enterprise/index.html.
ActiveMemory
The Active Memory feature improves the reliability of memory through memory
mirrored channel. Memory mirrored channel mode replicates and stores data
on two pairs of DIMMs within two channels simultaneously. If a failure occurs,
the memory controller switches from the primary pair of memory DIMMs to the
backup pair of DIMMs. For more information about installing DIMMs for
memory mirrored channel, see “Installing a memory module” on page 77.
Large system-memory capacity
The memory bus supports up to 384 GB of system memory when registered
DIMMs are installed. The server supports up to 64 GB if unbuffered DIMMs
are installed. The memory controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for
up to 24 industry-standard PC3-8500 (DDR3-1066), PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333),
or PC3-12800 (DDR3-1600), DDR3 (third-generation double-data-rate),
synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory
modules (DIMMs).
vIBM CDServerGuide Setup and Installation
The CD, which you can download from theServerGuide Setup and Installation
web, provides programs to help you set up the server and install a Windows
operating system. The ServerGuide program detects installed optional hardware
devices and provides the correct configuration programs and device drivers. For
more information about the CD, see “UsingServerGuide Setup and Installation
the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD” on page 116.
vIntegrated network support
The server comes with an integrated dual-port Intel Gigabit Ethernet controller,
which supports connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. For
more information, see “Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page 128.
vIntegrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
This integrated security chip performs cryptographic functions and stores private
and public secure keys. It provides the hardware support for the Trusted
Computing Group (TCG) specification. You can download the software to support
the TCG specification, when the software is available. See http://www.ibm.com/
servers/eserver/xseries/scalable_family.html for details about the TPM
implementation. You can enable TPM support through the Setup utility under the
System Security menu option.
vLarge data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability
The hot-swap server models support a maximum of thirty-two 2.5-inch or eight
3.5-inch hot-swap Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives or hot-swap
Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drives. The simple-swap server models support a
maximum of eight 3.5-inch simple-swap SATA hard disk drives.
With the hot-swap feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives
without turning off the server.
vLight path diagnostics
Chapter 1. The System x3500 M4 server 9
Light path diagnostics provides LEDs to help you diagnose problems. For more
information about the light path diagnostics, see “Light path diagnostics panel” on
page 15 and the on the IBMProblem Determination and Service Guide System x
Documentation CD.
vPCI adapter capabilities
The server has six PCI interface slots. Slot 1 can support PCI Express or PCI-X
adapters through an optional PCI-X interposer card. See “Installing an adapter”
on page 85 for detailed information.
vActive Energy Manager
The IBM Active Energy Manager solution is an IBM Systems Director plug-in that
measures and reports server power consumption as it occurs. This enables you
to monitor power consumption in correlation to specific software application
programs and hardware configurations. You can obtain the measurement values
through the systems-management interface and view them, using IBM Systems
Director. For more information, including the required levels of IBM Systems
Director and Active Energy Manager, see the IBM Systems Director
documentation on the IBM , or see http://www.ibm.com/Systems Director CD
servers/systems/management/director/resources/.
vRedundant connection
The addition of the optional Ethernet daughter card provides failover capability to
a redundant Ethernet connection with the applicable application installed. If a
problem occurs with the primary Ethernet connection and the optional Ethernet
daughter card is installed on the server, all Ethernet traffic that is associated with
the primary connection is automatically switched to the optional redundant
Ethernet daughter card connection. If the applicable device drivers are installed,
this switching occurs without data loss and without user intervention.
vRedundant cooling and optional power capabilities
The server supports a maximum of two 750-watt or 900-watt hot-swap power
supplies and six simple-swap fans, which provide redundancy and hot-swap
capability for a typical configuration. The redundant cooling by the fans in the
server enables continued operation if one of the fans fails. The server comes
with one 750-watt or 900-watt hot-swap power supply and two fans.
You must install fan 2 when you install the second microprocessor in the server.
You can order the optional fan 4, 5, and 6 for cooling redundancy. You can order
the second optional power supply for power redundancy.
Notes:
1. You cannot mix 750-watt and 900-watt power supplies in the server.
2. The server is not running in power redundant mode with two 225W GPUs
installed, two 900-watt power supplies are required.

