What your server offers
The server uses the following features and technologies:
v
Mini baseboard management controller (mini-BMC)
The mini-BMC provides basic service-processor environmental monitoring
functions. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system
component fails, the mini-BMC lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem.
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 IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD
The server comes with an IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD, which you can use to
diagnose problems.
v IBM Director
IBM Director is a workgroup-hardware-management tool that you can use to
centrally manage System x
®
and xSeries servers. For more information, see the
IBM Director documentation on the IBM Director CD.
v
IBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD that comes with the server provides
programs to help you set up the server and install a Windows
®
operating system.
The ServerGuide
™
program detects installed optional hardware devices and
provides the correct configuration programs and device drivers.
For more information about the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, see
“Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD” on page 51.
v Integrated network support
The server comes with an integrated Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet
controller, which supports connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps
network. For more information, see “Configuring the Broadcom NetXtreme
Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page 54.
v
Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capabilities
Some server models support up to four 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
Large system-memory capacity
The server supports up to 8 GB of system memory. The memory controller
supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to four industry-standard, 1.8 V,
184-pin, double-data-rate 2 (DDR2), PC2-5300 unbuffered, synchronous dynamic
random-access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).
v
Redundant connection
The addition of an optional network interface card (NIC) 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 NIC. If the
applicable device drivers are installed, this switching occurs without data loss and
without user intervention.
v ServeRAID
™
support
The server supports ServeRAID adapters to create redundant array of
independent disks (RAID) configurations. The server also has integrated RAID
level-0 and level-1 support in selected models.
