The server offers hot-swap drives supporting basic and advanced hardware RAID redundancy for
data protection and greater system uptime.
The server offers up to two redundant hot-swap power supplies and three dual-motor non-hot-swap
redundant fans to provide cost-efficient availability for applications.
The power source-independent light path diagnostics with individual light path LEDs quickly lead the
technician to failed (or failing) components, simplifying servicing, speeding up problem resolution,
and helping improve system availability.
Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) detects when system components (processors, memory, hard disk
drives, fans, and power supplies) operate outside of standard thresholds and generates proactive
alerts in advance of a possible failure, therefore increasing uptime.
Solid-state drives (SSDs) offer better reliability than traditional mechanical HDDs for greater uptime.
The built-in Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) continuously monitors system parameters,
triggers alerts, and performs recovery actions in case of failure, to minimize downtime.
Built-in diagnostic tests using Dynamic Systems Analysis (DSA) Preboot speeds up troubleshooting
tasks to reduce service time.
Three-year customer replaceable unit and onsite limited warranty, next business day 9x5. Optional
service upgrades are available.
Manageability and security
Powerful systems management features simplify local and remote management of the x3650 M4 BD:
The server includes an Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) to monitor server availability and
perform remote management.
An integrated industry-standard Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) enables improved
setup, configuration, and updates, and simplifies error handling.
Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) V1.2 support enables advanced cryptographic functions,
such as digital signatures and remote attestation.
IBM Systems Director is included for proactive systems management. It offers comprehensive
systems management tools that help increase uptime, reduce costs, and improve productivity through
advanced server management capabilities.
Industry-standard AES NI support provides faster and stronger encryption.
The Intel Execute Disable Bit function can help prevent certain classes of malicious buffer overflow
attacks when combined with a supporting operating system.
Intel Trusted Execution Technology provides enhanced security through hardware-based resistance
to malicious software attacks, allowing an application to run in its own isolated space that is protected
from all other software running on a system.
Energy efficiency
The x3650 M4 BD offers the following energy-efficiency features to save energy, reduce operational
costs, increase energy availability, and contribute to a green environment:
Energy-efficient system board components help lower operational costs.
The x3650 M4 BD is Energy Star 2.0 compliant. Energy Star is the trusted, US government-backed
symbol for energy efficiency, with the goal of helping customers save money and protect the
environment through energy efficient products and practices. For the Power and Performance Data
