– System configuration
– Network interfaces and settings
– Installed hardware
– Light path diagnostics status
– Service processor status and configuration
– Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI (formerly BIOS) configuration
– Hard disk drive health
– RAID controller configuration
– Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors
The diagnostic programs create a merged log that includes events from all
collected logs. The information is collected into a file that you can send to IBM
service and support. Additionally, you can view the information locally through
a generated text report file. You can also copy the log to a removable media and
view the log from a Web browser.
For additional information about DSA Preboot diagnostics, see the Problem
Determination and Service Guide on the IBM Documentation CD
v IBM Systems Director
IBM Systems Director is a workgroup-hardware-management tool that you can
use to centrally manage System x and xSeries servers. For more information, see
the IBM Systems Director documentation on the IBM Systems Director CD.
v Active Energy Manager
The Active Energy Manager solution is an IBM Systems Director extension that
measures and reports server power consumption as it occurs. This enables you
to monitor power consumption in correlation to specific software application
programs and hardware configurations. You can obtain the measurement values
through the systems-management interface and view them, using IBM Systems
Director. For more information, see the IBM Director documentation on the IBM
Systems Director CD, or see http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/
director/extensions/actengmrg.html.
v IBM X-Architecture technology
IBM X-Architecture technology combines proven, innovative IBM designs to
make your Intel-processor-based server powerful, scalable, and reliable. For
more information, see http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/director/
extensions/actengmrg.html.

– Active Memory The Active Memory
memory through memory mirroring. Memory mirroring stores data in two
pairs of DIMMs simultaneously.
– Large system-memory capacity
The memory bus supports up to 288 GB of system memory when registered
DIMMs are installed. The server supports up to 48 GB if unbuffered DIMMs
are installed. The memory controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for
up to 18 industry-standard PC3-10600R-999, 800, 1067, and 1333 MHz, DDR3
(third-generation double-data-rate), synchronous dynamic random access
memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).
v IBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, which you can download from the
Web, 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 164.
