sparing through the Setup utility, select System Settings > Memory. (Memory sparing and memory mirroring cannot be used together.)

vIBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD

The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, which you can download from the web, provides programs to help you set up the server and install a Windows operating system. The ServerGuide program detects installed optional hardware devices 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 102.

vIntegrated network support

The server comes with an integrated Broadcom 5709 dual Gigabit Ethernet controller, which supports connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. For more information, see “Configuring the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page 108.

vIntegrated 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.

vLarge data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability

The server supports up to eight 1-inch (26 mm) slim-high, 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives that are connected to two SAS backplanes. With the hot-swap feature, you can add, remove, and replace hard disk drives without turning off the server. For more information, see “Installing a hot-swap power supply” on page 52.

vLight path diagnostics

Light path diagnostics provides LEDs to help you diagnose problems. For more information, see the section about light path diagnostics in the Problem Determination and Service Guide.

vPCI Express 2.0 adapter capabilities

The server has six slots for PCI Express 2.0 x8 adapters and one slot for PCI Express x16 adapters. For more information, see “Installing a PCI Express adapter” on page 47.

vActive Energy Manager

The Active Energy Manager solution is an IBM Systems Director extension that measures and reports server power consumption as it occurs. This enables you to monitor power consumption in correlation to specific software applications programs and hardware configurations. You can obtain the measurement values through the systems-management interface and view them, using IBM Systems Director. For more information, see the documentation on the IBM Systems Director DVD, or see http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/director/ extensions/actengmgr.html.

vDynamic System Analysis (DSA) Preboot diagnostic programs

The DSA Preboot diagnostic programs are stored in integrated USB memory and collect and analyze system information to aid in diagnosing server problems. The diagnostic programs collect the following information about the server:

–Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors

–Hard disk drive health

–Installed hardware

–Light path diagnostics status

–Network interfaces and settings

–RAID controller configuration
