What your xSeries 205 Type 8480 server offers Your server takes advantage of advancements in data storage, memory management, systems management, and network environments that require superior microprocessor performance. Your server includes: • IBM X-Architecture technology IBM X-Architecture features leverage proven innovative IBM technologies to build powerful, scalable, reliable Intel-processor-based servers. X-Architecture features include Light Path Diagnostics™, hot swappable hard disk drives, and predictive failure analysis (PFA). • High performance graphics controller Your server comes with a graphics controller on the PCI extender board. This high-performance controller supports high resolutions and includes many performance-enhancing features for your operating-system environment. • Large system memory The memory bus in your server supports up to 2.0 GB of system memory. The memory controller provides error code correction (ECC) support for up to two industry-standard PC2100, 3.3V, 184-pin, 266 Megahertz (MHz), unregistered, double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR-SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). • Systems-management capabilities Your server comes with features that a network administrator or file server can can use to remotely manage and control your server. Some of the features include: Wake on LAN®, IBM Director, Remote Administration, and System Migration Assistant. See Chapter 2, "Configuring your server" on page 11 for more information. If you have a Remote Supervisor adapter installed on your Advanced System Management (ASM) interconnected network, you can view the system health, turn on and turn off, and restart the server, view the error log, view the vital product data, and send alerts over the ASM interconnect network. To order an optional Remote Supervisor adapter, contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative. • Integrated network environment support Your server comes with an Ethernet controller on the system board. This Ethernet controller has an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1 Gbps networks. The server automatically selects between 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1 Gigabit environments. The controller provides full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet local area network (LAN). IBM ServerGuide™ Setup and Installation CD The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD that is included with your server provides programs to help you set up your server and install the network operating system (NOS). The ServerGuide program detects the hardware options that are installed 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 20. • ServeRAID support Your server supports ServeRAID adapter technology for use of redundant array of independent drive (RAID) configurations of hard disk drives.
