IBM 71453RU What your server offers, UEFI-compliant server firmware, Integrated management module

Table 2. Features and specifications (continued)

Scalability and memory expansion:

vEight-socket scalability option uses 4 QPI external cables

vMulti-node configurations require 4 microprocessors in each node

vMAX5 memory expansion module option uses four QPI ports Note: When you add an optional memory expansion module to your server configuration and you plan to use the optional USB flash device with VMware EXSi embedded hypervisor software, see the documentation that comes with the USB flash device and the operation system installation instructions for installing VMware ESXi (or ESX, depending on your enviroment) on your server at the IBM websight at http://www.ibm.com/systems/ support/. The documentation provides additional installation and configuration information that you need to follow before you use the memory expansion module.

What your server offers

The server uses the following features and technologies:

vUEFI-compliant server firmware

IBM UEFI firmware offers several features, including Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) 2.1 compliance; Active Energy Manager technology; enhanced reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) capabilities; and basic input/output system (BIOS) compatibility support. UEFI replaces the BIOS and

defines a standard interface between the operating system, platform firmware, and external devices. UEFI-compliant System x® servers are 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.

For more information about UEFI, go to http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5083207 &brandind=5000008.

vIntegrated management module

The integrated management module (IMM) combines service processor functions, video controller, and remote presence and blue-screen capture features in a single chip. The IMM provides advanced service processor control, monitoring, and alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a
