IBM System x3250 M5 User Manual

IBM System x3250 M5 4
Intel Intelligent Power Capability powers individual processor elements on and off as needed, to

reduce power draw.
Low-voltage Intel Xeon processors draw less energy to satisfy the demands of power and thermally

constrained data centers and telecommunication environments.
Low-voltage 1.35 V DDR3 memory UDIMMs consume up to 19% less energy compared to 1.5 V

DDR3 UDIMMs.
Solid-state drives may consume as much as 80% less power than traditional spinning 2.5-inch HDDs.

The server uses hexagonal ventilation holes, a part of IBM Calibrated Vectored Cooling™ technology. 
Hexagonal holes can be grouped more densely than round holes, providing more efficient airflow
through the system.
