What your server offers The server uses the following features and technologies: v Baseboard management controller The baseboard management controller provides basic service-processor environmental monitoring functions. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, the baseboard management controller lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem. Critical errors are also included in the error log. Note: In messages and documentation, the term service processor refers to the baseboard management controller or the optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine. v IBM Director IBM Director is a workgroup-hardware-management tool that you can use to centrally manage 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 x86-processor-based server powerful, scalable, and reliable. For more information, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/xseries/xarchitecture/ enterprise/index.html. v Large system-memory capacity The server supports up to 8 GB of system memory. The memory controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to four industry-standard PC2-5300, 667 MHz, ECC, double-data-rate (DDR) II unbuffered synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). 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 Windows operating system. The ServerGuide program detects installed optional hardware devices 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 42. v Integrated network support The server comes with two integrated Broadcom Gigabit controllers, which support connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. For more information, see "Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllers" on page 55. v Large data-storage capacity The server supports up to two 25.4 mm (1-inch) slim-high, 3.5-inch hard disk drives (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) or serial-attached SCSI (SAS), depending on the server model), or up to four 63.5 mm (2.5-inch) hard disk drives (SAS), depending on the server model. v ServeRAID™ support The hot-swap models of this server contain an internal SAS controller that supports level 0 and level 1 redundant array of independent disks (RAID) configurations. The server also supports some ServeRAID adapters and other optional devices to create RAID configurations. For a list of supported ServeRAID devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/ compat/us/. Chapter 1. The System x3250 M2 Types 4190 and 4194 5
