Lenovo Press Product Guide
The System x3755 M3 is a four-socket AMD Opteron processor-based server that is optimized for
outstanding density and cost. It provides flexibility and scalability while offering multiple levels of
price/performance. With features such as high performance AMD Opteron 6300 series processors, up to
32 available DIMM sockets with up to 512 GB of memory , and robust I/O, the System x3755 M3 provides
four-socket performance at an entry-level price.
The x3755 M3 is an ideal server for business workloads including database, virtualization, Java, and
enterprise applications such as ERP. The increased processor density helps reduce networking
complexity and cost for high-performance computing environments, and the available 32 TB of internal
storage facilitates data-intensive applications like business intelligence.
Figure 1 shows the System x3755 M3.

Did you know?
The System x3755 M3 fits into 2U of standard rack space, and it can be used as a very affordable
dual-socket 2U rack platform with the ability to grow to four sockets in the same space, or as a very dense
space-optimized and price/performance-optimized four-socket enterprise-class server for business critical
corporate applications. High availability, manageability, and performance features include Chipkill
memory, Memory Sparing, Light Path Diagnostics, Predictive Failure Analysis, TCP Offload Engine
(TOE), and integrated baseboard management controller (iBMC) with activated built-in remote presence
feature.
