IBM eServer xSeries x382 Type 8834: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
IBM X-Architecture technology combines proven, innovative IBM designs to make
your Intel-processor-based server powerful, scalable, and reliable. X-Architecture
design includes Chipkill
hot-swappable power supplies if your server comes with three power supplies
installed, and Predictive Failure Analysis
Your server supports two Intel Itanium 2 microprocessors installed for enhanced
performance and SMP capability.
Your server supports up to two 25.4-mm (1-inch) slim-high, 3.5-inch hot-swap
hard disk drives in the hot-swap bays. With the hot-swap feature, you can add,
remove, or replace hard disk drives without turning off the server.
Some server models provide redundant power capability. Your server comes with
two or three 350-watt hot-swap power supplies. Three power supplies provide
redundant power: if the average load on your server is less than 700 watts and a
problem occurs with one of the power supplies, the remaining two power supplies
can handle the load.
Your server supports up to 16 GB of system memory. The memory controller
provides error correcting code (ECC) support for up to eight industry-standard,
133 MHz, 2.5 V, 184-pin, double-data-rate (DDR), PC2100 registered,
synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory
modules (DIMMs). The memory controller provides Chipkill memory protection if
all DIMMs are type x4. Chipkill memory protection is a technology that protects
the server from a single chip failure on a DIMM.
Your server supports Alert on LAN technology, which provides notification of
changes in the server system even when the computer is turned off. Working
with desktop management interface (DMI) technology, Alert on LAN helps
manage and monitor the hardware and software features of your server.
Alert on LAN generates notifications when an error is detected during POST or
the server is disconnected from the network or disconnected from the electrical
outlet.
Your server supports Serial over LAN technology, which provides advanced
remote management capability. It provides the ability to redirect server serial data
over a LAN without the use of serial concentrators. It also eliminates the need for
serial cabling by internally rerouting serial packets over the LAN. The Serial over
LAN feature enables redirection of both the BIOS and operating system consoles
to a remote client console to provide remote administration and eliminate the
need for a dedicated monitor and keyboard. The Serial over LAN feature does
not require any special client software because it is designed to work with
existing standard Telnet consoles.
