System x3300 M4 Type 7382: Installation and Service Guide
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 114.
IBM Systems Director is the platform management backbone to achieve Smarter
Computing. An integral component of the IBM Smarter Systems portfolio, IBM
Systems Director enables integration with Tivoli, and third party management
platforms, providing the building block for integrated services management. For
more information, see the IBM Systems Director documentation on the IBM
Systems Director CD and "IBM Systems Director" on page 14.
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 IMM2 lights LEDs to help you
diagnose the problem, records the error in the IMM 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 123 and http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/

The server comes with an Intel Powerville 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 127.
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 115).
The server can support a maximum of sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap HDD or eight
3.5-inch simple-swap or hot-swap HDDs.
With the hot-swap feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives
without turning off the server.
