Workstation features The IntelliStation E Pro takes advantage of advancements in data storage, memory, systems management, and network environments. The computer includes: v High performance accelerated graphics port (AGP) graphics The computer comes with an AGP graphics adapter installed. This high-performance adapter supports high resolutions and includes many performance-enhancing features for the operating-system environment. v Large system memory The memory bus in the computer supports up to 1.5 GB of system memory. The memory controller provides error code correction (ECC) support for up to three industry-standard PC133, 3.3V, 168-pin, 133 Megahertz (MHz), unregistered, synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). v Systems-management capabilities The computer comes with features that a network administrator or file server can can use to remotely manage and control the computer. Some of the features include: Wake on LAN®, Remote Administration, and System Migration Assistant. v Integrated network environment support The computer comes with an Ethernet controller on the system board. This Ethernet controller has an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps networks. The computer automatically selects between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX environments. The controller provides full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet local area network (LAN). Reliability, availability, and serviceability features Three important computer design features are reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS). The RAS features help to ensure the integrity of the data that is stored on the computer, the availability of the computer when you need it, and the ease with which you can diagnose and repair problems. The following is an abbreviated list of the RAS features that the computer supports. Many of these features are explained in later chapters of this publication. v Reliability features - Boot block recovery - Cooling fans with speed-sensing capability - Error code correction (ECC) front-side buses (FSBs) - ECC L2 cache and system memory - Parity checking on the small computer system interface (SCSI) and peripheral component interconnect (PCI) buses - Advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) - Power-on self-test (POST) - Synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) with serial presence detect (SPD) v Availability features - Advanced Desktop Management Interface (DMI) features - Auto-restart initial program load (IPL) power supply - Automatic error retry or recovery - Automatic computer restart after power failure - Built-in, menu-driven configuration and setup programs 6 Hardware Maintenance Manual: IBM IntelliStation E Pro Type 6204 and Type 6214
