What your server offers

The server uses the following features and technologies:

v Baseboard management controller

The baseboard management controller (BMC) provides basic service-processor environmental monitoring functions. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, the baseboard management controller lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem. Critical errors are included in the error log. The BMC also provides Serial over LAN (SOL) connectivity.

v IBM Dynamic System Analysis Pre-boot Diagnostic program

The IBM Dynamic System Analysis Pre-boot Diagnostic CD that comes with the server provides a diagnostic program you can use to test the major components of the server. If the Dynamic System Analysis Pre-boot Diagnostic CD did not come with the server you can download the latest version from http://www-304.ibm.com/jct01004c/systems/support/supportsite.wss/ docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-4JTS2T&brandind=5000008

v Dual-core or quad-core processing

The server supports one dual-core or one quad-core Intel microprocessor.

v IBM Director

IBM Director is a workgroup-hardware-management tool that you can use to centrally manage System x servers. For more information, see the IBM Director documentation on the IBM Director CD.

v IBM Enterprise X-Architecture technology

IBM X-Architecture technology combines proven, innovative IBM designs to make your x86-processor-based server powerful, scalable, and reliable. For more information, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/xseries/xarchitecture/ enterprise/index.html.

v Large system-memory capacity

The memory bus supports up to 8 GB of system memory. The memory controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to four industry-standard PC2-5300, 667 MHz, DDR2 (second-generation double-data-rate), unbuffered, synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).

v IBM ServerGuide™ Setup and Installation CD

The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD that comes with the server 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 49.

v Integrated network support

The server comes with two integrated dual-port Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet controllers, which support connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. For more information, see “Configuring the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page 66.

v Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability

The 2.5-inch server models support up to four hot-swap disk drives. The 3.5-inch server models support up to two Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or Serial ATA (SATA) hot-swap hard disk drives. The simple-swap models support up to two SATA simple swap hard disk drives.

Chapter 1. The System x3350 Types 4192 and 4193 server 5

With the hot-swap feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives without turning off the server.

v Light path diagnostics

Light path diagnostics provides LEDs to help you diagnose problems. For more information, see the section about light path diagnostics in the Installation Guide and the Problem Determination and Service Guide.

v PowerExecutive

The IBM PowerExecutive solution is an IBM Director extension that measures and reports server power consumption as it occurs. This enables you to monitor power consumption in correlation to specific software application programs and hardware systems-management interface, and view them using IBM Director. For more information, including the required levels of IBM Director and PowerExecutive, see the IBM Director documentation on the IBM Director CD, or see http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/director/resources/.

v Redundant connection

The addition of an optional network interface card (NIC) provides failover capability to a redundant Ethernet connection. If a problem occurs with the primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet traffic that is associated with the primary connection is automatically switched to the redundant NIC. If the applicable device drivers are installed, this switching occurs without data loss and without user interventions.

v Redundant cooling and optional power capabilities

The server supports a maximum of two 450-watt hot-swap power supplies and four hot-swap fans, which provide redundancy and hot-swap capability for a typical configuration. The redundant cooling of the fans in the server enables continued operation if one of the fans fails. The server comes with one 450-watt hot-swap power supply and four fans. You can order the second optional power supply.

v ServeRAID™ support

The hot-swap models of this server contain an internal SAS controller that supports level 0 and level 1 redundant array of independent disks (RAID) configurations. The server also supports some ServeRAID adapters and other optional devices to create RAID configurations. For a list of supported ServeRAID devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/ compat/us/.

v Systems-management capabilities

The server comes with a baseboard management controller (BMC). When the BMC is used with the systems-management software that comes with the server, you can manage the functions of the server locally and remotely. The BMC also provides system monitoring, event recording, and network alert capability.

An optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine can be used to obtain enhanced systems-management capabilities, in addition to those of the embedded BMC. The Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, provides a dedicated Ethernet connection at the rear of the server.

v TCP/IP offload engine (TOE) support

The optional Ethernet adapter options on the server support TOE, which is a technology that offloads the TCP/IP flow from the microprocessor and I/O subsystem to increase the speed of the TCP/IP flow. When an operating system that supports TOE is running on the server and TOE is enabled, the server supports TOE operation. See the operating-system documentation for information about enabling TOE.

Server power features

When the server is connected to an ac power source but is not turned on, the operating system does not run, and all core logic except for the service processor (the baseboard management controller or optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine) is shut down; however, the server can respond to requests from the service processor, such as a remote request to turn on the server. The power-on LED flashes to indicate that the server is connected to ac power but is not turned on.

Turning on the server

Approximately 20 seconds after the server is connected to ac power, the power-control button becomes active, and one or more fans might start running to provide cooling while the server is connected to power. Yo u can turn on the server and start the operating system by pressing the power-control button.

The server can also be turned on in any of the following ways:

v If a power failure occurs while the server is turned on, the server will restart

automatically when power is restored.

v If you installed an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, the server can

be turned on from the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine user interface.

v If your operating system supports the Wake on LAN feature, the Wake on LAN

feature can turn on the server.

When 4 GB or more of memory (physical or logical) is installed, some

Note:

memory is reserved for various system resources and is unavailable to the operating system. The amount of memory that is reserved for system resources depends on the operating system, the configuration of the server, and the configured PCI options.

Turning off the server

When you turn off the server and leave it connected to ac power, the server can respond to requests from the service processor, such as a remote request to turn on the server. While the server remains connected to ac power, one or more fans might continue to run. To remove all power from the server, you must disconnect it from the power source.

Some operating systems require an orderly shutdown before you turn off the server. See your operating-system documentation for information about shutting down the operating system.
