Outstanding uptime
With redundant hot-swap fans, disks and power supplies, the x3650 M4
provides a resilient architecture ideal for business-critical applications.
Predictive Failure Analysis and light path diagnostics proactively monitor
the system’s sub-components and provide advanced warning on power
supplies, fans, VRMs, disks, processors and memory. Redundant
hot-swap components make it easy to replace failures without taking
your system down. Light path diagnostics displays a visible warning
light indicator on a failing component, allowing time for component
replacement prior to failure and facilitating high availability.

New management features

The Integrated Management Module 2 (IMM2) and Unified Extensible
Firmware Interface (UEFI) tools give the x3650 M4 a consistent
system-level code stack for superior setup, configuration and ease of
use. Optional Feature on Demand (FoD) remote presence provides the
ability to manage and monitor from anywhere. Powerful and easy-to-use
tools can help you manage both physical and virtual resources.
