An optional USB flash device with VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor software
is available for purchase. Hypervisor is virtualization software that enables
multiple operating systems to run on a host system at the same time. The USB
flash device installs in USB embedded hypervisor flash device connector on the
low-profile, riser card in PCI riser slot 2 on the system board. See “Using the
embedded hypervisor” on page 143 for additional information.
v Remote presence and blue-screen capture features
The remote presence and blue-screen capture features are integrated functions of
the integrated management module (IMM). The remote presence feature
provides the following functions:
– Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz,
regardless of the system state
– Remotely accessing the server, using the keyboard and mouse from a remote
client
– 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
– Uploading a diskette image to the IMM memory and mapping it to the server
as a virtual drive
The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the
IMM restarts the server when the IMM detects an operating-system hang
condition. A system administrator can use the blue-screen capture feature to
assist in determining the cause of the hang condition.
See “Using the remote presence and blue-screen capture features” on page 145
for additional information.
v Large system-memory capacity
The server can support up to 1 TB of system memory. The server base system
board provides 16 DIMM connectors for up to 256 GB of memory. For additional
memory capacity, an optional 16-DIMM memory tray is available for purchase
that provides up to 256 GB of additional memory, and the optional 32-DIMM
IBM MAX5 for System x memory expansion module is also available for
purchase and provides up to 512 GB of additional memory. For more
information about the MAX5 expansion module, see “IBM MAX5 for System x
memory expansion module” on page 25. The server memory controller supports
error correcting code (ECC) for up to 32 industry-standard PC3-10600R-999 1333
MHz, PC3-12800 1600 MHz, and PC3-8500 1066 MHz (single-rank, dual-rank, or
quad-rank), DDR3 (third-generation double-data-rate), registered, synchronous
dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules
(DIMMs).
v IBM 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 140.
v Integrated network support
The server comes with an integrated dual-port Broadcom BCM5709C
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 146.
