• 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 IMM2.1 provides advanced
service-processor control, monitoring, and alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a
threshold or if a system component fails, the IMM2.1 lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem,
records the error in the IMM2.1 event log, and alerts you to the problem. Optionally, the IMM2.1 also
provides a virtual presence capability for remote server management capabilities. The IMM2.1 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

• Integrated network support
The server comes with an integrated dual-port Intel Gigabit Ethernet controller, which supports connection
to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. For more information, see “Configuring the Ethernet
controller” on page 116.
• 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/systems/x/hardware/enterprise/index.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 107).
• Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability
The server can support a maximum of thirty-two 2.5-inch drives, twelve 3.5-inch drives, or a combination
of both 2.5-inch and 3.5-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 3.5-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.
• Large system-memory capacity
The server can support up to 1536 GB of system memory. The server implements 12 DIMM slots per
processor that system consists of 24 DIMM slots. The server memory controller supports error correcting
