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 111.
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
through the systems-management interface and view them, using IBM Systems
Director. For more information, including the required levels of IBM Systems
Director and Active Energy Manager, see the IBM Systems Director
documentation on the IBM
Systems Director CD
, or see http://www.ibm.com/
servers/systems/management/director/resources/.
v
Integrated network support
The server comes with an integrated dual-port Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet
controller, which supports connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps
network. For more information, see “Configuring the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet
controller” on page 117.
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 capabilities
Some hot-swap server models support eight or sixteen (depending on your
model) slim-high, 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives or four 3.5-inch hot-swap
