What your server offersThe server uses the following features and technologies:v Active Energy ManagerThe IBM Active Energy Manager solution is an IBM Systems Director extensionthat measures and reports server power consumption as it occurs. This enablesyou to monitor power consumption in correlation to specific softwareapplication programs and hardware configurations. You can obtain themeasurement values through the systems-management interface and view them,using IBM Systems Director. For more information, including the required levelsof IBM Systems Director and Active Energy Manager, see the IBM SystemsDirector documentation on the IBM Systems Director DVD, or seehttp://www.ibm.com/systems/software/director/aem/index.html/.v Dynamic System Analysis (DSA)The server comes with the IBM Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Prebootdiagnostic program stored in the integrated USB memory on the server. DSAcollects 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 creates a DSA log, which is a chronologically ordered merge of thesystem-event log (as the IPMI event log), the integrated management module(IMM) event log (as the ASM event log), and the operating-system event logs.You can send the DSA log as a file to IBM Support or view the information as atext file or HTML file.Two editions of Dynamic System Analysis are available: DSA Portable and DSAPreboot. For more information about both editions, see “DSA editions” on page170.v Features on Demand software Ethernet supportThe server provides Features on Demand software Ethernet support. You canpurchase a Features on Demand software upgrade activation key for FiberChannel over Ethernet and iSCSI storage protocols that is provided through theintegrated Emulex BE3 Ethernet controller. For more information, see “EnablingFeatures on Demand Ethernet software” on page 139.v Features on Demand software RAID supportThe server provides Features on Demand software RAID support for RAIDlevels 5, 6, 50, and 60 upgrade. Features on Demand software RAID upgrade isintegrated into the integrated management module II (IMM2). For moreinformation, see “Enabling Features on Demand RAID software” on page 140.v IBM next generation technologyIBM next generation technology systems combine proven, innovative IBMdesigns to make your x86-processor-based server powerful and reliable. Formore information, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/xseries/xarchitecture/enterprise/index.html.v IBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation CDThe ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, which you can download from theweb, provides programs to help you set up the server and install a Windowsoperating system. The ServerGuide program detects installed optional hardwaredevices and provides the correct configuration programs and device drivers. Formore information about the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, see “Using theServerGuide Setup and Installation CD” on page 125.v IBM Systems Director DVDIBM Systems Director is a platform-management foundation that streamlines theway you manage physical and virtual systems in a heterogeneous environment.Chapter 1.
