IBM 7379E2U, Инструкция по установке и эксплуатации

Страница: 26 / 152

The server supports ServeRAID adapters to create redundant array of
independent disks (RAID) configurations.
v Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
The server supports up to two Intel Xeon quad-core microprocessors. If the
server comes with only one microprocessor, you can install an additional
microprocessor to enhance performance and provide SMP capability.
v
Systems-management capabilities
The server contains an integrated management module (IMM), which enables
you to manage the functions of the server locally and remotely and provides
remote presence and blue-screen capture capability. The IMM also provides
system monitoring and event recording.
v
TCP/IP offload engine (TOE) support
The Ethernet controllers in the server support TOE, which is a technology that
offloads the TCP/IP flow from the microprocessors and I/O subsystem to increase
the speed of the TCP/IP flow. When an operating system that supports TOE is
running on the server and TOE is enabled, the server supports TOE operation.
See the operating-system documentation for information about enabling TOE.
Note: As of the date of this document, the Linux operating system does not
support TOE.
Reliability, availability, and serviceability
Three important server design features are reliability, availability, and serviceability
(RAS). The RAS features help to ensure the integrity of the data that is stored in
the server, the availability of the server when you need it, and the ease with which
you can diagnose and correct problems.
The server has the following RAS features:
v
3-year parts, 3-year labor limited warranty (1-year warranty is available in limited
geography)
v
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
v Advanced Desktop Management Interface (DMI) features
v
Automatic error retry or recovery
v Automatic memory downsizing on error detection
v
Automatic restart on nonmaskable interrupt (NMI)
v Automatic Server Restart (ASR) logic supporting a system restart when the
operating system becomes unresponsive
v
Automatic server restart after a power failure, based on the Setup utility setting
v
Availability of microcode level
v
ABR (Automatic BIOS Recovery)
v
Built-in, menu-driven setup, system configuration, and redundant array of
independent disks (RAID) configuration
v Built-in monitoring for fan, power, temperature, and voltage
v
CD-based diagnostic programs
v Cooling fans with speed-sensing capability
v
Customer support center that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
2
v Diagnostic support of ServeRAID adapters
2. Service availability will vary by country. Response time varies; may exclude holidays.
