What the computer offers The computer uses the following features and technologies: v PCI Express x16 graphics The computer comes with a graphics adapter installed in the PCI Express x16 slot (slot 1). This high-performance adapter supports high resolutions and includes many performance-enhancing features for the operating-system environment. v Large system-memory capacity The computer supports up to 32 GB of system memory. The memory controller provides error correcting code (ECC) support for up to eight industry-standard PC2-5300, 667 MHz, 1.8 V, 240-pin, double-data-rate 2 (DDR2), fully-buffered, synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). v Systems-management capabilities The computer comes with features that a network administrator or file server can use to remotely manage and control the computer. These features include Wake on LAN®, Remote Administration, IBM Director Agent, and System Migration Assistant. See "Software available on the World Wide Web" on page 6 and "Managing the computer" on page 17 for more information. v Integrated network support The computer comes with an integrated Ethernet controller, which supports connection to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1-Gbps network. For more information, see "Configuring the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 25. The controller supports Wake on LAN and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technologies. v Memory mirroring Some models support memory mirroring. Memory mirroring stores data in two pairs of DIMMs simultaneously. To support memory mirroring, you must have at least two pairs of DIMMs installed, and they must be identical pairs of DIMMs. For more information, see "Installing memory modules" on page 48. v Online-spare memory Some models support online-spare memory. Online-spare memory disables a failed pair of DIMMs from the system configuration and activates an online-spare pair of DIMMs to replace the failed pair of DIMMs. For an online-spare pair of DIMMs to be activated, you must have installed an additional pair of DIMMs of the same speed, type, size (or larger), and technology as the failed pair of DIMMs. For more information, see "Installing memory modules" on page 48. v Symmetric multiprocessing The computer supports up to two Intel Xeon dual-core microprocessors for symmetric multiprocessing (SMP). Software The computer comes with preinstalled Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional or Red Hat Enterprise Linux® Workstation and a variety of software, including application programs, diagnostic tools, and device drivers.
