What your server offers Your server takes advantage of advancements in data storage, memory management, systems management, and network environments that require superior microprocessor performance. Your server includes: v Impressive performance using an innovative approach to SMP Your server supports up to two Intel Pentium 4 microprocessors. It comes with one microprocessor installed; you can install an additional microprocessor to enhance performance and provide SMP capability. v Large system-memory capacity The memory bus in your server is enabled for up to 4 GB (8 GB with the availability of 2 GB memory modules) of system memory. The memory controller provides error correcting code (ECC) support for up to four industry standard PC2100, 3.3 V, 184-pin, 8-byte, registered, double-data-rate synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). The memory controller also provides Chipkill Memory protection if all DIMMs are of the type x4. Chipkill Memory protection is a technology that protects the system from a single chip failure on a DIMM. v Systems-management capabilities Your server comes with features that a network administrator or file server can use to remotely manage and control the server. Some of the features include Wake on LAN, IBM Director, Remote Administration, and System Migration Assistant. If your server is connected to an Advanced System Management (ASM) interconnect network that is managed by a Remote Supervisor Adapter, you can view the system health; turn on, turn off, and restart the server; view the error log; view the vital product data; and send alerts over the ASM interconnect network. To order an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter, contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative. v Integrated system management processor The integrated system management processor (ISMP) provides environmental monitoring for the server. If environmental conditions exceed thresholds or if system components fail, the ISMP lights the Light Path Diagnostics™ LEDs to indicate the location of the problem. Critical errors are also included in the error log. v Integrated network environment support Your server comes with two Ethernet controllers on the system board. These controllers have interfaces for connecting to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1-Gbps network. The server automatically selects between 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and Gigabit Ethernet environments. The controllers provide full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on an Ethernet local area network (LAN). v IBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD that comes with your server provides programs to help you set up your server and install the operating system. The ServerGuide™ program detects installed hardware options and provides the correct configuration programs and device drivers.
