What your server offers Your server uses the following features and technologies: v Device Driver and IBM Enhanced Diagnostics To start the Enhanced Diagnostics diagnostic programs, press F2 while the server is starting. v Baseboard management controller The baseboard management controller (BMC) is a service processor that provides environmental monitoring for the server. If environmental conditions exceed thresholds or if system components fail, the baseboard management controller lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem. Critical errors are also included in the error log. v IBM Director IBM Director is a workgroup-hardware-management tool that you can use to centrally manage xSeries servers. For more information, see the IBM Director documentation on the IBM Director CD. v IBM Enterprise 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, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/eserver/xseries/xarchitecture/enterprise/index.html. - Active™ Memory The Active Memory feature improves the reliability of memory through memory mirroring, and online-spare memory. Memory mirroring stores data in two pairs of DIMMs simultaneously. Online-spare memory disables a failed pair of DIMMs from the system configuration and activates a pair of online-spare DIMMs. For more information, see the section about installing DIMMs in the IBM xSeries 336 Type 8837 Installation Guide. - Large system-memory capacity The memory bus supports up to 16 GB of system memory. The memory controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to eight industry-standard PC3200, 400 MHz, 1.8 V, 184-pin, registered, double-data-rate (DDR), synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). - Memory ProteXion The Memory ProteXion feature provides a function that is similar to a hot-spare drive in a RAID array. It is based in the memory controller, and it enables the server to sense when a chip on a DIMM has failed and to route the data around the failed chip. 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 a 32-bit Windows® operating system. The ServerGuide program detects installed hardware options 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 21. 4 IBM xSeries 336 Type 8837: User's Guide
