Compatibility
The System x3200 M2 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 xSeries servers, visit
Contact your IBM representative or 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
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 be
compatible with the server.
If using a fixed power supply and a hot-swap SAS/SATA HDD, a 400-watt
Interposer Cable is required.
Refer to the Software requirements section for operating system limitations.
Planning information
Customer responsibilities
Customer setup
109-272
The System x3200 M2 server is designated as customer setup. Customer setup
instructions are shipped with systems.
Standard SATA configurations
The System x3200 M2 server uses the SATA interface for the optical drive.
Six single-drop SATA cables are used to attach up to four SATA HDDs and two SATA
Optical Disk Drives (ODDs).
Standard SAS configurations
System x3200 M2 models use a paddle board with the LSI 1064E controller.
Supported memory options
1 GB (2X512MB) PC2-6400 CL6 ECC DDR2 800MHz DIMM Kit (46C7443)

4 GB (2X2GB) PC2-5300 CL5 ECC DDR2 SDRAM DIMM Kit (41Y2732)
Rack installations
The System x3200 M2 server can be converted to a rack-mounted unit by installing
a 5U x 20-inch Tower-to-Rack Kit. The 5U System x3200 M2 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 2.5 cm (2
in) for the front bezel and one inch 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 gigabit full duplex, Ethernet controller, standard with the server, is connected
directly 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 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 x3200 M2 system 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.
Packaging
One box containing:
System unit carton: system unit
109-272
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 is
contained inside the top portion of the system unit carton.
Supplies
None
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 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.
