v IBM X-Architecture technology
IBM X-Architecture technology combines proven, innovative IBM designs to make
your Intel-processor-based server powerful, scalable, and reliable. For more
information, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/xseries/xarchitecture/
enterprise/index.html.
– Active
™
Memory
The Active Memory
™
feature improves the reliability of memory through
memory mirroring. Memory mirroring stores data in two pairs of DIMMs
simultaneously.
– Large system-memory capacity
The memory bus supports up to 128 GB of system memory. The memory
controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to 16 industry-standard
PC3-10600R-999 (single-rank or dual-rank), 800, 1067, and 1333 MHz, DDR3
(third-generation double-data-rate), registered, synchronous dynamic random
access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).
v
IBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, which you can download from the
Web, 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 119.
v Integrated network support
The server comes with two integrated Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet controllers,
which support connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. For
more information, see “Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page 125.
v Large data-storage and hot-swap capability
The server supports up to eight or twelve 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives in
the hot-swap bays (depending on the model and optional devices installed). With
the hot-swap feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives without
turning off the server.
v Light path diagnostics
Light path diagnostics provides LEDs to help you diagnose problems. For more
information, see the section about light path diagnostics in the Problem
Determination and Service Guide.
v PCI adapter capabilities
The server supports up to four PCI interface slots. For more information, see
“Installing a PCI adapter” on page 51.
v
Memory mirroring
Memory mirroring improves the availability of memory by writing information to
the main memory and redundant locations in a mirrored pair of DIMMs.
v
Redundant connection
The addition of the optional Ethernet daughter card provides failover capability to
a redundant Ethernet connection with the applicable application installed. If a
problem occurs with the primary Ethernet connection and the optional Ethernet
daughter card is installed on the server, all Ethernet traffic that is associated with
the primary connection is automatically switched to the optional redundant
Ethernet daughter card connection. If the applicable device drivers are installed,
this switching occurs without data loss and without user intervention.
