What your server offers Your server uses the following features and technologies: v High-performance graphics adapter Your server supports a high-performance graphics adapter in PCI slot 1 on the system board. This high-performance adapter supports high resolutions and includes many performance-enhancing features for your operating-system environment. v IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD Your server comes with a IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD, which you can use to diagnose problems. 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/. v IBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD | The ServerGuide™ Setup and Installation CD provides programs to help you set | up your 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 18. v Integrated network support Your server comes with an integrated Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet controller, which supports connection to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps network. For more information, see "Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 25. v Large data-storage and hot-swap capabilities Some server models support up to three 25.4-mm (1-inch) slim-high, 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives in the hot-swap bays. With the hot-swap feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives without turning off the server. v Large system-memory capacity Your server supports up to 4 GB of system memory. The memory controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to four industry-standard, 2.5 V, 184-pin, double-data-rate (DDR), PC2700 or PC2-3200 unbuffered, synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). v Redundant connection The addition of an optional network interface card (NIC) provides a failover capability to a redundant Ethernet connection. If a problem occurs with the primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet traffic associated with the primary connection is automatically switched to the redundant NIC. If the applicable device drivers are installed, this switching occurs without data loss and without user intervention. v ServeRAID support Your server supports ServeRAID adapters to create redundant array of independent disks (RAID) configurations. In addition, your server also has integrated RAID levels 0 and 1 support. 4 xSeries 226 Type 8648: User's Guide
