What your server offers The server uses the following features and technologies: v Baseboard management controller The baseboard management controller provides basic service-processor environmental monitoring functions. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, the baseboard management controller lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem and records the errors in the error log. The baseboard management controller also provides remote server management capabilities through the OSA SMBridge management utility program. Note: In messages and documentation, the term service processor refers to the baseboard management controller or the optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine. v IBM Director IBM Director is a workgroup-hardware-management tool that you can use to centrally manage IBM System x and xSeries servers. For more information, see the IBM Director documentation on the IBM Director CD. v IBM X-Architecture technology IBM X-Architecture technology combines proven, innovative IBM designs to make your x86-processor-based server powerful, scalable, and reliable. For more information, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/xseries/xarchitecture/ enterprise/index.html. - Active™ Memory The Active Memory feature improves the reliability of memory through memory scrubbing and online-spare memory. Online-spare memory disables a failed pair of DIMMs from the server configuration and activates a pair of online-spare DIMMs. Memory scrubbing is an automatic daily test of all the system memory that detects and reports memory errors that might be developing, before they cause a server outage. - Large system-memory capacity The server supports up to 128 GB of system memory. The memory controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to 32 industry-standard PC2-5300, 667 megahertz (MHz), 1.8 V, 240-pin, registered, double-data-rate (DDR) II, synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). v IBM ServerGuide™ Setup and Installation CD The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD that comes with the server (standard on some models only) 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 51. v Integrated network support The server comes with two integrated Broadcom 5708 dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers, which support connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. For more information, see "Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllers" on page 54. 4 IBM System x3755 Type 8877: User's Guide
