IBM 90Y4784 System Board (Motherboard) for System X3550 M3 / X3650 M3 Series System

Product Description

The IBM 90Y4784 System Board is the central component for the IBM System X3550 M3 and X3650 M3 servers, which are designed for demanding enterprise environments. This motherboard is engineered to house and connect the core components, including the processors, memory, and essential I/O subsystems. It specifically supports the Intel Xeon 5600 series processors, known for their enhanced performance, efficiency, and advanced features suitable for virtualization, high-performance computing, and critical business applications. Memory support is provided for DDR3 ECC Registered DIMMs, a standard for enterprise servers that ensures data integrity through error correction and allows for substantial memory configurations. The system board features multiple DIMM slots, enabling administrators to scale memory capacity to meet the requirements of memory-intensive workloads and large datasets. This robust memory subsystem is crucial for maintaining system stability and performance under heavy load. In addition to CPU and memory support, the 90Y4784 integrates various controllers for storage, networking, and management. It provides the necessary expansion slots, typically PCIe, for adding specialized hardware like Fibre Channel adapters or high-speed network interfaces. Designed for the rack-mount form factor, this system board ensures efficient integration and cooling within the IBM System x chassis, making it a foundational element for reliable and high-performance server operations.
