onsite service if necessary to those customers entitled to onsite support under the terms of their

warranty or an IBM Maintenance Agreement. Service and Support Manager resides on a server

and provides electronic support and problem management capabilities through a highly secure

electronic dialogue between your systems and IBM. It monitors networked servers for hardware

errors and it can perform hardware and software inventories and report inventory changes to

IBM. All information sent to IBM is stored in a highly secure database and used for improved

problem determination.

Additional services include hardware warranty upgrades and factory-installed Product

Customization Services (PCS), such as asset tagging, hardware integration, software imaging

and operating systems personalization.

IBM offers extensive industry-leading technical support by phone and via the Web. Support

options include links to forums/newsgroups, problem submission, online shopping support,

service offerings, device drivers for all IBM product lines, software downloads and even

upcoming technical seminar worldwide schedules and registration. Also available are remote

installation, configuration and usage support for System x hardware and software, as well as

onsite custom services to provide the level of expertise you require.

IBM Maintenance and Technical Support solutions can help you get the most out of your IT

investment by reducing support costs, increasing availability and simplifying management with

integrated support for your multiproduct, multivendor hardware and software environment. For

Key Options

IBM options for System x servers help you take your servers to a

higher level

You can rely on System x options to supply a complete solution for your business needs. Options

help you create an optimized server system to meet your data protection, storage and availability

needs. Every IBM option is designed and tested for peak performance and flexibility, helping to

maximize your return on investment. The combination of System x servers and options lets you

keep your fingers on the pulse of your e-business.

Processors — The Intel Xeon processors provide high clock rates, a choice of 10, 8, 6, or 4

cores, a large L3 cache and advanced features for availability and manageability (processor-

specific). Large cache size, combined with fast 1066MHz memory access, reduces memory

latency and facilitates the movement of data through the processor and I/O devices. (Note:

System performance depends not only on the number of processors in the server but also on the

power and functionality of each processor.) Adding a second processor may be a cost-effective

way to achieve significant performance improvements.

Memory — Memory is a significant factor in systems application performance. Adding more

memory to a System x server is one of the most effective ways to increase application

performance. For optimum performance, an 8-core processor should have twice as much

memory as a 4-core processor. x3690 X5 servers support 32 DIMMs natively and 64 DIMMs

using a MAX5 memory expansion unit. 1.35V DIMMs (machine type 7147) can help reduce

energy consumption by up to 19%.

Hard Disk Drives — IBM hard disk drives help customers improve the transaction and cost

performance of their System x servers. The choice of hard disk drives can be a critical aspect of

maximizing the I/O throughput of the system. SAS hard disk drives (2.5-inch) are available for

the eX5 servers with capacities of 500GB at 7,200 RPMs, up to 600GB at 10,000 RPMs, and

146.8GB at 15,000 RPMs. Enterprise-class 2.5-inch SATA hard disk drives are available with

capacities of up to 500GB at 7,200 RPMs.

Solid State Drives — IBM offers a choice of 50GB or 200GB 1.8” solid-state drives as a higher

reliability, lower-energy-use, higher-IOPS alternative to internal HDDs. They can be used as a

highly available boot drive, for storing disk images, or for other uses that stress read

performance, such as databases.

High IOPS SSD PCIe Adapters — For storage media offering up to 500 times the I/O

operations per second (IOPS) and up to 7.7 times the bandwidth of 15,000-RPM HDDs, IBM

offers the 160GB High IOPS SS Class SSD PCIe Adapter, the 320GB High IOPS SS Class

SSD PCIe Adapter, the 320GB High IOPS MS Class SSD PCIe Adapter, and the 320GB High

IOPS SD Class SSD PCIe Adapter, as well as the 640GB High IOPS MLC Duo Adapter.

These adapters offer near-DRAM performance, with extremely high data retention (up to 25

years) and RAID-grade data protection, and can be used in addition to HDDs and SSDs.

IBM ServeRAID Controllers — System x servers using ServeRAID technology allow companies

to build a reliable foundation for business-critical computing. IBM ServeRAID technology allows

an array consisting of multiple physical hard disk drives to be treated as one logical drive.

ServeRAID technology also allows data to be stored redundantly, across multiple hard disk

drives— enhancing both the integrity and the availability of the data. SAS and SATA ServeRAID

controllers offer enhanced performance due to onboard processors and cache. Because IBM
