Overview
Optimized for storage density and performance
Innovative energy-smart design with powerful high-performance processors, a large
capacity of high-performing DDR3 memory, and a balanced feature set make the
x3650 M4 BD server ideal for many general-business applications:
• Latest Xeon E5-2600 v2 series processors and a powerful multicore design to
satisfy various client needs.
• Hot-swap and redundant 750 W and 900 W power supply units designed to meet
80 PLUS certification for greater energy efficiency and savings.
• Redundant cooling fans, low-voltage memory, and energy-smart design to enable
lower power requirements and help lower operational costs.
• Highly functional chipset optimized for better application computing supporting
general-business workloads.
• Sixteen DIMM slots that enable deployment of up to 512 GB of DDR3 memory,
with up to 32 GB memory module.
• Up to 12 front and two rear standard hot-swap 3.5-inch SAS/SATA HDDs or 2.5-
inch SSD via a converter tray.
