Please read for all new x235 8671xx models
New models of our Xeon DP systems are offered due to memory technology changes in capacity and density. To maintain adequate supply through 2004, IBM xSeries is making this transition on 256 MB memory DIMMs â€" transitioning models to a 256-Mb-based component. Chipkillâ„¢ will no longer be supported on 256 MB DIMMs. The previously offered Chipkill feature on the 256 MB memory DIMMs will be available only on a limited basis, via special bid. Chipkill requires all 512MB or higher x4 DIMMs to be installed

ServerRAID Adapters: The dual-channel, Ultra320 integrated controller supports both  Ultra320 HDDs, but the entire SCSI bus will default to the slower rate (MB/second) if HDDs of different technologies are mixed on the same bus. The LSI chipset allows for two HDDs to be allocated for mirroring if a RAID adapter is not installed. One additional HDD may be designated as a hot-spare for HDDs configured in the onboard mirror. Mirrored and hot-spare HDDs must be matched.

Note 2.ServeRAID-6M and ServeRAID-4Lx installations in slots 3-5 on hot-swap models for internal HDDs, require cable option  409928

Hot-Swap Drive Expansion:  Upgrades system to support 3 hot-swap drive bays on separate channel System can support 9 drives 6 on one channel and 3 on second channel.

Hot-Swap 80pin (U320) 10K : hot-swap models are cabled internally with a single-drop, nonterminated 16-bit wide Ultra320 SCSI cable. One end is connected to the internal 68-pin connector of channel A of the integrated Ultra320 SCSI controller and the other end to the hot-swap backplane, which provides termination for the SCSI bus. The X235 can support 9 Drives with optional Drive expansion Kit. The Kit will use the two available 5.25 drive bays. 374893
