What your server offers

This section introduces features and technologies the server uses and provides.
• Active Energy Manager
The Active Energy Manager solution is an 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 Systems
Director. For more information, including the required levels of Systems Director and Active Energy
Manager, see the Systems Director Information Center at http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/
director/pubs/index.jsp?topic=%2 Fcom.ibm.director.main.helps.doc%2Ffqm0_main.htmlor see
http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/director/downloads.html.
• 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 186.
• 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 https://fod.lenovo.com/lkms.
• ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
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 143.
• Systems Director
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, Systems Director supports multiple operating systems and virtualization
technologies. For more information, see the Systems Director Information Center at
