What your server offers

Your server uses the following features and technologies:

v Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) adapter

Your server comes with an integrated AGP graphics adapter. This high-performance adapter supports high resolutions and includes many performance-enhancing features for your operating-system environment.

v IBM Director

IBM Director is a workgroup-hardware-management tool that you can use to centrally manage SmartServer.. For more information about IBM Director, see the IBM Director User’s Guide on the IBM Director CD.

v Enterprise X-Architecture technology

X-Architecture technology combines proven, innovative IBM designs to make your Intel-processor-based server powerful, scalable, and reliable. For more information, go to http://www.sec.co.kr/server.

– Active

The Active Memory feature improves the reliability of memory through memory mirroring, memory scrubbing, and the Memory ProteXion information, see “Active Memory” on page 8.

– Large system-memory capacity

The memory bus supports up to 64 GB of system memory. The memory controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to 32 industry-standard PC1600, 133 megahertz (MHz), 3.3 V, 168-pin, registered, double-data-rate (DDR), synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).

– Memory ProteXion

The Memory ProteXion feature provides the equivalent of a hot-spare drive in a RAID array. It is based in the memory controller, and it enables the server to sense when a chip on a DIMM has failed and to route the data around the failed chip.

– XceL4

The XceL4 Server Accelerator Cache provides up to 64MB of external Level-4 cache per SMP Expansion Module, which increases memory bandwidth and reduces access time through PCI-X, Ethernet, SCSI, and Fibre Channel interfaces.

v ServerGuide

The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD that comes with your server provides programs to help you set up your server and install the operating system. The ServerGuide program detects installed hardware options 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 25.

Chapter 1. Introducing the SmartServer 370 5

v Integrated network support

Your server comes with an integrated Broadcom 5704 Dual Gigabit Ethernet controller, which supports connection to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps network. For more information, see “Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller”

on page 29.

v Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability

Your server supports up to two 25.4-mm (1-inch) 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 Light Path Diagnostics feature

The Light Path Diagnostics feature provides LEDs to help you diagnose problems. For more information, see the section about the Light Path Diagnostics feature in the Installation Guide.

v Redundant connection

The intergrated dual Giagabit Ethernet ports provide a failover capability. If a problem occurs with the primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet traffic associated with the primary connection is automatically switched to the secondary connection. If the appropriate device drivers are installed, this switching occurs without data loss and without user intervention.

v Redundant cooling and power capabilities

The redundant cooling of the fans in your server enable continued operation if one of the fans fails. Your server comes with two 550-watt hot-swap power supplies, which provide redundant power for many server configurations. If the average load on your server is less than 550 watts and a problem occurs with one of the power supplies, the other power supply can meet the power requirements.

v Scalable partitions

Your server is scalable and can be connected to another server so that you can share resources between servers.

™

v ServeRAID

support

Your server supports ServeRAID adapters to create redundant array of independent disks (RAID) configurations.

v Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)

Your server supports up to eight Intel Xeon microprocessors (sixteen in a 16-way configuration). The server comes with two microprocessor. You can install additional microprocessors to enhance performance.

v Systems-management capabilities

The server comes with a Remote Supervisor Adapter installed. The adapter and the systems-management software that comes with your server enable you to manage the functions of the server locally and remotely. The Remote Supervisor Adapter also provides system monitoring, event recording, and dial-out alert capability.

Chapter 1. Introducing the SmartServer 370 7

Active Memory

Active™ Memory is an feature that improves the reliability of memory through memory mirroring, memory scrubbing, and the Memory ProteXion™ feature.

Memory scrubbing and Memory ProteXion

Memory scrubbing tests the memory at regular intervals to detect and report potential memory errors before they can cause server outages.

If a detected error is recoverable, the Memory ProteXion feature corrects the error and rewrites the data to another memory location on the same DIMM. The error is logged in the error log so that you can determine whether preventive maintenance is necessary.

If there are not sufficient undamaged memory locations that the data can be rewritten to, the error is unrecoverable. Other conditions can also cause unrecoverable errors. If a detected error is unrecoverable, LEDs on the Light Path Diagnostics panel are lit to indicate the failing DIMM.

You do not have to enable memory mirroring to use memory scrubbing and the Memory ProteXion feature.

Memory mirroring

Memory mirroring stores data in memory port 1 and memory port 2 simultaneously. To support memory mirroring, you must install identical dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) in memory port 1 and memory port 2. For more information, see the section about installing memory modules in the Option Installation Guide on the Documentation CD.

IBM Director

To enable memory mirroring through the Configuration/Setup Utility program, select Advanced Setup from the main menu, and select Memory Settings. For more information about using the Configuration/Setup Utility program, see Chapter 2, “Configuring the server”, on page 17.

Note: To use the hot-add memory feature memory mirroring must be disabled in

the BIOS code.

With IBM Director, a network administrator can:

v View the hardware configuration of remote systems, in detail v Monitor the usage and performance of critical components, such as

microprocessors, disks, and memory

v Centrally manage individual or large groups of SAMSUNG and non-SAMSUNG

Intel-based servers, desktop computers, workstations, and mobile computers on a variety of platforms

IBM Director provides a comprehensive entry-level workgroup hardware manager. Key features include:

v Advanced self-management capabilities for maximum system availability v Multiple operating-system platform support, including Windows 2000, Windows

XP Professional, Novell NetWare, Linux, and Caldera OpenUNIX

8 User’s Guide

v Support for SAMSUNG and non-SAMSUNG servers, desktop computers,

workstations, and mobile computers

v Support for systems-management industry standards v Integration into leading workgroup and enterprise systems-management

environments

v Ease of use, training, and setup IBM Director also provides an extensible platform that supports advanced server

tools that are designed to reduce the total cost of managing and supporting networked systems. By deploying IBM Director, you can achieve reductions in ownership costs through:

v Reduced downtime v Increased productivity of IT personnel and users v Reduced service and support costs

For more information about IBM Director, see the IBM Director CD that comes with your server, the IBM Director publications on the CD.
