Up to two 3.463GHz Hex-Core Intel Xeon X5690 CPUs can be installed, addressing 288GB of RAM. 128GB of PC3-10600R RAM can be installed with the presense of two CPUs via 18 DIMM slots. <\/p>\n<p>The X3650 M3 only suports SFF Hot-Swap disk drives. No LFF (3.5&#8243;) drives can be installed internally. The SFF drives use a newly designed &#8220;Slim&#8221; HotSwap trays that can be distinguished from earlier models by an orange release handle. <\/p>\n<p>Base X3650 M3 servers support 4 hot-swap or simple-swap drives. Two optional secondary cages can be installed to support 8-16 hot-swap trays depending on optical drive configuration. Simple-Swap configurations are fairly uncommon as they were only availabe with CTO (Custom Build) models from IBM. Contact us if you need spare simple swap disks. <\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>2.5&#8243; SAS &amp; SATA (SFF) Simple Swap Tray<\/td>\n<td>2.5&#8243; SAS &amp; SATA (SFF) Hot Swap Tray<\/td>\n<td> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" alt='IBM X3650 M3 SFF 2.5\" Simple Swap Tray' height=\"74\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/images\/ibm_servers\/ibm_sff_simple_swap.png\" width=\"150\"\/><\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IBM x3650 M3 SFF Tray\" height=\"105\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/images\/ibm_servers\/ibm_sfftray_6g.jpg\"\/><\/td>\n<td> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"isn-lp-side\">\n<section class=\"isn-lp-box\">\n<h3>x3650 M3 HDD Options<\/h3>\n<p>Warning: include(..\/SFF_ORANGE_ONLY_LIST.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in \/home\/claude\/test\/landings\/ibm_servers\/Converted\/x3650_m3.php on line 463<br \/>\nWarning: include(): Failed opening &#8216;..\/SFF_ORANGE_ONLY_LIST.php&#8217; for inclusion (include_path=&#8217;.:\/usr\/share\/php&#8217;) in \/home\/claude\/test\/landings\/ibm_servers\/Converted\/x3650_m3.php on line 463<\/section>\n<section class=\"isn-lp-box\">\n<h3>x3650 M3 Documents<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/servermanuals\/x3650m3_userguide.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Installation &amp; User Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.istoragenetworks.com\/servermanuals\/x3650m3_maintenance.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Maintenance &amp; Troubleshooting<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"isn-lp-box\">\n<h3>x3650  CRU&#x27;s \/ FRU &#x27;s<\/h3>\n<p>Warning: include(..\/SFF_ORANGE_ONLY_FRU_LIST.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in \/home\/claude\/test\/landings\/ibm_servers\/Converted\/x3650_m3.php on line 517<br \/>\nWarning: include(): Failed opening &#8216;..\/SFF_ORANGE_ONLY_FRU_LIST.php&#8217; for inclusion (include_path=&#8217;.:\/usr\/share\/php&#8217;) in \/home\/claude\/test\/landings\/ibm_servers\/Converted\/x3650_m3.php on line 517<\/section>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disk Drives Power Supplies RAID Controllers Overview The IBM X3650 (Type 7945) is part of IBM&#8217;s M3 generation of servers.
