Did you know?
The System x3100 M5 server is a compact, cost-effective, single-processor tower or rack-mountable
server that has been optimized to provide outstanding availability, manageability, and performance
features to small-to-medium-sized businesses, retail stores, or distributed enterprises. It supports the Intel
Xeon E3-1200 v3 "Haswell" family of processors for applications that require performance and stability,
and Core i3, Pentium, and Celeron processors for applications that require lower cost.
The system includes features that are not typically seen in this class of system, such as standard,
embedded RAID 0 and RAID 1, remote control capabilities even when the machine is powered off, and
Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) on processor and memory. Some models also support hot-swap
redundant power supplies and hot-swap disk drives.
