What your dx360 system-board tray offers
The dx360 system board uses the following features and technologies:
v
Active PCI Express x16 adapter capabilities
The dx360 system-board tray has one connector for PCI Express Generation two
x16 adapters.
v Baseboard management controller
The Intel baseboard management controller 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 1000 Mbps network. For more
information, see “Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page 38.
v
Large data-storage capacity
The dx360 supports one 3.5-inch simple-swap SAS or SATA hard disk drive in
the system-board tray. With the storage enclosure attached, the dx360 can
support up to four simple-swap SAS hard disk drives or up to five simple-swap
SATA hard disk drives.
v Large system-memory capacity
The dx360 supports up to 64 GB of system memory. The memory controller
supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to sixteen industry-standard, 240-pin,
double-data-rate 2 (DDR2) 667 MHz or 800 MHz, fully-buffered dual inline
memory modules (DIMMs).
