IBM Flex System x440 Compute Node 4
Low-voltage Intel Xeon processors draw less energy to satisfy demands of power and thermally
constrained data centers and telecommunication environments.
Low-voltage 1.35 V DDR3 memory RDIMMs consume 15% less energy than 1.5 V DDR3 RDIMMs.
SSDs consume as much as 80% less power than traditional spinning 2.5-inch HDDs.
The x440 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.
