Memory

Lenovo DDR4 memory is compatibility tested and tuned for optimal System x performance and reliability. Lenovo DDR4 memory has a unique signature programmed into the DIMM, which enables System x servers to verify whether the memory installed is qualified and supported. From a service and support standpoint, Lenovo memory automatically assumes the system warranty, and Lenovo provides service and support worldwide.

The System x3250 M6 server has four DIMM slots, and it supports DDR4 UDIMMs with ECC memory protection. The processor has two memory channels and supports two DIMMs per channel.

The following rules apply when selecting the memory configuration:

  • The server supports memory configurations with 1, 2, 3, or 4 UDIMMs.
  • The server supports up to 2133 MHz memory speeds for one DIMM per channel and two DIMMs per channel configurations, provided that the processors support this memory speed (see Processors for details).

The following table summarizes memory speeds and capacities that are supported by the System x3250 M6 server.

Integrated Management Module 2.1

The System x3250 M6 server contains an Integrated Management Module II (IMM2.1), which provides advanced service-processor control, monitoring, and an alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, the IMM2.1 lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem, records the error in the event log, and alerts you to the problem. Optionally, the IMM2.1 also provides a virtual presence capability for remote server management capabilities.

The IMM2.1 provides remote server management through industry-standard interfaces:

  • Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Version 2.0
  • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Version 3
  • Common Information Model (CIM)
  • Web browser

The optional Integrated Management Module Advanced Upgrade is required to enable the remote presence and blue-screen capture features. The remote presence feature provides the following functions:

  • Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600x1200 at 75 Hz with up to 23 bits per pixel
  • Remotely accessing the server using the keyboard and mouse from a remote client
  • Mapping the CD or DVD drive, diskette drive, and USB flash drive on a remote client, and mapping ISO and diskette image files as virtual drives that are available for use by the server
  • Uploading a diskette image to the IMM memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive

The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM2.1 restarts the server when the IMM2.1 detects an operating system hang condition. A system administrator can use the blue-screen capture to help determine the cause of the hang condition. The following table lists the remote management option.
