Compatibility

The System x3100 M5 systems contain licensed system programs that include set configuration, set features, and test programs. System BIOS (flash BIOS modified to IBM specifications) is loaded from a 'flash' EEPROM into system memory. This BIOS provides instructions and interfaces designed to support the standard features of the server and to maintain compatibility with many current software programs.

To view detailed information about IBM and non-IBM devices, adapters, software, and network operating systems supported with System x servers, visit

http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/

Contact your IBM representative, IBM Business Partner, or refer to the IBM Sales Manual for information on the compatibility of hardware and software for xSeries servers. The Sales Manual is updated periodically as new features and options are announced that support these servers.

Limitations

The open 5.25-inch bay supports removable media devices, such as tape backup devices. It does not support HDD options.
Wake on LAN is not supported if systems are improperly shut down.

Note: Regarding the use of SSDs, solid-state memory cells have an intrinsic, finite number of write cycles each cell can incur. As a result, each solid-state device has a maximum amount of write cycles to which it can be subjected, documented as total bytes written (TBD). IBM is not responsible for replacement of hardware that has reached the maximum guaranteed number of write cycles. This limit may be revealed as the device failing to respond to system-generated commands or becoming incapable of being written to. Additional information is available at

http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/x/options/storage/solidstate/index.html

Refer to the Software requirements section for operating system limitations.

Planning information

Customer responsibilities

Customer setup: The System x3100 M5 server is designated as customer setup. Customer setup instructions are shipped with systems.

Standard SATA/SAS configurations

The System x3100 M5 server uses the SATA interface for the optical drive.

Two mini SAS cable are used to attach up to eight SAS/SATA HDDs and one addition cable for the SATA optical disk drives (ODDs).

Supported memory options

4GB (1x4GB, 2Rx8, 1.35V) PC3L-12800 CL11 ECC DDR3 1600MHz LP UDIMM (00D5012)
8GB (1x8GB, 2Rx8, 1.35V) PC3L-12800 CL11 ECC DDR3 1600MHz LP UDIMM (00D5016)

Rack installations

The System x3100 M5 server can be converted to a rack-mounted unit by installing a Tower-to-Rack Kit. The 4U and 5U System x3100 M5 server can be installed in a 19-inch industry-standard rack such as:

IBM 25U Standard Rack
IBM 42U Standard Rack Extension
IBM 42U Standard Rack
If using a non-IBM rack, the cabinet must meet the EIA-310-D standards with a depth of at least 71 cm (28 in). Also, adequate space (approximately 6.7 cm (2.64 in) for the front bezel and 2.5 cm (1 in) for air flow) must be maintained from the slide assembly to the front door of the rack cabinet to allow sufficient space for the door to close and provide adequate air flow.

Cable orders

The dual Gigabit full duplex, Ethernet controller, standard with the server, is connected directly to a RJ-45 connector. The RJ-45 connector provides a 10/100/1000Base-T interface for connecting twisted-pair cable to the Ethernet network. Cabling is not included with the server. To connect the Ethernet controller to a repeater or switch, use a UTP cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. For 100/1000 Mbps operation, Category 5, or better, cabling must be used.

There are no additional cabling requirements, other than for system power, keyboard, mouse, and monitor connections.

Installability

The System x3100 M5 server requires about 30 minutes for installation. Installation includes unpacking, setting up, and powering on the system. Additional time is required to install an operating system, additional adapters, or features.

Security, auditability, and control

Security and auditability features include:

Power-on password (secured boot).
A mechanical lock allows you to lock the system cover to prevent unauthorized personnel access to internal components of the server.
Tie-down capability is available by using a common U bolt attached to the back frame.
Operation without a keyboard and display is supported after the server is configured with the appropriate network operating system. This minimizes the risk of unauthorized people tampering with the system software and configuration.

The customer is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and appropriate controls in application systems and communications facilities.

