ThinkServer TS460 User Guide and Hardware Maintenance Manual
• Server locks (see "Server locks" on page 19)
• Administrator password and power-on password to help protect
unauthorized access to the server (see "Using passwords" on page 40)
• ThinkServer Trusted Platform Module (TPM), which is a security chip, to
help enhance server security
• Hot-swap redundant power supplies to help avoid significant interruption
to the operation of the system when a power supply fails (available on
some models)
• Intrusion switch that informs you through an event in the system event log
(SEL) when the server cover is not properly installed or closed
• Ability to store the power-on self-test (POST) hardware test results
• BIOS Setup Utility program
The BIOS Setup Utility program helps you view the server information and
configure the server in the pre-operating system environment. See "Using
the Setup Utility program" on page 37.
• Hot-swap feature
Some models support hot-swap storage drives and hot-swap redundant
power supplies. With the hot-swap feature, you can install, remove, or
replace a storage drive or a failing power supply without turning off the
server.
• Preboot Execution Environment (PXE)
The Intel PXE technology enables you to start your computers, load an
operating system, or deploy executable images from a remote server by
using a network interface. The operation can be done independently of
local data storage devices (such as HDDs) or installed operating systems.
• Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID)
Your server supports onboard SATA software RAID. If a required RAID
card is installed, your server also supports advanced SATA/SAS hardware
RAID configurations. For detailed information, see "Configuring RAID" on
page 45.
• Status light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and diagnostic LEDs
For more information about the LEDs for your server, refer to the related
topics in "Component locations" on page 14.
• Software programs
For more information about the software programs, see "Software
programs" on page 12.
• TMM (also known as BMC) and Intelligent Platform Management Interface
(IPMI) 2.0
The system board platform management subsystem is based on the
integrated TMM features. The TMM is a management chip that is
integrated on the system board of your server. With the TMM, no matter
what condition the server operating system is in and no matter if the server
is on or off, as long as the server is connected to network and an ac power
source, the interaction with the TMM-controlled servers can be achieved
through system network. The user can obtain the server hardware health
information and system event log (SEL), and is able to conduct the
operations including turning on or off the server, restarting the server, and
so on. This part of server management is independent of the operating
system and is called out-of-band management.
The system board platform management subsystem consists of the
integrated TMM, communication buses, sensors, the BIOS, and server
management firmware. The subsystem is responsible for error reporting,
