v Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability
The hot-swap server models support a maximum of fourteen 3.5-inch hot-swap
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives or hot-swap Serial ATA (SATA) hard
disk drives.
With the hot-swap feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives
without turning off the server.
v Light path diagnostics
Light path diagnostics provides LEDs to help you diagnose problems. For more
information about the light path diagnostics, see "Light path diagnostics" on
page 122
v PCI adapter capabilities
Based on the server configuration, the server may possibly support up to three
PCI expansion slots. See "Installing an adapter on the PCI riser-card assembly"
on page 46 for detailed information.
v Active Energy Manager
The IBM 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, including the required levels
of IBM Systems Director and Active Energy Manager, see the IBM Systems
Director Information Center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/
director/v6r1x/index.jsp?topic=/director_6.1/fqm0_main.html, or see
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/software/director/resources.html.
v Redundant connection
The IMM2 provides failover capability to a redundant Ethernet connection with
the applicable application installed. If a problem occurs with the primary
Ethernet connection, all Ethernet traffic that is associated with the primary
connection is automatically switched to the optional redundant Ethernet
connection. If the applicable device drivers are installed, this switching occurs
without data loss and without user intervention.
v Redundant cooling and optional power capabilities
The server supports a maximum of two 750-watt or 900-watt hot-swap power
supplies and three dual-motor non hot-swap fans, which provide redundancy
for a typical configuration. The redundant cooling by the fans in the server
enables continued operation if one of the fans fails. The server comes with one
750-watt or 900-watt hot-swap power supply and three non hot-swap fans.
Note: You cannot mix 750-watt and 900-watt power supplies in the server.
v ServeRAID support
The ServeRAID adapter provides hardware redundant array of independent
disks (RAID) support to create configurations. The standard RAID adapter
provides RAID levels 0 and 1. An optional RAID adapter is available for
purchase.
v Systems-management capabilities
The server comes with an integrated management module II (IMM2). When the
IMM2 is used with the systems-management software that comes with the
server, you can manage the functions of the server locally and remotely. The
IMM2 also provides system monitoring, event recording, and network alert
capability. The system-management connector on the rear of the server is
dedicated to the IMM2. The dedicated system-management connector provides
