Q) What is the difference between x3610 and x3650?

A) x3610 is in the Oriental series server One product, like the x3650, is a 2-way 2U rack server.

Compared with the x3650, the x3610 is more streamlined and cheaper. It is a power-saving, economical and practical server platform tailored for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The x3610 uses a 600W power supply, which is more energy efficient than the x3650 (835W). Compared with the x3650, the x3610 does not support RSAII cards and does not support optical path diagnosis. Therefore, if you need strong management functions, you still need to select x3650. .

Q) Can x3610 do RAID?

A) Yes. The x3610 integrates the LSI 1068E controller and supports RAID-0, -1, and -1E. RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, 60 can be supported if the option ServeRAID-MR10il (P/N 44E8767) is added.

Q) Can the x3610 plug in a SATA hard drive? Can I plug in a 2.5-inch hard drive? How much hard drive capacity is supported?

A) The x3610 provides six hot-swappable 3.5-inch hard drive slots. Can support SAS or SATA hot swap hard drives, but not mixed.

If you install a SATA hot-swappable hard drive, the maximum capacity is 750GBx6;

If you install a SAS hot-swappable hard drive, the maximum capacity is 300GBx6.

Q) How many memory slots does the x3610 have? What are the requirements for extended memory?

A) The x3610 has a total of 6 memory slots. Memory has two modes of operation, non-interleaved and interleaved.

If it is non-interleaved mode, add memory in the following order:

If it is interleaved mode, add memory in the following order:

Q) Does the x3610 have a ps/2 keyboard and mouse interface? Is there a serial port and a parallel port?

A) The x3610 has a PS/2 keyboard and mouse interface and has a serial port. The X3610 has no parallel port.

Q) Does the x3610 support the built-in tape drive?

A) Not supported. Due to space constraints, the x3610 cannot install an internal tape drive.

Q) Does the x3610 support external tape drives?

A) As of the date of publication of this document, no tape drive options have been provided. Please keep an eye on the website information: http://Www.3.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/country_sp/x3610.html

Q) Does the x3610 have a PCI-X expansion slot? Is there a PCI expansion slot?

A) The X3610 does not have an expansion slot for PCI-X. But there is an expansion slot for PCI. The x3610 has two low-pro?le, PCI-Express x8 expansion slots, two low-pro?le, 32-bit/33MHz PCI (5v) slots. It is impossible to install a 5v PCI card on the x3650.

Q) Is the x3610 power supply redundant?

A) The x3610 comes standard with a 600W fixed power supply and up to 2 power supplies for redundancy.

Q) What is the x3610 optical drive? Is there a floppy drive?

A) The x3650 is equipped with a SATA interface with a half-height 16X6 DVD-ROM; without a floppy drive, you can use a USB external connection. Floppy drive.
