server

Key Prerequisites |
The system must have an attached monitor, keyboard, and
mouse.
|
Warranty |
Three years
For configurations that support the RAID Battery, the RAID
battery will be warranted for one year effective on its "Date of
Installation". All other product warranty terms for the machine
remain unchanged.
An IBM part or feature installed during the initial installation
of an IBM machine is subject to a full warranty effective on the
date of installation of the machine. An IBM part or feature which
replaces a previously installed part or feature assumes the
remainder of the warranty period for the replaced part or feature.
An IBM part or feature added to a machine without replacing a
previously installed part or feature is subject to a full warranty
effective on its date of installation. Unless specified otherwise,
the warranty period, type of warranty service and service level of
a part or feature is the same as the machine it is installed
in.
Solid-state memory cells have an intrinsic, finite number of
write cycles that each cell can incur. As a result, each
solid-state device has a maximum amount of write cycles to which it
can be subjected, documented as TBW (Total Bytes Written). IBM is
not responsible for replacement of hardware that has reached the
maximum guaranteed number of write cycles. This limit can be
revealed as the device failing to communicate to system generated
commands or become incapable of being written to.

Compatibility |
The IBM System x3300 M4 Express Model servers contain licensed
system programs that include set configuration, set features, and
test programs. System BIOS is loaded from a "flash" EEPROM into
system memory. This BIOS provides instructions and interfaces
designed to support the standard features of the IBM System x3300
M4 Express Model server, and to maintain compatibility with many
current software programs.
To view detailed information on the Internet about IBM and
non-IBM devices, adapters, software, and network operating systems
supported with IBM System x3300 M4 Express Model servers, visit
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/
Contact your IBM representative, IBM Business Partner, or refer
to the IBM Sales Manual for information on the compatibility of
hardware and software for IBM System x3300 M4 Express Model
servers. The Sales Manual is updated periodically as new features
and options are announced that support these servers.

Limitations |
The IBM System x3300 M4 Express Model server has these
limitations:
- The IBM System x3300 M4 Express Model servers support 384 GB of
system memory with a 32 GB memory RDIMM added in each of 12 DIMM
slots. All supported system memory is addressable through direct
memory access (DMA).
The IBM System x3300 M4 Express Model server supports 2 GB, 4
GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB memory synchronized with processor FSB
bandwidth. DIMMs must be installed in matched pairs. Refer to the
Overview section for supported memory options.
- Mixing microprocessors of different speeds or cache size is not
supported.
- Use the version of ServerGuide shipped with the system, or a
later version, to load software and drivers. Earlier versions of
ServerGuide might not be compatible with the server.
The IBM System x3300 M4 Express Model server is shipped standard
with one processor, which has only 6 DIMM sockets attached.
Refer to the Software requirements section for
operating system limitations.
Solid-state memory cells have an intrinsic, finite number of
write cycles that each cell can incur. As a result, each
solid-state device has a maximum amount of write cycles to which it
can be subjected, documented as Total Bytes Written (TBW). IBM is
not responsible for replacement of hardware that has reached the
maximum guaranteed number of write cycles. This limit can be
revealed as the device failing to communicate to system generated
