What your dx320 system-board tray offers
The dx320 system-board tray uses the following features and technologies:
v
Baseboard management controller
The baseboard management controller (BMC) provides basic service-processor
environmental monitoring functions. If an environmental condition exceeds a
threshold or if a system component fails, the baseboard management controller
lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem and records the error in the error
log. The baseboard management controller also provides remote server
management capabilities, using the Intelligent Platform Management Interface
(IPMI) version 2.0 protocol.
Note: In messages and documentation, the term service processor refers to the
baseboard management controller.
v Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) programs
The DSA programs collect and analyze system information to aid in diagnosing
problems. The diagnostic programs collect the following information:
– System configuration
– Network interfaces and settings
– Installed hardware
– Service processor status and configuration
– Vital product data, firmware, and BIOS configuration
– Hard disk drive health
The diagnostic programs create a merged log that includes events from all
collected logs. The information is collected into a file that you can send to IBM
service and support. Additionally, you can view the information locally through a
generated text report file. You also can copy the log to removable media and
view the log from a Web browser.
v
High-performance graphics controller
The server comes with an integrated graphics controller. This high-performance
controller supports high resolutions and includes many performance-enhancing
features for the operating-system environment.
v
Integrated network support
The server comes with dual integrated Gigabit Ethernet controllers, which support
connections to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps network. For more information,
see “Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page 35.
v
Large system-memory capacity
The dx320 supports up to 48 GB of system memory. The memory controller
supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to six industry-standard, 240-pin,
double-data-rate 2 (DDR2) 667 MHz dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).
v Redundant connection
The system-board tray provides a failover capability to a redundant Ethernet
connection. If a problem occurs with the primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet
traffic that is associated with the primary connection is automatically switched to
the redundant network interface controller (NIC). If the applicable device drivers
are installed, this switching occurs without data loss and without user
intervention.
v Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
The dx320 system-board tray comes with two Intel quad-core Xeon
microprocessors.
