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 74.
v IBM Systems Director DVD
IBM 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, IBM Systems Director supports multiple operating
systems and virtualization technologies for IBM and non-IBM x86 platforms. For
more information, see the IBM Systems Director documentation on the IBM
Systems Director DVD and "IBM Systems Director" on page 13.
v Integrated Management Module II (IMM2)
The Integrated Management module II (IMM2) combines service processor
functions, video controller, and remote presence and blue-screen capture features
in a single chip. The IMM2 provides advanced service-processor control,
monitoring, and alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a
threshold or if a system component fails, the IMM lights LEDs to help you
diagnose the problem, records the error in the IMM2 event log, and alerts you to
the problem. Optionally, the IMM2 also provides a virtual presence capability for
remote server management capabilities. The IMM2 provides remote server
management through the following industry-standard interfaces:
– Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) version 2.0
– Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 3.0
– Common Information Model (CIM)
– Web browser
For additional information, see "Using the integrated management module II"
on page 83 and http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/

v Integrated network support
The server comes with an integrated 4-port (2 ports by default, 2 ports by
upsell) Gigabit Ethernet controller, which supports connection to a 10 Mbps, 100
Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. For more information, see "Configuring the
Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 87.
v Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
This integrated security chip performs cryptographic functions and stores
private and public secure keys. It provides the hardware support for the Trusted
Computing Group (TCG) specification. You can download the software to
support the TCG specification, when the software is available. See
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/xseries/scalable_family.html for details
about the TPM implementation. You can enable TPM support through the Setup
utility under the System Security menu choice (see"Using the Setup utility" on
page 75).
v Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability
The server can support a maximum of eight 2.5-inch drives or four 3.5-inch
drives. The server supports 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA hard disk drives, or
3.5-inch simple-swap SATA or hot-swap SAS/SATA hard disk drives.
With the hot-swap feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives
without turning off the server.
