Rack installations
System x3620 M3 2U rack-drawer models are designed to be installed in a 19-
inch rack cabinet designed for 711.1 mm (28 in) deep devices, such as the
NetBAY42U ER and NetBAY42U SR. Installation into some of the older Netfinity®
racks (9306900, 9306910, 9306200) will require a rack extension kit for proper
cable bend radius and cooling.
If a System x3620 M3 server is mounted in a non-IBM rack, the rack must satisfy
the following specifications:
• The rack must meet EIA-310-D standards for mounting flanges and hole
locations.
• The front to rear distance of the mounting flanges must be 635 - 788 mm (25 -
31 in).
• The thickness of the mounting flanges must be 1.9 - 3.3 mm (0.08 and 0.13 in).
• The mounting flanges must have either 7.1 mm (0.28 in) diameter holes or 9.6
mm (0.38 in) square holes on the standard EIA hole spacing.
• The rack must have a minimum depth of 50 mm (1.97 in) between the front
mounting flange and inside of the front door for appropriate cooling.
• The rack must have a minimum depth of 166 mm (6.53 in) between the rear
mounting flange and inside of the rear door to install the server and provide
cable management space.
• The minimum side-to-side clearance in the rack between the front and rear
mounting flanges must be 467 mm (18.2 in) to accommodate the width of the
server and the slide mounting brackets.
• The minimum side-to-side clearance in the rack between each door and the
mounting flanges must be 484 mm (19.1 in) to accommodate the slide mounting
brackets.
• The rack must include perforated front and rear doors and must not prevent the
flow of cool air into or out of the rack.
• The weight-handling capacity of the rack must be able to support the maximum
rack configuration, including all servers, external cables, power distribution units,
and so on.
• The rack must provide proper stabilization so that the rack does not become
unstable when servers are pulled out for service.
Processor options
The System x3620 M3 server is an Intel Xeon processor system that supports
internal processing speeds of up to 3.20 GHz and processing operations to memory
up to 1333 MHz. It contains an integrated, full-speed 12 MB advanced transfer
L2 cache. This dual-socket system supports a second processor with the same
QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) link speed, Integrated Memory Controller frequency,
core frequency, power segment, internal cache size and type of processor as the
first.
Power considerations
The System x3620 M3 server includes a standard 460-watt power supply. This
power supply is capable of providing sufficient power to run the server fully
configured with supported devices.
Cable orders
The dual 10/100/1000 Mbps, full-duplex, Ethernet PCI controllers, standard with the
System x3620 M3 server, are connected directly to independent RJ-45 connectors.
The RJ-45 connectors provide a 10/100/1000 Base-T interface (either at half- or
full-duplex) for connecting twisted-pair cable to the Ethernet network. Cabling
