IBM® Netfinity® 5100 User’s Reference
Introducing the Netfinity 5100
What your IBM Netfinity 5100 offers
The unique design of your server takes advantage of advancements in symmetric
multiprocessing (SMP), data storage, and memory management. Your server
combines:
• Impressive performance using an innovative approach to SMP
Your server supports up to two Pentium III microprocessors. Your server comes
with one microprocessor installed; you can install an additional microprocessor
to enhance performance and provide SMP capability.
• Large data-storage and hot-swap capabilities
All models of the server support up to six hot-swap hard disk drives. This hot-
swap feature enables you to remove and replace hard disk drives without
turning off the server.
• Redundant power capabilities
The standard 250-watt power supply in your server can handle a load of up to
250 watts. By replacing the power backplane with the power backplane option,
you can install a second, optional power supply. This provides a full 500 watts
of power. If the average load on your server is less than 250 watts and a problem
occurs with one of the power supplies, the other power supply can handle the
load (redundant power). If the average load on your server is greater than 250
watts, and you have installed a second power supply, you can install a third,
optional power supply to provide redundancy.
The NON light emitting diode (LED) on the system board is lit when the power
load is 250 watts or greater with two power supplies, or when the power load is
500 watts or greater with three power supplies.
• Large system memory
The memory bus in your server supports up to 4gigabytes (GB) of system
memory. The memory controller provides error correcting code (ECC) support
for up to four industry standard PC133, 3.3 V, 168-pin, 8-byte, registered,
synchronous-dynamic-random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory
modules (DIMMs).
• System-management capabilities
Your server comes with a Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor on
the system board. This processor, in conjunction with the Netfinity management
software that is provided on your ServerGuide™ CDs, enables you to manage
the functions of the server locally and remotely. The Netfinity Advanced System
Management Processor also provides system monitoring, event recording, and
dial-out alert capability.
Note: The Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor is sometimes
referred to as the service processor.
Refer to “Chapter 5. Using the Netfinity Manager programs,” on page 29 for
more information.
• Integrated network environment support
Your server comes with an Ethernet controller on the system board. This
Ethernet controller has an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps
networks. The server automatically selects between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX.
The controller provides full-duplex (FDX) capability, which allows simultaneous
transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet local area network (LAN).
