What your server offers
The server uses the following features and technologies:
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 IBM Dynamic System Analysis Pre-boot Diagnostic program
The IBM Dynamic System Analysis Pre-boot Diagnostic CD that comes with the
server provides a diagnostic program you can use to test the major components
of the server. If the Dynamic System Analysis Pre-boot Diagnostic CD did not
come with the server you can download the latest version from
http://www-304.ibm.com/jct01004c/systems/support/supportsite.wss/
docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-4JTS2T&brandind=5000008
.
v
Dual-core or quad-core processing
The server supports one dual-core or one quad-core Intel microprocessor.
v
IBM Director
IBM Director is a workgroup-hardware-management tool that you can use to
centrally manage System x servers. For more information, see the IBM Director
documentation on the IBM Director CD.
v
IBM Enterprise X-Architecture technology
IBM X-Architecture technology combines proven, innovative IBM designs to make
your x86-processor-based server powerful, scalable, and reliable. For more
information, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/xseries/xarchitecture/
enterprise/index.html.
v
Large system-memory capacity
The memory bus supports up to 8 GB of system memory. The memory controller
supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to four industry-standard PC2-5300,
667 MHz, DDR2 (second-generation double-data-rate), unbuffered, synchronous
dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules
(DIMMs).
v IBM ServerGuide
™
Setup and Installation CD
The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD that comes with the server provides
programs to help you set up the server and install a Windows
®
operating system.
The ServerGuide program detects installed optional hardware devices and
provides the correct configuration programs and device drivers. For more
information about the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, see “Using the
ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD” on page 49.
v
Integrated network support
The server comes with two integrated dual-port Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet
controllers, which support connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps
network. For more information, see “Configuring the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet
controller” on page 66.
v
Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability
The 2.5-inch server models support up to four hot-swap disk drives. The 3.5-inch
server models support up to two Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or Serial ATA
(SATA) hot-swap hard disk drives. The simple-swap models support up to two
SATA simple swap hard disk drives.
