What your server offers
Your server offers features and technology such as the integrated management module II (IMM2), hard disk
drive support, Features on Demand software Ethernet and RAID support, systems-management support,
microprocessor technology, memory mirroring and sparing, remote presence and blue-screen capture
features and ServeRAID support.
The server uses and supports the following features and technologies:
• Active Energy Manager
This Lenovo server provides IBM Active Energy Manager program support. The IBM Active Energy
Manager solution is an IBM Systems Director extension that measures and reports server power
consumption as it occurs. This enables you to monitor power consumption in correlation to specific
software application programs and hardware configurations. You can obtain the measurement
values through the systems-management interface and view them, using Systems Director. For
more information, including the required levels of IBM Systems Director and Active Energy
Manager, see the IBM Systems Director documentation on the
IBM Systems Director DVD, or see
http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/systems/solutions/
• Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) The server comes with the Lenovo Dynamic System Analysis (DSA)
Preboot diagnostic program stored in the integrated USB memory on the server. DSA collects and
analyzes system information to aid in diagnosing server problems, as well as offering a rich set of
diagnostic tests of the major components of the server. DSA creates a DSA log, which is a chronologically
ordered merge of the system-event log (as the IPMI event log), the IMM2 event log (as the ASM event log),
and the operating-system event logs. You can send the DSA log as a file to IBM Support or view the
information as a text file or HTML file.
Note: This documentation includes references to IBM web sites, products, and information about
obtaining service. IBM is Lenovo's preferred service provider for the Lenovo System x products.
Two editions of Dynamic System Analysis are available: DSA Portable and DSA Preboot. For more
information about both editions, see “DSA editions” on page 177
• Features on Demand software Ethernet support
The server provides Features on Demand software Ethernet support. You can purchase a Features on
Demand software upgrade activation key for Fiber Channel over Ethernet and iSCSI storage protocols
that is provided through the Intel Ethernet controller. For more information, see “Enabling Features on
Demand Ethernet software” on page 150.
• Features on Demand software RAID support
The server provides Features on Demand software RAID support for RAID levels 5, 6, 50, and 60 upgrade.
Features on Demand software RAID upgrade is integrated into the IMM2. For more information, see
“Enabling Features on Demand RAID software” on page 150.
• Integrated management module II
The IMM2 combines service processor functions, video controller, and remote presence and blue-screen
capture features in a single chip. The IMM2 provides advanced service-processor control, monitoring,
and alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails,
the IMM2 lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem, records the error in the IMM2 event log, and
alerts you to the problem. Optionally, the IMM2 also provides a virtual presence capability for remote
server management capabilities. The IMM2 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)
