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

v Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capabilities

Hot-swap models support up to eight 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.

v Large system-memory capacity

TD100

server supports up to 32 GB (reduced to 16 GB in mirrored mode) of system

The memory . The memory controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to

Chapter 1. The ThinkServer TD100 and TD100x server 5

eight industry-standard, 2-way interleaved, x4 or x8, 1.8 V, 240-pin, double-data-rate 2 (DDR2), PC2-5300, 677 MHz, dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) fully buffered (FBD) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).

TD100x

server supports up to 48 GB (reduced to 24 GB in mirrored mode) of system

The memory. The memory controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to 12 240-pin, DDR1, PC2-5300, SDRAM, 667 MHz, fully buffered DIMMs.

v Memory mirroring

Some models support memory mirroring. Memory mirroring replicates and stores data in DIMMs within two branches simultaneously. To support memory mirroring, you must have at least two pairs of DIMMs installed (a pair in each branch). Pairs of DIMMs that are next to each other (for example, DIMM slot 1 and DIMM slot 4) within the channels of the same branch must be identical pairs of full-buffered, dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). For more information, see “Installing a memory module” on page 28.

v Online-spare memory

Some models support online-sparing memory. Online-spare memory disables a failed rank pair of DIMMs from the system configuration and activates an online-spare rank pair of DIMMs to replace the failed rank pair of DIMMs. For an online-spare pair of DIMMs to be activated, you must enable this feature and have installed an additional pair of DIMMs of the same speed, type, size (or larger), and technology as the failed pair of DIMMs. For more information, see “Installing a memory module” on page 28.

v Redundant power capabilities

Some models support up to two 835-watt power supplies, which provide redundancy and hot-swap capability for a typical configuration. If the maximum load on the server is less than 835 watts and a problem occurs with one of the power supplies, the other power supply can meet the power requirements.

v ServeRAID™ support

Some models support ServeRAID adapters to create redundant array of independent disks (RAID) configurations. Some models also have integrated RAID level-0 and level-1 support.

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 supports an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, which provides service-processor functions in addition to those that the BMC provides. When this adapter is used with the systems-management software that comes with the server, you can manage the functions of the server locally and remotely. The Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine also provides system monitoring, event recording, and dial-out alert capability.

See the documentation that comes with your systems-management software for more information.

Reliability, availability, and serviceability

Three important server design features are reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS). The RAS features help to ensure the integrity of the data that is stored in the server, the availability of the server when you need it, and the ease with which you can diagnose and repair problems.

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 (BMC) or optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine) is shut down; however, the server can respond to remote 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 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 also can 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 your operating system supports the systems-management software for an

optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, the systems-management software 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 peripheral component interconnect (PCI, PCI Express, or PCI-X) options.

Chapter 1. The ThinkServer TD100 and TD100x server 13

Turning off the server

When you turn off the server and leave it connected to ac power, the server can respond to remote requests 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.

Statement 5:

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

v You can turn off the server from the operating system, if your operating system

supports this feature. After an orderly shutdown of the operating system, the server will be turned off automatically.

v You can press the power-control button to start an orderly shutdown of the

operating system and turn off the server, if your operating system supports this feature.

v If the operating system stops functioning, you can press and hold the

power-control button for more than 4 seconds to turn off the server.

v If an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine is installed in the server, the

server can be turned off from the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine user interface.

v The server can turn itself off as an automatic response to a critical system

failure.
