What Your Blade Server Offers The design of the blade server takes advantage of advancements in memory management and data storage. The blade server uses the following features and technologies: • Baseboard management controller (BMC) The baseboard management controller (BMC) is on the system board of the blade server. The BMC operates as the service processor for the blade server and performs several tasks, including the following functions: - Provides RS-485 interfaces to the management module - Provides support for: -- Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) -- The operating system -- Power control and advanced power management -- Reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features -- Serial over LAN (SOL) • Disk drive support The blade server supports up to two 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF) Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives. • Impressive performance using the latest microprocessor technology The blade server supports up to two dual-core/quad-core Intel® Xeon processor microprocessors. • Integrated network support The blade server comes with two integrated Broadcom* BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet controllers, which support connection to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps network through an Ethernet-compatible switch module in the SBCE unit. The controller supports Wake on LAN® technology. • I/O-expansion The blade server has connectors on the system board for optional expansion cards for adding more network communication capabilities to the blade server. • Large system memory The blade server system board supports up to 16 GB of system memory. The memory controller provides support for up to four industry-standard fully-buffered double-data rate (FB-DDR2), PC2-4200, ECC SDRAM registered x4 DIMMs installed in the system board. The controller is able to support additional memory DIMMs installed in an optional expansion unit.

What Your Blade Server Offers
The design of the blade server takes advantage of advancements in memory management
and data storage. The blade server uses the following features and technologies:
•
Baseboard management controller (BMC)
The baseboard management controller (BMC) is on the system board of the blade
server. The BMC operates as the service processor for the blade server and performs
several tasks, including the following functions:
—
Provides RS-485 interfaces to the management module
—
Provides support for:
--
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)
--
The operating system
--
Power control and advanced power management
--
Reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features
--
Serial over LAN (SOL)
•
Disk drive support
The blade server supports up to two 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF) Serial
Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives.
•
Impressive performance using the latest microprocessor technology
The blade server supports up to two dual-core/quad-core Intel® Xeon processor
microprocessors.
•
Integrated network support
The blade server comes with two integrated Broadcom* BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet
controllers, which support connection to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps
