video devices. The integrated graphics controller is located in the Baseboard Management Controller
(BMC) chip on the system board.
Ethernet connectivity
The server comes with an integrated Intel Gigabit Ethernet controller as well as an Ethernet physical layer
(PHY) of the Open Systems Interconnection model (OSI model). They provide the server with the ability to
support two Ethernet connectors on the rear panel with 10 megabits per second (Mbps), 100 Mbps, or 1000
Mbps network connectivity. For more information, see "Rear view of the server" on page 22.
You can install an Ethernet card to enable more Ethernet connectors. However, you must install a device
driver to enable the operating system to recognize the Ethernet connectors. The device drivers are available

Note: The TPM is only available on some models.
– Remote monitoring or control by an administrator to provide protection or help
– Hot-swap redundant power supplies to help avoid significant interruption to the operation of the
system when a power supply fails
• Basic system management features
