What your server offersThe server uses the following features and technologies.v Features on DemandIf a Features on Demand feature is integrated in the server or in an optionaldevice that is installed in the server, you can purchase an activation key toactivate the feature. For information about Features on Demand, see/http://www.ibm.com/systems/x/fod/.v Integrated Management Module II The integrated management module II(IMM2) is the second generation of the IMM. The IMM2 is the commonmanagement controller for IBM System x hardware. The IMM2 consolidatesmultiple management functions in a single chip on the server system board.Some of the features that are unique to the IMM2 are enhanced performance,expanded compatibility with blade servers, higher-resolution remote video,expanded security options, and Feature on Demand enablement for hardwareand firmware options.For additional information, see “Using the integrated management module II”on page 99.v UEFI-compliant server firmware IBM System x Server Firmware (serverfirmware) offers several features, including Unified Extensible FirmwareInterface (UEFI) 2.1 compliance; Active Energy Manager technology; enhancedreliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) capabilities; and basicinput/output system (BIOS) compatibility support. UEFI replaces the BIOS anddefines a standard interface between the operating system, platform firmware,and external devices. UEFI-compliant System x servers are capable of bootingUEFI-compliant operating systems, BIOS-based operating systems, andBIOS-based adapters as well as UEFI-compliant adapters.Note: The server does not support DOS (Disk Operating System).v IBM Dynamic System Analysis Preboot diagnostics programs The DynamicSystem Analysis (DSA) Preboot diagnostics programs are stored on theintegrated USB memory. It collects and analyzes system information to aid indiagnosing server problems. The diagnostic programs collect the followinginformation about the server:– System configuration– Network interfaces and settings– Installed hardware– Light path diagnostics status– Service processor status and configuration– Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI (formerly BIOS) configuration– Hard disk drive health– RAID controller configuration– Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processorsThe diagnostic programs create a merged log that includes events from allcollected logs. The information is collected into a file that you can send to IBMservice and support. Additionally, you can view the information locally througha generated text report file. You can also copy the log to a removable media andview the log from a web browser.For additional information about DSA Preboot diagnostics, see the ProblemDetermination and Service Guide on the IBM System x Documentation CDv Multi-core processingChapter 1.
