of DIMMs. For more information about installing DIMMs for memory mirroring,
see “Installing a memory module” on page 71.
– Large system-memory capacity
The server supports up to a maximum of 384 GB of system memory. The
server supports only industry-standard double-data-rate 3 (DDR3), 1066,
1333, or 1600 MHz, synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM)
registered dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) with error correcting code
(ECC). For further details, see Problem Determination and Service Guide on
the IBM System x Documentation CD.
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 97.
v Integrated network support
The server comes with an integrated 4-port Gigabit Ethernet controller, which
supports connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. In the
initial server configuration, Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2 are activated. To enable
Ethernet 3 and Ethernet 4, a Features on Demand (FoD) key needs to be
installed and activated. For more information, see “Configuring the Gigabit
Ethernet controller” on page 110.
v Integrated 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. See http://www.ibm.com/
servers/eserver/xseries/scalable_family.html for details about the TPM
implementation. You can enable TPM support through the Setup utility under the
System Security menu option.
v Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability
The hot-swap server models support a maximum of fourteen 3.5-inch hot-swap
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives or hot-swap Serial ATA (SATA) hard
disk drives. The simple-swap server models support a maximum of eight 3.5-inch
simple-swap SATA hard disk drives.
With the hot-swap feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives
without turning off the server.
v Light path diagnostics
Light path diagnostics provides LEDs to help you diagnose problems. For more
information about the light path diagnostics, see “Light path diagnostics panel” on
page 16 and the Problem Determination and Service Guide on the IBM System x
Documentation CD.
v PCI adapter capabilities
Based on the server configuration, the server may possibly support up to five PCI
expansion slots. See “Installing an adapter on the PCI riser-card assembly” on
page 61 for detailed information.
v Active Energy Manager
The IBM Active Energy Manager solution is an IBM Systems Director plug-in that
measures and reports server power consumption as it occurs. This enables you
to monitor power consumption in correlation to specific software application
programs and hardware configurations. You can obtain the measurement values
