What your server offersThe server uses the following features and technologies:v Integrated Management ModuleThe Integrated Management module (IMM) combines service processorfunctions, video controller, and remote presence and blue-screen capture featuresin a single chip. The IMM provides advanced service-processor control,monitoring, and alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds athreshold or if a system component fails, the IMM lights LEDs to help youdiagnose the problem, records the error in the IMM event log, and alerts you tothe problem. Optionally, the IMM also provides a virtual presence capability forremote server management capabilities. The IMM provides remote servermanagement through the following industry-standard interfaces:– Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) version 2.0– Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 3– Common Information Model (CIM)– Web browserFor additional information, see “Using the integrated management module” onpage 142 and http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5079770&brandind=5000008.v UEFI-compliant server firmwareThe IBM System x Server Firmware (server 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 legacy BIOS and defines a standardinterface between the operating system, platform firmware, and external devices.UEFI-compliant System x servers are capable of booting UEFI-compliantoperating systems, BIOS-based operating systems, and BIOS-based adapters aswell as UEFI-compliant adapters. For more information about UEFI-compliantfirmware, 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 IBM Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) PrebootThe server comes with the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Preboot diagnosticprogram stored in the integrated USB memory on the server. DSA Prebootcollects and analyzes system information to aid in diagnosing server problems,as well as offering a rich set of diagnostic tests of the major components of theserver. DSA Preboot collects the following information about the server:– Drive health information– Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors– Installed hardware, including PCI and USB information– Light path diagnostics status– Microprocessor, input/out hub, and UEFI error logs– Network interfaces and settings– RAID controller configuration– Scalability link status– Service processor (integrated management module) status and configuration– System configuration10 System x3690 X5 Types 7147, 7148, 7149, and 7192: Installation and User's Guide
