What your server offers

The server uses the following features and technologies.
• 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://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/director/pubs/index.jsp, or
see http://www.ibm.com/systems/software/director/resources.html.
• Dynamic System Analysis (DSA)
The server comes with the Lenovo Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Preboot diagnostic program stored
in the integrated USB memory on the server. 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 II (IMM2) 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 144.
• Features on Demand software Ethernet support
The server provides Features on Demand software Ethernet support. You can purchase a Features on
Demand software upgrade activation key for Fiber Channel over Ethernet and iSCSI storage protocols
that is provided through the integrated Ethernet controller. For more information, see "Enabling Features
on Demand RAID software" on page 118.
• Features on Demand software RAID support
The server provides Features on Demand software RAID support for RAID levels 5, 6, 50, and 60 upgrade.
Features on Demand software RAID upgrade is integrated into the Integrated Management Module II
(IMM2). For more information, see "Enabling Features on Demand RAID software" on page 118.
