Key features

The single-socket IBM System x3250 M3, incorporating IBM X-Architecture features, is an affordable, single-socket rack-mount server that offers more performance, configuration flexibility and availability features than many other servers in its class. From network infrastructure to distributed applications to front-end workloads, the x3250 M3 is designed to meet a wide range of business needs and help you adapt to changing business requirements.

Performance









The x3200 M3 offers numerous features to boost performance and reduce costs:

Supports a single processor, including the quad-core Intel® Xeon® 3400 Series processor, designed with fast 1333 MHz memory access and 8 MB of L3 cache, to help provide the computing power you need to match your business needs and growth.

Six DIMMs of registered 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC memory provide speed, high availability. Supports up to 32 GB of memory with four 8GB DIMMs.

High-performance 6 Gbps SAS RAID controllers and 15K RPM 6 Gbps SAS disk drives in a variety of capacities to suit your local storage requirements.

The use of solid-state drives (SSDs) instead of or along with traditional spinning drives (HDDs) can significantly improve I/O performance. An SSD can support 20,000 I/O operations per second (IOPS) whereas a typical HDD handles fewer than 500 IOPS.

Flexibility and scalability











The x3250 M3 has the ability to grow with your application requirements with these features:

Space-saving 1U rack design.

A choice of 2-core or 4-core processors with clock rates up to 3.06 GHz.

Six DIMM sockets allowing memory expansion of up to 48 GB.

Seven USB 2.0 ports available - two front, four rear, and one internal for an embedded hypervisor.

Storage bay flexibility: Up to two 3.5" simple-swap SATA or hot-swap SAS/SATA HDDs, or up to four

2.5" hot-swap SAS/SATA HDDs or SSDs. Additional internal optical drive bay.

Direct-attach SAS storage with the EXP2512 and EXP2524 storage enclosures is supported. IBM

System Storage servers, including network-attached storage (NAS), and iSCSI or Fibre

Channel-attached storage, can also be attached.

Two PCI Express 2.0 (PCIe 2.0) or PCI-X I/O slots for increased network or storage connectivity. One slot dedicated to the optional RAID controller.

Manageability and security

Powerful systems management features simplify local and remote management of the x3250 M3:

The x3250 M3 includes an Integrated Management Module (IMM) to monitor server availability, perform Predictive Failure Analysis, and trigger IBM Systems Director alerts.

An optional Virtual Media Key enables additional systems management capabilities, including web-based out-of-band remote control (keyboard video and mouse), remote optical drive support,

Windows “blue screen” error capture, and support for LDAP and SSL protocols.

Text Console Redirection support allows the administrator to remotely view server text messages over Serial or LAN connections.
















Integrated industry-standard Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) next-generation BIOS.

New capabilities include:

Human readable event logs — no more beep codes.

Complete out-of-band coverage by the Advance Settings Utility to simplify remote setup.

A complete setup solution, allowing adapter configuration functions to be moved into UEFI.

Integrated IPMI 2.0 support alerts IBM Systems Director to anomalous environmental factors, such as voltage and thermal conditions. It also supports highly secure remote power control using data encryption.

IBM Systems Director is included for proactive systems management. IBM Systems Director comes with a portfolio of tools, including IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager, IBM Service and

Support Manager, and others. IBM Systems Director also offers extended systems management tools for additional server management and increased availability. When a problem is encountered, IBM

Systems Director can issue administrator alerts via email, pager, and other methods.

IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager provides advanced power management features with actual real-time energy monitoring, reporting, and capping features.

Availability and serviceability



The System x3250 M3 provides many features to simplify serviceability and increase system uptime:

The server offers ECC memory protection. This can help reduce downtime caused by memory errors.



Toolless cover removal provides easy access to upgrades and serviceable parts, such as HDDs and memory. Similarly, the Virtual Media Key and the ServeRAID controller can be installed and replaced without tools. This means less time (and therefore less money) spent servicing the x3200 M3.







Toolless slides ship with the server, together with a cable management arm (CMA), that allows the rack server to easily slide into place.

Solid-state drives (SSDs) offer significantly better reliability than traditional mechanical HDDs for greater uptime.

The three-year (parts and labor) limited onsite warranty provides peace of mind and greater investment protection than a one-year warranty does.

Energy efficiency



The System x3250 M3 has an energy-efficient design with features including the following:

Low-voltage processors draw less energy and produce less waste heat than high-voltage processors, thus helping to reduce data center energy costs. The available dual-core Xeon L3406 processor use only 30 W.





Optional solid-state drives (SSDs) use only 2 W of power per drive, compared to 9 - 10 W for 2.5-inch

HDDs. This is as much as 80% less power than a 2.5-inch HDD would use, with a corresponding reduction in heat output that further improves the overall bottom line.

Energy-efficient components, including low-voltage transistors and voltage regulator devices, and power supplies.



The server uses hexagonal ventilation holes in the chassis. Hexagonal holes can be grouped more densely than round holes, providing more efficient airflow through the system chassis. This ultimately results in reduced operational costs.

Remote management









The server contains IBM Integrated Management Module (IMM), which provides advanced service-processor control, monitoring, and alerting functions. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, the IMM lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem, records the error in the event log, and alerts you to the problem. Optionally, the IMM also provides a virtual presence capability for remote server management capabilities.

The IMM provides remote server management through industry-standard interfaces:

Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Version 2.0

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Version 3

Common Information Model (CIM)

Web browser


The optional virtual media key is required to enable the remote presence and blue-screen capture features. The remote presence feature provides the following functions:







Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600x1200 at 75 Hz, regardless of the system state

Remotely accessing the server, using the keyboard and mouse from a remote client

Mapping the CD or DVD drive, diskette drive, and USB flash drive on a remote client, and mapping

ISO and diskette image files as virtual drives that are available for use by the server

Uploading a diskette image to the IMM memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive



The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM restarts the server when the IMM detects an operating-system hang condition. A system administrator can use the blue-screen capture to assist in determining the cause of the hang condition. The following table lists the remote management option.
