v Integrated management module 2.1 (IMM2.1)
The integrated management module 2.1 (IMM2.1) 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. Optionally, 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
Some of the features that are unique to the IMM are enhanced performance,
higher-resolution remote video, expanded security options, and Feature on
Demand enablement for hardware and firmware options.

v IBM Enterprise X-Architecture technology
IBM X-Architecture technology combines proven, innovative IBM designs to
make your Intel-processor-based server powerful, scalable, and reliable.
v Integrated network support
The server comes with an integrated quad-port Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet
controller, which supports connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps
network. For more information, see "Configuring the Ethernet controller" on
page 52.
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. You can enable
TPM support through the Setup utility under the System Security menu option.
v Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability
The hot-swap server models support a maximum of twelve 2.5-inch (two located
at the rear) or four 3.5-inch hot-swap Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk
drives or hot-swap Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drives. The simple-swap server
models support a maximum of eight 2.5-inch or four 3.5-inch simple-swap SATA
hard disk drives.
With the hot-swap feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives
without turning off the server.
v Large system-memory capacity
The server can support up to 1536 GB of system memory. The server provides 24
dual inline memory module (DIMM) connectors. The server memory controller
supports error correcting code (ECC) for PC4-12800 (DDR4-1600), PC4-14900
