Value-priced performance, capacity and availability
®
The single-socket IBM
System x3200, incorporating IBM X-Architecture
outstanding value to workgroups by combining scalable performance and availability features at an
outstanding price. The x3200 supports the latest dual-core Intel
designed with either an 800MHz or a 1067MHz front-side bus (FSB), 64-bit extensions (EM64T), and
2MB or 4MB L2 cache, to help provide customers with the computing power they need to match their
business needs and growth. For the first time in a product of this class, the x3200 supports Xeon
processors, which provide outstanding longevity and stability, in addition to substantially improved
performance compared to the previous-generation x206m server. (Future models will support the quad-
core Xeon processor, when available.) In addition, the x3200 uses industry-standard 667MHz PC2-
5300 ECC (Error Checking and Correcting) memory-for high performance and reliability.
All models offer impressive scalability, including dual-processor support, up to 8GB of memory and up to
four simple-swap or hot-swap enterprise-class Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drives with a total
1
capacity of up to 2TB
, or up to four high-performance hot-swap Serial-Attach SCSI (SAS) drives with
an internal storage capacity of 1.2TB. For additional performance and high availability, the x3200 offers
integrated hardware RAID-0/1/1E support standard in the hot-swap SAS/SATA models (optional for
simple-swap SATA models). To meet customers' backup requirements, the x3200 supports a choice of
half-high tape drives, a DVD-RAM optical drive, or a GoVault removable disk drive. The x3200 ships
as a tower unit; an optional rack conversion kit turns the x3200 into a 5U rack-mounted server to save
precious data center floor space.
Standard in the x3200 is a mini Baseboard Management Controller (mBMC) that enables users to
manage and control the server easily-both locally and remotely. This high level of manageability is
designed to keep costs down and the system up-even when network usage increases. Other
advanced features that help maximize network availability by increasing uptime, include simple-swap or
hot-swap/redundant HDDs, hot-swap/redundant power and fans; temperature-controlled fans with
™
Calibrated Vectored Cooling
; and industry-standard IPMI 1.5 support, including highly secure
remote power control.
With the inclusion of unique IBM service and support features such as IBM Director, IBM
™
ServerGuide
and support for the optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, the x3200 is
equally well designed for a locally managed data center environment as for a remotely managed or
stand-alone environment, while offering maximum availability.
For a balance of high-performance dual-core processing, high availability and vast internal SAS storage
at a budget price, the x3200 is the ideal system.
Price/Performance
The x3200 offers numerous features to boost performance and reduce product and operating costs:
• Models containing the dual-core Pentium D processor, with fast 800MHz front side bus and 4MB of
independent (2MB per core) Level 2 cache, offer high-performance at an entry price.
• Models containing the dual-core Xeon processor, with high-end 1066MHz front side bus and 2MB or
4MB of shared Level 2 cache, offer superior performance and durability, capable of tackling the
toughest jobs.
• Low-voltage processors draw less power and produce less waste heat than high-voltage
processors, thus helping to reduce data center energy costs.
• Ultra-fast 667MHz PC2-5300 DDR II ECC memory offers high speed and high availability.

If the timer is not reset within five minutes, it automatically triggers the ASR hardware, which immediately restarts the server (and logs an ASR event with IBM Director). These features are designed so that no more than five minutes can pass before the server is restarted.
