Similarly,
hot-swap/redundant HDDs, fan modules
and
power supplies
, as well as
online
mirrored
memory, mean greater system uptime while these components are being serviced.
•
New
toolless slides
ship with the server, together with a
Cable Management Arm (CMA)
,
that allows the rack server to easily slide into place
•
IBM
Thermal Diagnostics
allows the administrator to evaluate thermal data on the server
without taking the hardware offline. This can provide greater server uptime.
•
The
drop-down light path diagnostics panel
and individual light path LEDs quickly lead the
technician to failed (or failing) components. This simplifies servicing, speeds up problem
resolution and helps improve network availability.
•
Integrated
3Gbps or 6 Gbps RAID controller to enhances system availability and data
protection without using a valuable PCIe slot.
•
IPMI 2.0
supports highly secure remote system power control using data encryption. This
allows an administrator to restart a server without having to visit it in person, saving travel time
and getting the server back up and running quickly and securely. It also adds new features to
those provided by IPMI 1.5, including
VLAN
support,
Serial over LAN
, enhanced
authentication and encryption algorithms (
RMCP+
and
AES
) and a
firmware firewall
.
•
Altitude- and temperature-controlled fans
adjust to compensate for changing thermal
characteristics. At the lower speeds they draw less power and suffer less wear. Equally
important in a crowded data center, temperature-controlled fans produce less ambient noise in
the data center than if they were constantly running at full speed.
•
The
three-year (parts and labor) limited onsite warranty

helps afford you peace of mind
and greater investment protection than a one-year warranty does.
