Notices and statements in this book The caution and danger statements used in this book also appear in the multilingual Safety Information book provided on the IBM Documentation CD. Each caution and danger statement is numbered for easy reference to the corresponding statements in the safety book. The following types of notices and statements are used in this book: v Note: These notices provide important tips, guidance, or advice. v Important: These notices provide information or advice that might help you avoid inconvenient or problem situations. v Attention: These notices indicate possible damage to programs, devices, or data. An attention notice is placed just before the instruction or situation in which damage could occur. v Caution: These statements indicate situations that can be potentially hazardous to you. A caution statement is placed just before the description of a potentially hazardous procedure step or situation. v Danger: These statements indicate situations that can be potentially lethal or extremely hazardous to you. A danger statement is placed just before the description of a potentially lethal or extremely hazardous procedure step or situation. What the IBM xSeries 232 offers The unique design of the server takes advantage of advancements in symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), data storage, and memory management. The server combines: v IBM X-Architecture technology IBM X-Architecture leverages proven innovative IBM technologies to build the most powerful, and reliable Intel processor-based servers in the world. v Impressive performance using an innovative approach to SMP The server supports up to two Pentium III microprocessors. The server comes with one microprocessor installed; you can install an additional microprocessor to enhance performance and provide SMP capability. v Large data-storage and hot-swap capabilities All models of the server support up to six hot-swap hard disk drives. This hot-swap feature enables you to remove and replace hard disk drives without turning off the server. The addition of an optional digital linear tape drive (DLT) enables quick backup of large amounts of data. v IBM integrated system management processor (ISMP) The integrated system management processor provides environmental monitoring for your server. When environmental conditions exceed thresholds or when system components fail, the ISMP lights the Light Path Diagnostics™ LEDs to indicate the location of the problem. Critical errors, as well as environmental and configuration information, are also included in the error log. If an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter is installed on the Advanced System Management (ASM) interconnect network, you can view the system health; update the ISMP code; power on, power off, and restart the server; view the error log; view the vital product data; and send alerts over the ASM interconnect network. v Redundant power capabilities General information 5