Attn: Dept JDJA/B203

Warranty period

5457: One year
Optional features: One year

Note: For configurations that support the RAID battery, the RAID battery will be warranted for 1 year effective on its Date of Installation. All other product warranty terms for the machine remain unchanged.

An IBM part or feature installed during the initial installation of an IBM machine is subject to a full warranty effective on the date of installation of the machine. An IBM part or feature which replaces a previously installed part or feature assumes the remainder of the warranty period for the replaced part or feature. An IBM part or feature added to a machine without replacing a previously installed part or feature is subject to a full warranty effective on its date of installation. Unless specified otherwise, the warranty period, type of warranty service, and service level of a part or feature is the same as the machine it is installed.

The following have been designated as consumables, supply items, or structural parts and therefore not covered by this warranty:

RAID battery
Blank filler
Cable-management arm
Side cover

Warranty service

If required, IBM provides repair or exchange service, depending on the type of warranty service specified below for the machine. IBM will attempt to resolve your problem over the telephone or electronically by access to an IBM website. Certain machines contain remote support capabilities for direct problem reporting, remote problem determination, and resolution with IBM. You must follow the problem determination and resolution procedures that IBM specifies. Following problem determination, if IBM determines On-site Service is required, scheduling of service will depend upon the time of your call, machine technology and redundancy, and availability of parts. Service levels are response-time objectives and are not guaranteed. The specified level of warranty service may not be available in all worldwide locations. Additional charges may apply outside IBM's normal service area. Contact your local IBM representative or your reseller for country- and location-specific information.

The type of service is Customer Replaceable Unit (for example, keyboard, mouse, speaker, memory, or hard disk drive) Service and On-site Service.

Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) Service

IBM provides a replacement CRU to you for you to install. CRU information and replacement instructions are shipped with your machine and are available from IBM at any time on your request. A CRU is designated as being either a Tier 1 (mandatory) or a Tier 2 (optional) CRU. Installation of Tier 1 CRUs, as specified in this announcement, is your responsibility. If IBM installs a Tier 1 CRU at your request, you will be charged for the installation. You may install a Tier 2 CRU yourself or request IBM to install it, at no additional charge, under the type of warranty service designated for your Machine.

Based upon availability, a CRU will be shipped for next-business-day (NBD) delivery. IBM specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CRU whether a defective CRU must be returned to IBM. When return is required, return instructions and a container are shipped with the replacement CRU, and you may be charged for the replacement CRU if IBM does not receive the defective CRU within 15 days of your receipt of the replacement.

The following parts or features have been designated as Tier 1 CRUs:

RAID batteries
CMOS batteries
Hard disk drive
Hot-swap fan
Hot-swap power supply
Memory DIMM
Memory expansion card
Optical drive
PCI adapter
PCI divider
Power cord
Service label
System label
Voltage regulator module
Operation panel
USB holder

The following parts or features have been designated as Tier 2 CRUs:

Service processor
Motherboard
430W Power Cage

On-site Service

At IBM's discretion you will receive CRU service or IBM or your reseller will repair the failing machine at your location and verify its operation. If required, On-site Repair is provided, 9 hours per day, Monday through Friday excluding holidays, NBD response. You must provide a suitable working area to allow disassembly and reassembly of the IBM machine. The area must be clean, well lit, and suitable for the purpose. On-site Service is not available in all countries, and some countries have kilometer or mileage limitations from an IBM service center. In those locations where On-site Service is not available, the normal in-country service delivery is used.

Call IBM at 1-800-IBM-SERV (426-7378) to assist with problem isolation for hardware to determine if warranty service is required. Telephone support may be subject to additional charges, even during the limited warranty period.

Calls must be received by 5:00 p.m. local time in order to qualify for NBD service.

International Warranty Service (IWS)

IWS is available in selected countries or regions.

The warranty service type and the service level provided in the servicing country may be different from that provided in the country in which the machine was purchased.

Under IWS, warranty service will be provided with the prevailing warranty service type and service level available for the IWS-eligible machine type in the servicing country, and the warranty period observed will be that of the country in which the machine was purchased.
