  • Page 1 Figure 1. The IBM System x3200 M3 Did you know? The System x3200 M3 features easy installation and management with a rich set of options for hard disk drives and memory. The efficient design helps to save energy and provide a better work environment with less heat and noise.

  • Page 2: Key Features

    From network infrastructure to distributed applications to front-end workloads, the x3200 M3 is designed to meet a wide range of business needs and help you adapt to changing business requirements.
  • Page 3 Availability and serviceability The System x3200 M3 provides many features to simplify serviceability and increase system uptime: The x3200 M3 servers offer ECC memory protection. This can help reduce downtime caused by  memory errors.
  • Page 4 Energy-efficient components, including low-voltage transistors and voltage regulator devices, and  power supplies. The x3200 M3 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.
