supported. Mixing processor speeds and memory speeds will result in the system
running at the lower of rated speeds.
• The Flex System x240 Compute Node is supported only in the IBM Flex System
Enterprise Chassis.
• One mezzanine expansion card may can be installed on the Flex System x240
Compute Node with a LOM base, and two mezzanine cards can be installed on
the LOM-less base.
• Mezzanine expansion cards installed in the Flex System x240 Compute Node
require a switch module in the Flex System Enterprise Chassis of the same
connectivity type.
• Regarding the use of solid-state disk drives, solid-state memory cells have an
intrinsic, finite number of write cycles that each cell can incur. As a result, each
solid-state device has a maximum amount of write cycles to which it can be
subjected, documented as Total Bytes Written (TBW). IBM is not responsible for
replacement of hardware that has reached the maximum guaranteed number
of write cycles. This limit may be revealed as the device failing to respond
to system-generated commands or becoming incapable of being written to.
