What your server offers
The server uses the following features and technologies:
v
UEFI-compliant server firmware
IBM System x
®
Server Firmware offers several features, including Unified
Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) 2.1 compliance, Active Energy Manager
technology, enhanced RAS capabilities, and BIOS compatibility support. UEFI
replaces the basic input/output system (BIOS) and defines a standard interface
between the operating system, platform firmware, and external devices.
UEFI-compliant System x servers are capable of booting UEFI-compliant
operating systems, BIOS-based operating systems, and BIOS-based adapters as
well as UEFI-compliant adapters.
Note: The server does not support DOS.
v Integrated Management Module II
The integrated management module II (IMM2) is the second generation of the
IMM. The IMM2 is the common management controller for IBM System x
hardware. The IMM2 consolidates multiple management functions in a single chip
on the server system board.
Some of the features that are unique to the IMM2 are enhanced performance,
expanded compatibility with blade servers, higher-resolution remote video,
expanded security options, and Feature on Demand enablement for hardware
and firmware options.
For additional information, see “Using the integrated management module II” on
page 150.
v
Multi-core processing
The server supports up to two Intel Xeon
™
E5-2600 series multi-core
microprocessors. The server comes with only one microprocessor installed.
v
IBM Systems Director CD
IBM Systems 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 Systems Director documentation on the IBM Systems Director CD
and “IBM Systems Director” on page 14.
v IBM Dynamic System Analysis Preboot diagnostics programs
The Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Preboot diagnostics programs are stored
on the integrated USB memory. It collects and analyzes system information to aid
in diagnosing server problems. The diagnostic programs collect the following
information about the server:
– System configuration
– Network interfaces and settings
– Installed hardware
– Light path diagnostics status
– Service processor status and configuration
– Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI (formerly BIOS) configuration
– Hard disk drive health
– RAID controller configuration
– Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors
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
