212 IBM eX5 Implementation GuideIn a BladeCenter S chassis, the CFFh I/O expansion card requires a supported switchmodule in bay 2. When used in a BladeCenter S chassis, a maximum of two ports are routedfrom the CFFh I/O expansion card to the switch module in bay 2.See the IBM BladeCenter Interoperability Guide for the latest information about the switchmodules that are supported with each CFFh I/O expansion card at the following website:http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=psg1MIGR-50730165.14 Standard onboard featuresThis section describes the standard onboard features of the HX5 blade server: UEFI Onboard network adapters Integrated systems management processor called Integrated Management Module (IMM) Video controller Trusted Platform Module (TPM)5.14.1 UEFIThe HX5 2-socket uses an integrated Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)next-generation BIOS.The UEFI provides the following capabilities: Human readable event logs; no more beep codes Complete setup solution by allowing adapter configuration function to be moved to UEFI Complete out-of-band coverage by Advanced Settings Utility to simplify remote setupUsing all of the features of UEFI requires an UEFI-aware operating system and adapters.UEFI is fully backward-compatible with BIOS.For more information about UEFI, see the IBM white paper, Introducing UEFI-CompliantFirmware on IBM System x and BladeCenter Servers, which is available at the followingwebsite:http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=psg1MIGR-5083207For the UEFI menu setup, see 8.5, “UEFI settings” on page 396.5.14.2 Onboard network adaptersThe HX5 2-socket includes a dual-port Gigabit Ethernet controller with the followingspecifications: Broadcom BCM5709S dual-port Gigabit Ethernet controller Support for TCP Offload Engine (TOE) Support for failover and load balancing for better throughput and system availability Support for highly secure remote power management using Intelligent PlatformManagement Interface (IPMI) 2.0 Support for Wake on LAN and Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) Support for IPv4 and IPv6
