Server features The design of the 200 takes advantage of advancements in data storage and memory management. The server combines: v Impressive performance using an innovative approach to microprocessor utilization ® ® The server comes with one Celeron or Pentium III microprocessor installed. v Large system memory The memory bus in the server supports up to 1.5 gigabytes (GB) of system memory. The memory controller provides error code correction (ECC) support for up to three industry-standard PC133, 3.3 V, 168-pin, 133 megahertz (MHz), unregistered, synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs). v Systems-management capabilities See the documentation provided with the systems-management software for more information. v Integrated network environment support The server comes with an Ethernet controller on the system board. This Ethernet controller has an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps networks. The server automatically selects between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX environments. The controller provides full-duplex (FDX) capability, which allows simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet local area network (LAN). v IBM ServerGuide™ CDs The ServerGuide CDs included with IBM servers provide programs to help set up the server and install the network operating system (NOS). The ServerGuide program detects the hardware options installed, and provides the correct configuration program and device drivers. In addition, the ServerGuide CDs include a variety of application programs for the server. Note: The latest level of BIOS for the server is also available through the World Wide Web. Refer to "Recovering BIOS" on page 18 for the appropriate World Wide Web addresses. Chapter 2. General information 5
