Page: 26 / 694

By using industry standards, IBM Systems Director supports multiple operating
systems and virtualization technologies for IBM and non-IBM x86 platforms. For
more information, see the IBM Systems Director documentation on the
IBM
Systems Director DVD and “IBM Systems Director” on page 15.

Integrated management module II (IMM2)
The integrated management module II (IMM2) combines service processor
functions, video controller, and remote presence and blue-screen capture features
in a single chip. The IMM provides advanced service-processor control,
monitoring, and alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a
threshold or if a system component fails, the IMM lights LEDs to help you
diagnose the problem, records the error in the IMM event log, and alerts you to
the problem. Optionally, the IMM also provides a virtual presence capability for
remote server management capabilities. The IMM provides remote server
management through the following industry-standard interfaces:
– Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) version 2.0
– Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 3.0
– Common Information Model (CIM)
– Web browser
For additional information, see “Using the integrated management module” on
page 135 and the
Integrated Management Module II User’s Guide at

v
Integrated network support
The server comes with an integrated Emulex BE3 Ethernet controller that
supports embedded dual-port 1 Gb connections and the optional dual-port 10
Gb-T and the optional dual-port 10Gb SFP+Fiber Ethernet adapters. The
Ethernet controller supports connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps
network. For more information, see “Configuring the Ethernet controller” on
page 139.
v
Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
This integrated security chip performs cryptographic functions and stores
private and public secure keys. It provides the hardware support for the Trusted
Computing Group (TCG) specification. You can download the software to
support the TCG specification, when the software is available. See
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/xseries/scalable_family.html for details
about the TPM implementation. You can enable TPM support through the Setup
utility under the
System Security menu choice (see“Using the Setup utility” on
page 127).
v
Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability
The server can support a maximum of sixteen 2.5-inch drives, thirty-two 32
1.8-inch drives, or a combination of both 2.5-inch and 1.8-inch drives when you
use the supported SAS/SATA backplane configurations. The server supports
2.5-inch hot-swap Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives or hot-swap Serial
ATA (SATA) hard disk drives, 2.5-inch hot-swap solid state drives (SSD), or
1.8-inch hot-swap solid state drives.
With the hot-swap feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives
without turning off the server.
v
Large system-memory capacity
The server can support up to 1.5 TB of system memory. The server base system
board provides 24 dual inline memory module (DIMM) connectors for up to 768
GB of memory. For additional memory capacity, an optional microprocessor and
memory expansion tray is available for purchase that provides 24 DIMMs for up
10
