Product Description
The System x iDataPlex dx360 M4 compute node is designed to optimize density and performance within typical data center infrastructure limits. The unique half-depth form factor is designed to help you improve compute density in your space-constrained data center while also improving system cooling and energy efficiency. With more computing power per watt and the latest Intel Xeon processors, you can reduce costs while maintaining speed and availability.

Config Notes

Install: System installed using PXE network install; the OS was installed using the UEFI boot loader and system configuration. Disk configuration: RAID 0. Kdump (SLE12SP4): the crash kernel reserved memory parameters were increased from the default to crashkernel=243M,high crashkernel=132M,low using YaST.
Serial/USB/VGA port(s): provided through a KVM connector console breakout cable which supplies one RS232 serial port, one VGA port and two USB ports. As noted in the Tested Configuration above, the system also has one internal USB port.
SR-IOV: System was tested using SR-IOV where a virtual network adapter was given to a SLES 12 guest. One of the Intel Ethernet Connection X722 for 10GbE SFP+ adapters was used in this testing.
