– Mapping the CD or DVD drive, diskette drive, and USB flash drive on a
remote client, and mapping ISO and diskette image files as virtual drives that
are available for use by the server

v ServeRAID support
A ServeRAID adapter provides hardware redundant array of independent disks
(RAID) support to create configurations. The server comes with an onboard
RAID controller which provides RAID levels 0 and 1. Additional optional RAID
adapters are available for purchase that provide RAID level 5.
v Service Advisor
The server comes with the Service Advisor feature that can collect data about the
system when a the system detects a fault and sends that data to IBM Service for
problem determination. It also includes the call home feature that automatically
calls IBM Service when a problem occurs. The Service Advisor feature is
integrated into the Integrated Management Module (IMM). You will need to
setup and configure the Service Advisor feature before you can use it. For more
information about how to setup and configure the Service Advisor feature, see
the Integrated Management Module User's Guide at http://www.ibm.com/
systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5079770
&brandind=5000008.
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 UEFI-compliant server firmware
The UEFI firmware offers several features, including Unified Extensible
Firmware Interface (UEFI) version 2.1 compliance, Active Energy Management
(AEM) 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. The server is capable of
booting UEFI-compliant operating systems, BIOS-based operating systems, and
BIOS-based adapters as well as UEFI-compliant adapters. For more information
about UEFI-compliant firmware, go to http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/
support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5083207
&brandind=5000008.
Note: The server does not support DOS.
v VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor
An optional USB flash device with VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor software
is available for purchase. Hypervisor is virtualization software that enables
