configuration:
The server supports UDIMMs, RDIMMs, and LRDIMMs.
Mixing different types of memory (UDIMMs, RDIMMs, and LRDIMMs) is not supported.
Mixing 1.5 V and 1.35 V DIMMs is supported; in such a case, all DIMMs operate at 1.5 V.
The maximum number of ranks per one channel is eight (except for Load Reduced DIMMs, where
more than eight ranks are supported, because one quad-rank LRDIMM provides the same electrical
load on a memory bus as a single-rank RDIMM).
The maximum quantity of DIMMs that can be installed in the server depends on the number of CPUs,
DIMM type, rank, and operating voltage, as shown in the "Max. qty supported" row in Table 5.
All DIMMs in the server operate at the same speed, which is determined as the lowest value of the
following items:
Memory speed that is supported by the specific CPU.
Lowest of maximum operating speeds for selected memory configuration that depends on rated
speed, operating voltage, and quantity of DIMMs per channel, as shown under the "Maximum
operating speed" section in Table 5.
The following table (Parts 1 and 2) shows the characteristics of the supported DIMMs. Tables cells that
are highlighted with a gray background indicate when the combination of DIMM voltage and the number of
DIMMs per channel still allows the DIMMs to operate at a rated speed.

If memory mirroring is used, DIMMs must be installed in pairs (minimum of one pair per each CPU), and
both DIMMs in a pair must be identical in type and size.
If memory rank sparing is used, then a minimum of one quad-rank DIMM or two single-rank or dual-rank
DIMMs must be installed per populated channel (the DIMMs do not need being identical). In rank sparing
mode, one rank of a DIMM in each populated channel is reserved as spare memory. The size of a rank

To aid with problem determination, the server includes basic light path diagnostics, which are a set of
LEDs on the front of the server and inside the server that show you which component is failing. The LEDs
are shown in the following figure.
Figure 9. Power button and system LEDs
When an error occurs, the system error LED lights up. You can review the logs through the web interface
of the IMMv2 (see the "Remote management" section).
Remote management
The server contains IBM Integrated Management Module II (IMM2), which provides advanced
service-processor control, monitoring, and an alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a
threshold or if a system component fails, the IMM2 lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem, records
the error in the event log, and alerts you to the problem. Optionally, the IMM2 also provides a virtual
presence capability for remote server management capabilities.
The x3650 M4 HD offers a dedicated Ethernet port at the rear of the server for remote access to the
IMM2. Alternatively, one of the four Ethernet ports that are accessible by the operating system can be
shared with IMM2 access. This feature is enabled through the system setup in UEFI.
The IMM provides remote server management through industry-standard interfaces:
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Version 2.0
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Version 3
Common Information Model (CIM)
Web browser
The optional IBM Integrated Management Module Advanced Upgrade is required to enable the remote
presence and blue-screen capture features. The remote presence feature provides the following
functions:
Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600x1200 at 75 Hz with up to 23 bits per
pixel colors, regardless of the system state
Remotely accessing the server using the keyboard and mouse from a remote client
Mapping the CD or DVD drive, diskette drive, and USB flash drive on a remote client, and mapping
ISO and diskette image files as virtual drives that are available for use by the server
Uploading a diskette image to the IMM memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive

Page 30
The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM restarts the server
when the IMM detects an operating system hang condition. A system administrator can use the
blue-screen capture to assist in determining the cause of the hang condition. The following table lists the
remote management option ordering information.

and asset management strategy that provides you the opportunity to leverage new technologies and turn
your ambitious vision into a tangible solution.

Expand your purchasing power: Affordable monthly payments allow you to change the technology
acquisition discussion from “what can I afford right now” to “what solution is really right for my
business.” IBM Global Financing allows you to expand your purchase power to get you the right
solution.
Accelerate your project’s cash flow break-even point: Acquire your IBM technology today and begin to
realize its benefits now. An FMV lease can help you get the solution that you need now, with low

acquire IBM hardware, software, services, and the financing you need from one IT provider.
