– Consistent firmware management across an entire product line
•
Integrated
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2
support.
•
IBM Systems Director
is provided for proactive systems management. It comes with a portfolio
of tools, including
IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager
and others. In addition, IBM
Systems Director offers extended systems management tools for additional server
management and increased availability.
Availability and Serviceability
The x3755 M3 provides many features to simplify serviceability and increase system uptime:
•
x3755 M3 servers support
Chipkill-enabled
memory DIMMs. Chipkill memory is up to
16X
better than standard ECC memory at correcting memory errors. This can help reduce
downtime caused by memory errors.
•
The x3755 M3 offers
online memory sparing
for redundancy in the event of a noncorrectable
memory failure.
•
Toolless
cover removal
provides easy access to upgrades and serviceable parts. Similarly,
the
DIMMS
,
HDDs
,
system battery
, and
adapters
can be installed and replaced without
tools. This means less time (and therefore less money) spent servicing the x3755 M3.
Additionally,
hot-swap/redundant HDDs, fan modules
and
power supplies
, as well as
online memory sparing
,
mean greater system uptime while these components are being
serviced.
•
New
toolless slides
ship with the server, together with a
Cable Management Arm (CMA)
,
that allow the rack server to easily slide into place
•
IBM
Thermal Diagnostics
allows the administrator to evaluate thermal data on the server
without taking the hardware offline. This can provide greater server uptime.
•
The
drop-down light path diagnostics panel
and individual light path LEDs quickly lead the
technician to failed (or failing) components. This simplifies servicing, speeds up problem
resolution and helps improve network availability.
•
Integrated
6Gbps
RAID controller to enhance system availability and data.
•
IPMI 2.0
supports highly secure remote system power control using data encryption. This
allows an administrator to restart a server without having to visit it in person, saving travel time
and getting the server back up and running quickly and securely. It also adds new features to
those provided by IPMI 1.5, including
VLAN
support,
Serial over LAN
, enhanced
authentication and encryption algorithms (
RMCP+
and
AES
) and a
firmware firewall
.
•
Temperature-controlled hot-swap redundant fans
adjust to compensate for changing
thermal characteristics. At the lower speeds they draw less power and suffer less wear.
Equally important in a crowded data center, temperature-controlled fans produce less ambient
noise in the data center than if they were constantly running at full speed.
•
Hot-swap/redundant power supplies
(two in a 2-processor system or three in a 4-processor
system) for
N+N
or
N+1
redundancy.
•
The
three-year (parts and labor) limited onsite warranty
4
helps afford you peace of mind
and greater investment protection than a one-year warranty does.
