What
your
server
offers
The
server
uses
the
following
features
and
technologies:
v
Advanced
System
Management
The
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
Slimline
provides
Advanced
System
Management
capabilities
by
enabling
remote
keyboard,
video,
and
mouse
(KVM)
access
to
the
server.
v
Baseboard
management
controller
The
baseboard
management
controller
(BMC)
provides
basic
service-processor
environmental
monitoring
functions.
If
an
environmental
condition
exceeds
a
threshold
or
if
a
system
component
fails,
the
baseboard
management
controller
lights
LEDs
to
help
you
diagnose
the
problem.
Critical
errors
are
included
in
the
error
log.
The
BMC
also
provides
Serial
over
LAN
(SOL)
connectivity.
v
Diagnostics
program
You
can
use
the
diagnostics
program
to
test
the
major
components
of
the
server.
To
start
the
diagnostics
program,
press
F2
while
the
server
is
starting.
v
Dual-core
processing
The
server
supports
up
to
two
Intel
microprocessors.
The
server
comes
with
only
one
microprocessor,
and
you
can
install
a
second
microprocessor
to
enhance
performance.

–
Active
™
Memory
The
Active
Memory
feature
improves
the
reliability
of
memory
through
memory
mirroring
and
online-spare
memory.
Memory
mirroring
stores
data
in
two
pairs
of
DIMMs
simultaneously.
Online-spare
memory
disables
a
failed
pair
of
DIMMs
from
the
system
configuration
and
activates
a
pair
of
online-spare
DIMMs.
For
more
information,
see
the
section
about
installing
DIMMs
in
the
Installation
Guide
.
–
Large
system-memory
capacity
The
memory
bus
supports
up
to
32
GB
of
system
memory.
The
memory
controller
supports
error
correcting
code
(ECC)
for
up
to
eight
industry-standard
PC2-5300,
667
MHz,
DDR2
(second-generation
double-data-rate),
fully
buffered,
synchronous
dynamic
random
access
memory
(SDRAM)
dual
inline
memory
modules
(DIMMs).

operating
system.
The
ServerGuide
program
detects
installed
hardware
options
and
provides
the
correct
configuration
programs
and
device
drivers.
