- Light path diagnostics status - Service processor status and configuration - Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI configuration - Hard disk drive health - RAID adapter configuration - Event logs for service processors The DSA program creates a chronologically ordered merged of the system-event log (as the IPMI event log), the IMM event log (as the ASM event log), and the operating-system event logs. The information is collected into a file that you can send to IBM service and support. Additionally, you can view the information locally through a generated text report file. You can also copy the log to a removable media and view the log from a Web browser. For additional information about the DSA program, see the Problem Determination and Service Guide on the IBM Documentation CD v IBM Systems Director IBM Systems Director is a workgroup-hardware-management tool that you can use to centrally manage System x and xSeries® servers. For more information, see the IBM Systems Director documentation on the IBM Systems Director CD. v IBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, which you can download from the Web, 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 107. v IBM 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, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/xseries/xarchitecture/ enterprise/index.html. - VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor The VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor is available on some server models. Hypervisor is virtualization software that enables multiple operating systems to run on a host system at the same time. The VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor software is provided on USB flash device that is installed in the USB connector on the system board. See "Using the embedded hypervisor" on page 111 for additional information. - Active Memory™ The Active Memory feature improves the reliability of memory through memory mirroring. Memory mirroring stores data in two pairs of DIMMs simultaneously. - Large system-memory capacity The memory bus supports up to 128 GB of system memory using RDIMMs. The memory controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to 16 industry-standard PC3-10600R-999 (single-rank or dual-rank DIMMs), 800, 1067, and 1333 MHz, DDR3 (third-generation double-data-rate), registered, synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). The memory bus also supports up to 48 GB system memory using UDIMMs. v Integrated network support 8 IBM System x3400 M3 Type 7378/7379: Installation and User's Guide
