Turbo Boost Technology dynamically turns off unused processor cores and increases the clock speed of the cores in use, by up to two model frequencies. For example, with three cores active, a 2.26GHz processor can run the cores at 2.4GHz. With only one or two cores active, the same processor can run those cores at 2.53GHz. Similarly, a 2.93GHz processor can run at 3.06GHz or even 3.33GHz. When the cores are needed again, they are dynamically

DIMMs typically have 1, 2 or 4 memory ranks, as indicated by their size designation. • A typical memory DIMM description is 2GB 4Rx8 DIMM • The 4R designator is the rank count for this particular DIMM (R for rank = 4) • The x8 designator is the data width of the rank It is important to ensu

A license key is required to enable the iSCSI and RDMA features. Jumbo Frames—those larger than the standard frame (packet) size of 1,500 bytes—can be more efficient, dramatically increasing network performance and reducing server CPU overhead. TOE helps improve overall system performance by offloading TCP/IP protocol

Rack Cable Management and KVM Console Switching IBM Advanced Cabling Technology (ACT) is an optional feature that offers many advantages over standard KVM cabling across the entire System x product line. So now you can interconnect all of your servers with one smart cabling architecture. ACT cabling eliminates the need for one-to-one direct connections between each server and a KVM switch by using a daisy-chain approach. The snarl of cab
