The Active Energy Manager solution is an IBM Systems Director plug-in 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, including the required levels of IBM Systems
Director and Active Energy Manager, see the IBM Systems Director Information
Center at http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/director/pubs/index.jsp?topic=

v Dynamic System Analysis (DSA)
The server comes with the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Preboot diagnostic
program. DSA collects and analyzes system information to aid in diagnosing
server problems, as well as offering a rich set of diagnostic tests of the major
components of the server. DSA creates a DSA log, which is a chronologically
ordered merge of the system-event log (as the IPMI event log), the integrated
management module (IMM) event log (as the ASM event log), and the
operating-system event logs. You can send the DSA log as a file to Lenovo
Support or view the information as a text file or HTML file.
Two editions of Dynamic System Analysis are available: DSA Portable and DSA
Preboot. For more information about both editions, see "DSA editions" on page
145.
v Features on Demand
If a Features on Demand feature is integrated in the server or in an optional
device that is installed in the server, you can purchase an activation key to
activate the feature. For information about Features on Demand, see

ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
v
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 100.

v IBM Systems Director
IBM Systems Director is a platform-management foundation that streamlines the
way you manage physical and virtual systems in a heterogeneous environment.
By using industry standards, IBM Systems Director supports multiple operating
systems and virtualization technologies. For more information, see the IBM
Systems Director Information Center at http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/

v Integrated Management Module II (IMM2)
The integrated management module II (IMM2) combines service processor
functions, video controller, and remote presence and blue-screen capture features
in a single chip. The IMM provides advanced service-processor control,
monitoring, and alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a
threshold or if a system component fails, the IMM lights LEDs to help you
diagnose the problem, records the error in the IMM event log, and alerts you to
the problem. Optionally, the IMM also provides a virtual presence capability for
remote server management capabilities. The IMM provides remote server
management through the following industry-standard interfaces:
– Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) version 2.0
