1 When referring to HDD or tape backup capacity, GB stands for one billion bytes.Total user capacity may vary depending on operating environments.

2 The Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment software, included aspart of ServerGuide software, may be used for boot, diagnostic, setup, restoration,installation, configuration, test, or disaster-recovery purposes only. Note: TheMicrosoft Windows Preinstallation Environment software contains a security featurethat will cause an end-user customer's system to reboot without prior notification tothe end-user customer after 24 hours of continuous use of the Microsoft WindowsPreinstallation Environment. During routine usage of ServerGuide, which does notusually require usage of the Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment softwarefor such an extended time period, this condition should not occur.

CompatibilityThe System x3200 M2 systems contain licensed system programs that include setconfiguration, set features, and test programs. System BIOS (flash BIOS modified toIBM specifications) is loaded from a "flash" EEPROM into system memory. This BIOSprovides instructions and interfaces designed to support the standard features of theserver 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 xSeries servers, visit


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

Limitations SATA and SAS drives cannot be intermixed on the same system. Mixed speed SAS HDDs (10K/15K) are not supported on same system. Wake on LAN is not supported if systems are improperly shut down. The open 5.25-inch bay supports removable media devices, such as tape backup

devices. Use the version of ServerGuide that is shipped with the system, or a later

version, to load software and drivers. Earlier versions of ServerGuide may not becompatible with the server.

If using a fixed power supply and a hot-swap SAS/SATA HDD, a 400-wattInterposer Cable is required.

Refer to the Software requirements section for operating system limitations.

Rack installationsThe System x3200 M2 server can be converted to a rack-mounted unit by installinga 5U x 20-inch Tower-to-Rack Kit. The 5U System x3200 M2 server can be installedin 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 adepth of at least 71 cm (28 in). Also, adequate space (approximately 2.5 cm (2in) for the front bezel and one inch for air flow) must be maintained from the slideassembly to the front door of the rack cabinet to allow sufficient space for the doorto close and provide adequate air flow.

Cable ordersThe gigabit full duplex, Ethernet controller, standard with the server, is connecteddirectly to an 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 notincluded 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.

InstallabilityThe System x3200 M2 system requires about 30 minutes for installation. Installationincludes unpacking, setting up, and powering on the system. Additional time isrequired to install an operating system, additional adapters, or features.

PackagingOne box containing:

System unit carton: system unit



System unit power cord Country kit:

Publications/CD bag:-- System x3200 M2 Installation Guide-- Documentation CD-- Diagnostics CD-- Safety pointer publication-- Contents information flyer-- ServerGuide and IBM Director CDs

The System x3200 M2 system is shipped as a single package. The country kit iscontained inside the top portion of the system unit carton.

SuppliesNone

Security, auditability, and control

Security and auditability features include:

A power-on password (secured boot) can be used. A mechanical lock allows the user to lock the system cover to prevent

unauthorized personnel access to internal components of the server. Selectable boot sequence prevents unauthorized installation of software or

removal of data from the diskette drive. Tie-down capability is available by using a common U bolt attached to the back

frame. Operation without a keyboard or display is supported after the server is configured

with the appropriate network operating system. This reduces the risk ofunauthorized people tampering with the system software and configuration.

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

You may install a Tier 2CRU yourself or request IBM to install it, at no additional charge, under the type ofwarranty service specified below, On-site Service.

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 defectiveCRU must be returned to IBM. When return is required, return instructions and acontainer are shipped with the replacement CRU, and you may be charged for thereplacement CRU if IBM does not receive the defective CRU within 15 days of yourreceipt of the replacement.

The following have been designated as a Tier 1 CRU:

Battery Blank filler Cable-management arm Hard disk drive Hot-swap fan Hot-swap power supply Lift handle kit Memory DIMM Memory expansion card Optical drive PCI adapter PCI divider Power cord Service label Service processor System label Top cover Voltage regulator module

On-site Service



This provides On-site Repair, 9 hours per day, Monday through Friday excludingholidays, NBD response. IBM or your reseller will repair the failing machine at yourlocation and verify its operation. You must provide a suitable working area to allowdisassembly 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, andsome countries have kilometer or mileage limitations from an IBM service center. Inthose locations where On-site Service is not available, the normal in-county servicedelivery is used.

Call IBM at 1-800-IBM-SERV (426-7378) to assist with problem isolation forhardware to determine if warranty service is required. Telephone support may besubject 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 ServiceInternational Warranty Service (IWS) is available in selected countries or regions.

The warranty service type and the service level provided in the servicing countrymay be different from that provided in the country in which the machine waspurchased.

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