The ServeRAID adapter provides hardware redundant array of independent disks
(RAID) support to create configurations. The standard RAID adapter provides
RAID levels 0, 1, and 10. An optional RAID adapter is available for purchase.
vSystems-management capabilities
The server comes with an integrated management module II (IMM2). When the
IMM2 is used with the systems-management software that comes with the server,
you can manage the functions of the server locally and remotely. The IMM2 also
provides system monitoring, event recording, and network alert capability. The
system-management connector on the rear of the server is dedicated to the
IMM2. The dedicated system-management connector provides additional security
by physically separating the management network traffic from the production
10 IBM System x3500 M4 Type 7383: Installation and Users Guide
network. You can use the Setup utility to configure the server to use a dedicated
systems-management network or a shared network.
Reliability, availability, and serviceability
Three important computer design features are reliability, availability, and
serviceability (RAS). The RAS features help to ensure the integrity of the data that

IBM Systems Director
IBM Systems Director is a platform-management foundation that streamlines the
way you manage physical and virtual systems supports multiple operating systems
and virtualization technologies in IBM and non-IBM x86 platforms.
Through a single user interface, IBM Systems Director provides consistent views for
viewing managed systems, determining how these systems relate to one other, and
identifying their statuses, helping to correlate technical resources with business
needs. A set of common tasks that are included with IBM Systems Director provides
many of the core capabilities that are required for basic management, which means
instant out-of-the-box business value. The common tasks include the following:
vDiscovery
vInventory
vConfiguration
vSystem health
vMonitoring
vUpdates
vEvent notification
vAutomation for managed systems
The IBM Systems Director web and command-line interfaces provide a consistent
interface that is focused on driving these common tasks and capabilities:
vDiscovering, navigating, and visualizing systems on the network with the detailed
inventory and relationships to the other network resources
vNotifying users of problems that occur on systems and the ability to isolate the
sources of the problems
vNotifying users when systems need updates and distributing and installing
updates on a schedule
vAnalyzing real-time data for systems and setting critical thresholds that notify the
administrator of emerging problems
vConfiguring settings of a single system and creating a configuration plan that can
apply those settings to multiple systems
vUpdating installed plug-ins to add new features and functions to the base
capabilities
vManaging the life cycles of virtual resources
For more information about IBM Systems Director, see the documentation on the
IBM Systems Director CD that comes with the server and the IBM xSeries Systems
Management web page at http://www.ibm.com/systems/software/director/, which
presents an overview of IBM Systems Management and IBM Systems Director.

in use.
vDVD eject button: Press this button to release a DVD or CD from the DVD
drive.
vLight path diagnostics panel: Light path diagnostics is a system of LEDs on
various external and internal components of the server. When an error occurs,
LEDs are lit throughout the server. By viewing the LEDs in a particular order, you
can often identify the source of the error. See “Light path diagnostics panel” on
page 15 for more information about the light path diagnostics.
vOperator information panel: This panel contains controls and LEDs that provide
information about the status of the server. For information about the controls and
LEDs on the operator information panel, see “Operator information panel.”
vRemind button: This button places the system-error LED/check log LED on the
operator information panel into Remind mode. In Remind mode, the system-error
LED flashes once every 2 seconds until the problem is corrected, the server is
restarted, or a new problem occurs.
By placing the system-error LED indicator in Remind mode, you acknowledge
that you are aware of the last failure but will not take immediate action to correct
the problem. The remind function is controlled by the IMM2.
vReset button: Press this button to reset the server and run the power-on
self-test (POST). You might have to use a pen or the end of a straightened paper
clip to press the button. The Reset button is in the lower-right corner of the light
path diagnostics panel.

vPower-on LED: When this LED is lit and not flashing, it indicates that the server
is turned on. The states of the power-on LED are as follows:
Off: Power is not present or the power supply, or the LED itself has failed.
Flashing rapidly (4 times per second): The server is turned off and is not
ready to be turned on. The power-control button is disabled. This will last
approximately 5 to 10 seconds.
Flashing slowly (once per second): The server is turned off and is ready to
be turned on. You can press the power-control button to turn on the server.
Lit: The server is turned on.
vEthernet activity LEDs: When any of these LEDs is flashing, they indicate that
the server is transmitting to or receiving signals from the Ethernet LAN that is
connected to the Ethernet port that corresponds to that LED.
vSystem-locator LED: Use this blue LED to visually locate the server among
other servers. You can use IBM Systems Director to light this LED remotely. This
LED is controlled by the IMM2. When you light the system-locator LED, the LED
will blink and it will continue to blink until you turn it off.
