Page 24: What Your Server Offers
The server uses the following features and technologies: v UEFI-compliant server firmware IBM System x Server Firmware offers several features, including Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) 2.1 compliance, Active Energy Manager technology, enhanced RAS capabilities, and BIOS compatibility support. UEFI replaces the basic input/output system (BIOS) and defines a standard interface between the operating system, platform firmware, and external devices.
Page 25 – Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors The diagnostic programs create a merged log that includes events from all collected logs. The information is collected into a file that you can send to IBM service and support. Additionally, you can view the information locally through a generated text report file.
Page 26 You can obtain the measurement values through the systems-management interface and view them, using IBM Systems Director. For more information, see the IBM Director documentation on the IBM Systems Director CD, or see http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/director/ extensions/actengmrg.html. v IBM X-Architecture technology IBM X-Architecture technology combines proven, innovative IBM designs to make your Intel-processor-based server powerful, scalable, and reliable.
Page 27: Reliability, Availability, And Serviceability Features
The server contains an integrated management module (IMM) which enables you to manage the functions of the server locally and remotely. The addition of the optional IBM Virtual Media Key provides remote presence and blue-screen capture capability. The IMM also provides system monitoring, event recording, and dial-out alert capability.
