xvi System x3630 M4 Type 7158: Installation and User’s Guide

Chapter 1. The System x3630 M4 Type 7158 server
This Installation and User's Guide contains instructions for setting up your IBM®
System x3630 M4 Type 7158 server, instructions for installing optional devices, and
instructions for starting and configuring the server. For diagnostic and
troubleshooting information, see the Problem Determination and Service Guide that
is on the IBM Documentation CD.
The IBM System x3630 M4 Type 7158 server is a 2S 12U2-high server that is
ideally suited for networking environments that require an optimized combination of
cost, server configuration densities, functionality and efficiency.
Performance, ease of use, reliability, and expansion capabilities were key
considerations in the design of the server. These design features make it possible
for you to customize the system hardware to meet your needs today and provide
flexible expansion capabilities for the future.
The server comes with a limited warranty. For information about the terms of the
warranty, see the printed Warranty Information document that comes with your
server.
The server contains IBM Enterprise X-Architecture®technologies, which help
increase performance and reliability. For more information, see “What your server
offers” on page 7 and “Reliability, availability, and serviceability features” on page
10.
You can obtain up-to-date information about the server and other IBM server
products at http://www.ibm.com/systems/x/. At http://www.ibm.com/support/
mysupport/, you can create a personalized support page by identifying IBM
products that are of interest to you. From this personalized page, you can subscribe
to weekly e-mail notifications about new technical documents, search for information
and downloads, and access various administrative services.
If you participate in the IBM client reference program, you can share information
about your use of technology, best practices, and innovative solutions; build a
professional network; and gain visibility for your business. For more information
about the IBM client reference program, see http://www.ibm.com/ibm/
clientreference/.
The server may support up to four 3.5-inch simple-swap drives, eight 3.5-inch
simple-swap or hot-swap drives or fourteen 3.5-inch hot-swap drives (for this
configuration two of the 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives are located at the rear of
the server) using the supported drive backplane configurations. It supports 3.5-inch
hot-swap Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or SATA hard disk drives or 3.5-inch
simple-swap SATA hard disk drives. The illustrations in this document might differ
slightly from your hardware.
1. 2S represents two sockets
2. Racks are measured in vertical increments of 1.75 inches each. Each increment is called a “U”. A 1-U-high device is 1.75 inches
tall.
