What the IBM Netfinity 7000 M10 Offers The unique design of the server takes advantage of advancements in symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), data storage, and memory management. The server combines: Impressive performance using an innovative approach to SMP The server supports up to four Intel Pentium II Xeon microprocessors. You can install multiple microprocessors in the server to enhance performance and provide SMP capability. The server is shipped with a Netfinity Advanced Remote Management Controller. With this adapter, in conjunction with the Netfinity Manager Advanced System Management service capabilities of Netfinity Manager, you can locally and remotely configure and monitor many features of the server. You can configure system-management events ( such as POST, loader, and operating system timeouts or critical temperature, voltage, and tamper alerts). If any of these events occur, the Netfinity Advanced Remote Management Controller can forward an alert to another resource: - Another Netfinity Manager or other service-processor interface, through an Ethernet network or serial connection - A standard numeric pager - An alphanumeric pager You can dialout and directly access and control a remote Netfinity Advanced Remote Management Controller. In addition, you can remotely monitor, record, and replay all textual data generated during power-on self-test (POST) on a remote server with a Netfinity Advanced Remote Management Controller. While monitoring a remote system during POST, you can enter keyboard commands that will be relayed to the remote system. Note The Advanced Remote Management Controller is sometimes referred to as the system management adapter. Large data-storage and hot-swap capabilities All models of the server support up to four hot-swap hard disk drives. This hot-swap feature enables you to remove and replace hard disk drives without turning off the server. Hot-plug PCI adapter capabilities The server has twelve hot-plug slots for PCI adapters.
