System-management capabilities
Your server comes with an Advanced System Management Processor on the
system board. This processor, in conjunction with the systems-management
software provided with your server, allows you to manage the functions of the
server locally and remotely. The Advanced System Management Processor
also provides system monitoring, event recording, and dial-out alert capability.
Note: The Advanced System Management Processor is sometimes referred to
as the service processor.
Refer to the information provided with the systems-management software for
more information.
Integrated network environment support
Your server comes with an Ethernet controller on the system board. This
Ethernet controller has an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps
networks. The server automatically selects between 10BASE-T and
100BASE-TX. The controller provides full-duplex (FDX) capability, which allows
simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet local area
network (LAN).
Redundant network-interface card
The addition of an optional, redundant 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 this primary
connection is automatically switched to the redundant NIC. This switching
occurs without data loss and without user intervention.
IBM ServerGuide CDs

The ServerGuide CDs included with your server provide programs to help you
set up your server and install the network operating system (NOS). The
ServerGuide program detects the hardware options installed and provides the
correct configuration program and device drivers. For more information, see
the ServerGuide topic provided on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.
Your server is designed to be cost-effective, powerful, and flexible. It uses
peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus architecture to provide compatibility
with a wide range of existing hardware devices and software applications.
As always, your IBM server meets stringent worldwide certifications for power,
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and safety.
