IBM Redbooks Product Guide
The IBM® System x® iDataPlex® dx360 M4 compute node is designed to optimize density and
performance within typical data center infrastructure limits. The unique half-depth form factor is designed
to help you improve compute density in your space-constrained data center while also improving system
cooling and energy efficiency. With more computing power per watt and the latest Intel Xeon processors,
you can reduce costs while maintaining speed and availability.
Suggested use: Web 2.0, HPC clusters and large corporate data processing.

IBM System x iDataPlex is an innovative integrated data center solution that maximizes performance and
optimizes energy and space efficiencies.
iDataPlex servers such as the dx360 M4 are modular, highly dense systems, designed around a highly
flexible architecture, for companies running large scale-out data centers that need energy efficiency,
optimized cooling, extreme scalability, high density at the data center level, and high performance at an
affordable price. iDataPlex solutions can help cost-effectively scale processing power to meet even the
most demanding Web 2.0 and high-performance computing workloads.
The iDataPlex design is the next-generation data center solution for customers finding limitations in their
scale-out computing environments. By delivering customized solutions that help reduce overall data
center costs, IBM addresses the business growth challenges in the massive scale-out marketplace. The
iDataPlex solution incorporates innovative ways to integrate x86-based processing performance at the
node, rack, and data center levels. The iDataPlex solution provides customers with outstanding energy
and cooling efficiency, multi-rack level manageability, complete flexibility in configuration, and minimal
deployment effort.
A typical iDataPlex solution consists of multiple fully populated rack installations. The groundbreaking
iDataPlex solution offers increased density in a new rack design. It uses the dimensions of a standard
42U enterprise rack but can hold 100U of equipment, populated with up to 84 servers, plus sixteen 1U
vertical slots for switches, appliances, and power distribution units (PDUs). This added density addresses
the major problems that prevent most data centers today from reaching their full capacity: insufficient
electrical power and excess heat.
The energy-efficient design of the iDataPlex servers and chassis can significantly reduce the incoming
energy requirement compared with standard 1U servers. In addition, the optional liquid-cooled IBM Rear
Door Heat eXchanger mounted to the back of the rack can remove 100% of the heat generated within the
rack, drawing it from the data center before it exits the rack. It can even go beyond that, to the point of
helping to cool the data center itself and reducing the need for Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC)
units. This allows racks to be positioned much closer together, eliminating the need for hot aisles between
rows of fully populated racks.
With the iDataPlex chassis design, air needs to travel only 18 inches front to back, rather than the 30 plus
inches of a typical enterprise server. This shallow depth is part of the reason that the cooling efficiency of
iDataPlex servers is so high—shorter distance means better airflow. In addition, the new design uses four
large 80 mm fans per 2U chassis for more efficiency and lower noise than the eight small 40 mm fans
used in standard 1U servers. The increased air pressure resulting from the shorter distance through the
rack and the larger fans makes for one of the most efficient air-cooled solutions on the market.
Unlike most conventional racks, which are often left largely empty due to power and cooling limitations,
the iDataPlex Rack can be fully populated, while removing all rack heat from the data center (up to
100,000 BTUs or 30 kW), using the Rear Door Heat eXchanger. In addition, iDataPlex chassis uses
highly efficient (80 PLUS Platinum) power supplies, reducing energy draw and waste heat further.

The dx360 M4 offers numerous features to boost performance, improve scalability, and reduce costs:
The Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family improves productivity by offering superior system
z
performance with 8-core processors and up to 2.7 GHz core speeds, up to 20 MB of L3 cache, and
QPI interconnect links of up to 8 GT/s.
Up to two processors, 16 cores, and 32 threads maximize the concurrent execution of multi-threaded
z
applications.
IBM System x iDataPlex dx360 M4 3
Intelligent and adaptive system performance with Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows CPU cores
z
to run at maximum speeds during peak workloads by temporarily going beyond processor TDP.
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology boosts performance for multi-threaded applications by enabling
z
simultaneous multi-threading within each processor core, up to two threads per core.
Intel Virtualization Technology integrates hardware-level virtualization hooks that allow operating
z
system vendors to better utilize the hardware for virtualization workloads.
Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVT) significantly improve floating point performance for
z
compute-intensive technical and scientific applications compared to Intel Xeon 5600 series
processors.
Sixteen DIMMs of registered 1600 MHz DDR3 ECC memory provide speed, high availability, and a
z
memory capacity of up to 256 GB.
Theoretical maximum memory bandwidth of the Intel Xeon processor E5 family is 51.6 GBps, which is
z
60% more than in the previous generation of Intel Xeon processors.
The use of solid-state drives (SSDs) instead of or along with traditional spinning drives (HDDs) can
z
significantly improve I/O performance. An SSD can support up to 100 times more I/O operations per
second (IOPS) than a typical HDD.
PCI Express 3.0 I/O expansion capabilities that improve the theoretical maximum bandwidth by 60%
z
(8 GT/s per link) compared with the previous generation of PCI Express 2.0.
Support for 10 Gb Ethernet and FDR10 mezzanine cards that offer network performance without
z
consuming a PCIe slot.
With Intel Integrated I/O Technology, the PCI Express 3.0 controller is integrated into the Intel Xeon
z
processor E5 family. This helps to dramatically reduce I/O latency and increase overall system
performance.
Four USB 2.0 front-mounted ports for connectivity to external flash drives, optical drives, tape drives,
z
and other USB devices.

Powerful systems management features simplify local and remote management of the dx360 M4:
The server includes an Integrated Management Module 2 (IMM2) to monitor server availability and
z
perform remote management.
Integrated industry-standard Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) enables improved setup,
z
configuration, and updates, and simplifies error handling.
Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2 support enables advanced cryptographic functionality,
z

IBM Systems Director is included for proactive systems management. It offers comprehensive
z
systems management tools that help to increase up-time, reduce costs, and improve productivity
through advanced server management capabilities.
Intel Execute Disable Bit functionality can help prevent certain classes of malicious buffer overflow
z
attacks when combined with a supporting operating system.
Intel Trusted Execution Technology provides enhanced security through hardware-based resistance
z
to malicious software attacks, allowing the application to run in its own isolated space protected from
all other software running on a system.
