What your server offers
Your server takes advantage of advancements in symmetric multiprocessing (SMP),
data storage, disk-array technologies, and memory management. Your server
includes:
v
Redundant power capabilities
Some server models provide redundant power capability. Your server comes with
two or three 350-watt hot-swap power supplies. Three power supplies provide
redundant power: if the average load on your server is less than 700 watts and a
problem occurs with one of the power supplies, the remaining two power supplies
can handle the load.
v Large system-memory capacity
Your server supports up to 16 GB of system memory. The memory controller
provides error correcting code (ECC) support for up to eight industry-standard,
133 MHz, 2.5 V, 184-pin, double-data-rate (DDR), PC2100 registered,
synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory
modules (DIMMs). The memory controller provides Chipkill
™
memory protection if
all DIMMs are type x4. Chipkill memory protection is a technology that protects
the server from a single chip failure on a DIMM.
v
Impressive performance using SMP
Your server supports two Intel Itanium 2 microprocessors installed for enhanced
performance and SMP capability.
v
Large data-storage and hot-swap capabilities
Your server supports up to two 25.4-mm (1-inch) slim-high, 3.5-inch hot-swap
hard disk drives in the hot-swap bays. With the hot-swap feature, you can add,
remove, or replace hard disk drives without turning off the server.
v
Network Alerts
Your server supports network alerts that provide notification of changes in the
server system. These alerts help manage and monitor the hardware and software
features of your server.
v Serial over LAN
Your server supports Serial over LAN technology, which provides advanced
remote management capability. It provides the ability to redirect server serial data
over a LAN without the use of serial concentrators. It also eliminates the need for
serial cabling by internally rerouting serial packets over the LAN. The Serial over
LAN feature enables redirection of both the BIOS console to a remote client
console to provide remote administration and eliminate the need for a dedicated
monitor and keyboard. The Serial over LAN feature does not require any special
client software because it is designed to work with existing standard Telnet
consoles.
v
Integrated network support
Your server comes with an integrated dual-channel Gigabit Ethernet controller on
the system board. This Ethernet controller has an interface for connecting to a
10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1-Gbps network. The server automatically selects
between 10BASE-T and 100/1000BASE-TX environments. The controller
provides full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission
and reception of data on an Ethernet local area network (LAN).
v
Redundant connection
The dual-channel Ethernet controller on the system board provides a failover
capability to a redundant Ethernet connection. If a problem occurs with the
primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet traffic associated with the primary
