Chapter 3. What is included with your server

The TD200 server package includes the server, power cords, and the ThinkServer Documentation DVD.

1 Server 2 Shipgroup box containing power cords and theThinkServer Documentation DVD

Features and technologies

The server uses the following features and technologies:

v Integrated Management Module

The Integrated Management Module (IMM) combines service processor functions, video controller, and (when an optional virtual media key is installed) remote presence function 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 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 – Common Information Model (CIM) – Web browser For additional information, see “Using the integrated management module” on

page 155.

v UEFI-compliant server firmware

The UEFI-compliant 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 Disk Operating System (DOS).

v Preboot diagnostics program

The preboot diagnostics programs are stored on the integrated USB memory. They collect and analyze system information to aid in diagnosing server problems. The diagnostics programs collect the following information about the server:

– System configuration – Network interfaces and settings – Installed hardware – EasyLED status – Service processor status and configuration – Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI (formerly called BIOS) configuration – Hard disk drive health – RAID controller configuration – Event logs for RAID controllers and service processors The diagnostics programs create a merged log that includes events from all

collected logs. The information is collected into a file that you can send to service and support. Additionally, you can view the information locally through a generated text report file. You can also copy the log to a removable media and view the log from a Web browser.

For additional information about diagnostics, see the Hardware Maintenance Manual.

v High-performance graphics controller

The server comes with an onboard high-performance graphics controller that supports high resolutions and includes many performance-enhancing features for the operating-system environment.

v Integrated network support

The server comes with an integrated dual-port Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet controller, which supports connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. For more information, see “Enabling the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Utility program” on page 151.

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 capabilities

Some hot-swap server models support eight slim-high, 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives or four 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives (depending on the model). 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 supports up to 48 GB (reduced to 24 GB in mirroring mode) of system memory. The memory controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to 12 industry-standard PC3-10600R-999 (single-rank or dual-rank), 800, 1067, and 1333 MHz, DDR3 (third-generation double-data-rate), registered, synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).

v Memory mirroring

8 ThinkServer TD200 Types 3724, 3808, 3809, 3815, 3817, 3824, 3826, 3836: Installation and User Guide

Some models support memory mirroring. Memory mirroring replicates and stores data on two pairs of DIMMs within two channels (channel 0 and 1) simultaneously. If a failure occurs, the memory controller switches from the primary pair of memory DIMMs to the backup pair of DIMMs. To support memory mirroring, you must install a pair of DIMMs at a time. One DIMM must be in channel 0, and the mirroring DIMM must be in the same slot in channel 1. For more information, see 91.

v RAID support

The ServeRAID adapter provides hardware redundant array of independent disks (RAID) support to create configurations. The standard RAID adapter provides RAID levels 0, 1, and 1E. The optional RAID adapters are available for purchase and provide RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. See “Installing an adapter” on page 96 and “Using the LSI Configuration Utility program” on page 143 for more information about supported adapters and creating RAID arrays.

v Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)

The server supports up to two Intel Xeon microprocessors. Each microprocessor provides symmetric multiprocessing capability. When you install the second microprocessor, this will enhance the performance of the server.

v Systems-management capabilities

The server comes with an integrated management module (IMM). When the IMM is used with the systems-management software that comes with the server, you can manage the functions of the server locally and remotely. The IMM also provides system monitoring, event recording, and network alert capability. The systems-management connector on the rear of the server is dedicated to the IMM. The dedicated systems-management connector provides additional security by physically separating the management network traffic from the production network. You can use the Setup Utility to configure the server to use a dedicated systems-management network or a shared network.

v TCP/IP offload engine (TOE) support

The Ethernet controllers in 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. The Windows operating system requires that the Windows Scalable Network Pack (SNP) be installed for TOE support.

Specifications

Note: As of the date of this document, the Linux operating system does not

support TOE.

The following information is a summary of the features and specifications for machine types 3724, 3808, 3809, 3815, 3817, 3824, 3826, 3836. Depending on the server model, some features might not be available, or some specifications might not apply.
