System x3850 X6 and x3950 X6 Types 3837 and 3839: Installation and Service Guide
The ServerGuide Setup and Installation DVD, 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 DVD, see "Using
the ServerGuide Setup and Installation DVD" on page 124.
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 21.
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 IMM 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 IMM event log, and alerts you to
the problem. The IMM also provides a virtual presence capability for remote
server management capabilities. The IMM 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" on
page 137 and the Integrated Management Module II User's Guide at

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 126).
The server can support a maximum of eight 2.5-inch drives or sixteen 1.8-inch
drives, or a combination of both 2.5-inch and 1.8-inch drives when you use the
supported SAS/SATA backplane configurations. For more information about the
drives that the server supports, see "Installing drives" on page 70.
With the hot-swap feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives
without turning off the server.
The server can support up to 6 TB of system memory (when using 64 GB
DIMMs only). Each DDR3 compute book provides 24 dual inline memory
module (DIMM) connectors for up to 1.5 TBs of memory. The server memory
controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to 96 industry-standard
