1U rack server for small workloads
The IBM x3250 M3 425262U is a 1U rack server built around a single Xeon X3460 four-core processor running at 2.8GHz. It ships with 2GB of DDR3 memory and supports up to 24GB total. Dual integrated gigabit LAN ports provide basic network connectivity. The ATI ES1000 graphics controller with 16MB video memory handles console output only.
Check memory slots and rail depth
Verify how many DIMM slots your chassis populates before adding DDR3 modules to reach the 24GB maximum. Confirm the rack cabinet accepts a 1U unit measuring 22.0 inches deep and 17.32 inches wide. Ensure the two onboard 10/100/1000 LAN ports match your switch cabling plan. The system supports a maximum of one processor, so no second CPU can be added later.
Thermals noise and power in normal use
A 1U form factor relies on high-speed internal fans to cool the Xeon X3460 and memory within the 1.75-inch height. Expect noticeable fan noise in a quiet office but typical levels for a server room. The 28.0-lb weight requires secure rail mounting. Power draw scales with processor load and any installed drives; the integrated dual gigabit controller adds minimal overhead.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the 425262U and what must I buy separately?
The 1U rack server ships with the Xeon X3460 processor, 2GB DDR3 memory, ATI ES1000 graphics with 16MB video memory and dual integrated Gigabit LAN ports; drives, rails, additional memory up to 24GB and an operating system are not included.
Should I choose the 2GB installed configuration or plan to reach the 24GB DDR3 maximum?
The 2GB factory fit suits basic install and test work; production workloads that need more headroom should add DDR3 modules until the 24GB ceiling is reached.
What does the Xeon X3460 2.8GHz 4-core CPU deliver in this 1U chassis?
Four cores at 2.8GHz with 8MB L2 cache provide consistent single-socket performance for web serving, file sharing and light virtualization within the 28.0 lb, 1.75" high form factor.
