What the IBM Netfinity 7000 M10 Offers
The unique design of the server takes advantage of
advancements in symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), data
storage, and memory management. The server combines:
Ÿ
Impressive performance using an innovative approach
to SMP
The server supports up to four Intel Pentium II Xeon
microprocessors. You can install multiple
microprocessors in the server to enhance
performance and provide SMP capability.
The server is shipped with a Netfinity Advanced
Remote Management Controller. With this adapter, in
conjunction with the Netfinity Manager Advanced
System Management service capabilities of Netfinity
Manager, you can locally and remotely configure and
monitor many features of the server. You can
configure system-management events ( such as
POST, loader, and operating system timeouts or
critical temperature, voltage, and tamper alerts). If
any of these events occur, the Netfinity Advanced
Remote Management Controller can forward an alert
to another resource:
– Another Netfinity Manager or other
service-processor interface, through an Ethernet
network or serial connection
– A standard numeric pager
– An alphanumeric pager
You can dialout and directly access and control a
remote Netfinity Advanced Remote Management
Controller.
In addition, you can remotely monitor, record, and
replay all textual data generated during power-on
self-test (POST) on a remote server with a Netfinity
Advanced Remote Management Controller. While
monitoring a remote system during POST, you can
enter keyboard commands that will be relayed to the
remote system.
Note
The Advanced Remote Management Controller is
sometimes referred to as the
system
management adapter.
Ÿ
Large data-storage and hot-swap capabilities
All models of the server support up to four hot-swap
hard disk drives. This
hot-swap feature enables you
to remove and replace hard disk drives without
turning off the server.
Ÿ
Hot-plug PCI adapter capabilities
The server has twelve hot-plug slots for PCI adapters.
With operating system support, you can replace
failing hot-plug PCI adapters without turning off the
