v If Autostart is enabled, insert the CD into the CD or DVD drive. The

Documentation Browser starts automatically.

v If Autostart is disabled or is not enabled for all users, use one of the following

procedures: – If you are using a Windows operating system, insert the CD into the CD or

DVD drive and click Start > Run. In the Open field, type:

e:\win32.bat

where e is the drive letter of the CD or DVD drive, and click OK.

– If you are using Red Hat Linux, insert the CD into the CD or DVD drive;

then, run the following command from the /mnt/cdrom directory:

sh runlinux.sh

Select the server from the Product menu. The Available Topics list displays all the documents for the server. Some documents might be in folders. A plus sign (+) indicates each folder or document that has additional documents under it. Click the plus sign to display the additional documents.

When you select a document, a description of the document is displayed under

Topic Description. To select more than one document, press and hold the Ctrl key

4 System x3100 M5 Type 5457: Installation and Service Guide

while you select the documents. Click View Book to view the selected document or documents in Acrobat Reader or xpdf. If you selected more than one document, all the selected documents are opened in Acrobat Reader or xpdf.

To search all the documents, type a word or word string in the Search field and click Search. The documents in which the word or word string appears are listed in order of the most occurrences. Click a document to view it, and press Crtl+F to use the Acrobat search function, or press Alt+F to use the xpdf search function within the document.

What your server offers

The server uses the following features and technologies.

v Integrated management module II (IMM2)

The integrated management module II (IMM2) is the second generation of the IMM. The IMM2 is the common management controller for IBM System x hardware. The IMM2 consolidates multiple management functions in a single chip on the server system board.

Some of the features that are unique to the IMM2 are enhanced performance, expanded compatibility with blade servers, higher-resolution remote video, expanded security options, and Feature on Demand enablement for hardware and firmware options.

For additional information, see “Using the Integrated Management Module II (IMM2)” on page 105 and the Integrated Management Module II User’s Guide at http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=migr-

5086346.

v UEFI-compliant server firmware

The IBM System x Server Firmware offers several features, including Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) version 2.1 compliance, enhanced reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) capabilities, and basic input/output system (BIOS) compatibility support. UEFI replaces the legacy BIOS. UEFI defines a standard interface between the operating system, platform firmware and external devices, and offers capabilities that far exceeds that of the legacy BIOS.

The server design combines the UEFI capabilities and features with legacy BIOS compatibility. The server is capable of booting UEFI-compliant operating systems, BIOS-based operating systems, and BIOS-based adapters as well as UEFI-compliant adapters.

Note: The server does not support DOS (Disk Operating System).
