If the CD did not come with the server, complete the following steps to download it. Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure might vary slightly from what is described in this document. 1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/. 2. Under Product support, click System x. 3. Under Popular links, click Software and device drivers. 4. Click Dynamic System Analysis (DSA). For additional information about the DSA diagnostic programs, see the Problem Determination and Service Guide on the IBM System x Documentation CD. v IBM Director IBM Director is a workgroup-hardware-management tool that you can use to centrally manage xSeries® 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 an 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 63. 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 68. v Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capabilities Some hot-swap models support up to four slim-high, 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS hard disk drives. Some models support up to eight slim-high 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS hard disk drives. 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, 240-pin, double-data-rate 2 (DDR2), PC2-5300 or PC2-6400 unbuffered, synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). v Mini-baseboard management controller (mini-BMC) Chapter 1.
