subsystem. XceL4 Server Accelerator Cache also enables speedier access to

memory for the PCI-X I/O, Gigabit Ethernet, SCSI and Fibre Channel interfaces,

yielding better overall system utilization, and therefore higher throughput.

The light path diagnostics feature provides LEDs to assist in isolating problems

with the server. A light on the operator information panel is lit if an unusual

condition or a problem occurs. If this happens, you can look at the LEDs inside

the Light Path Diagnostic drawer and those visible through the cover of the SMP

Expansion module to isolate the cause. Under some circumstances, you might

need to remove the cover and view LEDs on the printed circuit boards to pinpoint

the source of a problem.

The server comes with a Remote Supervisor Adapter installed in a dedicated

PCI-X slot. This adapter, in conjunction with the systems-management software

provided with the server, enables you to manage the functions of the server both

locally and remotely. The Remote Supervisor Adapter also provides system

monitoring, event recording, and dial-out alert capability.

The server comes with an integrated Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet controller. This

Ethernet controller has an interface for connecting to 10/100/1000-Mbps

networks. The server automatically selects between 10BASE-T and

100/1000BASE-TX environments. The controller provides full-duplex (FDX)

capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the

Ethernet local area network (LAN). This controller supports Wake on LAN

technology.

The ServerGuide

CD that is included with the server provides programs to help

you set up the server and install the network operating system (NOS). The

ServerGuide program detects the hardware options that are installed and

provides the correct configuration programs and device drivers.

Note: If the server model came with an operating system installed, such as

Microsoft

Windows
