v Remote presence capability and blue-screen capture
The remote presence and blue-screen capture features are integrated functions of the integrated
management module (IMM) and are available with the purchase of the optional IBM Virtual Media
Key. A virtual media key is required to enable the remote presence and blue-screen capture features.
The remote presence feature provides the following functions:
– Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1280 x 1024, regardless of the system state
– Remotely accessing the server, using the keyboard and mouse from a remote client
– Mapping the DVD drive, diskette drive, and USB flash drive on a remote client, and mapping ISO
and diskette image files as virtual drives that are available for use by the server
– Uploading a diskette image to the IMM memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive
The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM restarts the server
when the IMM detects an operating-system hang condition. A system administrator can use the
blue-screen capture to assist in determining the cause of the hang condition.
See"Using the remote presence capability and blue-screen capture" on page 108 for additional
information.
v Large system-memory capability
The memory bus supports up to 32 GB of memory when registered DIMMs are installed. The server
supports up to 16 GB if unbuffered DIMMs are installed. The memory controller supports error
correcting code (ECC) for up to six industry-standard PC3-8500 or PC3-10600R-999, 1066 and 1333
MHz, DDR3 (third-generation double-data-rate), registered or unbuffered, synchronous dynamic
random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).
v Integrated network support
The server comes with an integrated Intel Gigabit Ethernet controller, which supports connection to a
10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. For more information, see "Configuring the Gigabit
Ethernet controllers" on page 110.
v Integrated Trust Platform Module
This integrated security chip performs cryptographic functions and stores private and public secure
keys. It provides the hardware support for the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) specification.
v Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability
The server supports a maximum of four 2.5-inch hot-swap Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives,
two 3.5-inch simple-swap Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drives, or two 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS or SATA
hard disk drives, depending on the server model.
With the hot-swap feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives without turning off the
server.
v PCI card capabilities
The server has two PCI interface slots (one supports low-profile cards and one supports half-length,
full-height cards). Both slots can support PCI Express PCI cards.
v RAID support
™
The ServeRAID
controller provides hardware redundant array of independent disks (RAID) support.
The standard RAID controller provides RAID levels 0, 1, and 1E. Optional RAID PCI controllers are
available for purchase that provide additional RAID levels.
v Systems-management capabilities
The server comes with an Integrated Management Module (IMM). When the IMM is used with the
systems-management software that comes with the server, you can manage the functions of the server
locally and remotely. The IMM also provides system monitoring, event recording, and network alert
capability. The systems-management connector provides additional security by physically separating
the management network traffic from the production network. You can use the Setup Utility to
configure the server to use a dedicated systems-management network or a shared network.
v TCP/IP offload engine (TOE) support
