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. <\/p>\n<p>Contact us if you need more information or integration assistance for your IBM x3250 Server.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Type<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Max Memory<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Max # CPUs &amp;
