M1-M2 share the same disk drives. The best way to determine which server you have is via the 4-digit IBM feature code on the front of your server. Certain upgrade options are common across all three generations (such as disk drives), but other features such as CPU upgrades are not common across all generations.<\/p>\n<p>Choose by capacity (left sidebar) or IBM Replacement Part FRU (right sidebar) for more information. All x3200 servers have optional internal (non-RAID) SATA disk modules.<\/p>\n<p>Contact us if you need more information or integration assistance for your IBM x3200 Server.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>FC<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Max Memory<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Max # CPUs &amp; Speed<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Storage Bays (Front)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4362 (M1)<\/td>\n<td>8GB (4x 2GB PC2-5300) <br \/>\n Non-Registered<\/td>\n<td>1x 2.4Ghz Dual Core Xeon<\/td>\n<td>4x Simple-Swap SATA (1TB)<br \/>\n 4x Hot-Swap SATA (1TB)<br \/>\n 4x Hot-Swap SAS (600GB)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4363 (M1)<\/td>\n<td>8GB (4x 2GB PC2-5300) <br \/>\n Non-Registered<\/td>\n<td>1x 2.4Ghz Dual Core Xeon<\/td>\n<td>4x Simple-Swap SATA (1TB)<br \/>\n 4x Hot-Swap SATA (1TB)<br \/>\n 4x Hot-Swap SAS (600GB)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4367 (M2)<\/td>\n<td>8GB (4x 2GB PC2-5300) <br \/>\nNon-Registered<\/td>\n<td>1x Xeon 3.0GHz Quad-Core or 2.8GHz Core Duo (Uses Intel Socket LGA-775)<\/td>\n<td>4x Simple-Swap SATA (1TB)<br \/>\n4x Hot-Swap SATA (1TB)<br \/>\n4x Hot-Swap SAS (600GB)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4368 (M2)<\/td>\n<td>8GB (4x 2GB PC2-5300) <br \/>\nNon-Registered<\/td>\n<td>1x Xeon 3.0GHz Quad-Core or 2.8GHz Core Duo (Uses Intel Socket LGA-775)<\/td>\n<td>4x Simple-Swap SATA (1TB)<br \/>\n4x Hot-Swap SATA (1TB)<br \/>\n4x Hot-Swap SAS (600GB)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Notes:<\/td>\n<td>*Do not mix unbuffered (unregistered) and buffered (Registered) DIMMS!<br \/>\n **A 64-Bit OS or an OS with PAE support is required to address memory &gt;4GB.<\/td>\n<td>*These represent the FASTEST CPU upgrade options.
