System x206m    

Affordable design features let your customers configure the uniprocessor IBM® xSeries® 206m to fit their budgets. The x206m, which incorporates IBM Xtended Design Architecture™ features, offers the latest single- and dual-core Intel® Pentium® processors. The single-core Pentium 4 processor is designed with 1MB or 2MB (model-specific) of L2 cache, a leading-edge 800MHz front-side bus (FSB), 64-bit extensions (EM64T) and Hyper-Threading Technology, to help provide customers with the computing power they require to match their business needs and growth. The Intel Pentium D processor provides two cores with matching 1MB L2 or 2MB L2 caches,
for increased performance. The x206m supports up to 8GB of leading-edge 533MHz PC2-4200 ECC (Error Checking and Correcting) double data rate II (DDR2) memory (in 4 DIMM slots) for high performance and reliability. An integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller is standard, providing high-speed data transfers and saving a valuable adapter slot.

Memory Upgrades
A maximum of 8GB of memory is supported via 4 DIMM slots.

A single DIMM configuration is valid if installed in socket DIMM 1. Otherwise, DIMMs must be configured in matched pairs starting with DIMM sockets 1 and 3, then 2 and 4. Single DIMM models require the standard DIMM either matched or removed.

ll models offer impressive features at an equally impressive price, including 1.2TB of high-performance hot-swap redundant Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) storage or 1TB of fixed, simple-swap or hot-swap redundant SATA storage, depending on the model. This offers customers a number of levels of availability, storage capacity and price. The integrated IBM ServeRAIDâ„¢-8e supports RAID-0 data striping and RAID-1 disk mirroring on either SAS or SATA drives at no additional cost to your customer. Additional RAID levels are supported via an optional IBM ServeRAID SAS or SATA controller. For high-performance I/O. Mixing of SAS and SATA drives is not supported.
