What your server offers
The unique design of your IBM xSeries 240 takes advantage of advancements in
symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), data storage, and memory management. Your
server combines:
Impressive performance using an innovative approach to SMP
Your server supports up to two Pentium III microprocessors. Your server
comes with one microprocessor installed; you can install an additional
microprocessor to enhance performance and provide SMP capability.
Large data-storage and hot-swap capabilities
All models of the server support up to six hot-swap hard disk drives. This
hot-swap feature enables you to remove and replace hard disk drives without
turning off the server.
Hot-plug PCI adapter capabilities
Your server has three hot-plug slots for PCI adapters. This feature is
sometimes referred to as Active PCI
. With operating system support, you can
replace failing hot-plug PCI adapters without turning off the server. If the
hot-add feature is supported by your operating system and the PCI adapter,
you can also add PCI adapters in these slots without turning off the server.
Redundant cooling and power capabilities
The redundant cooling and hot-swap capabilities of the fans in your server
allow continued operation if one of the fans fails. You can also replace a failing
fan without turning off the server.
The two 250-watt power supplies in your server provide redundant power for
many configurations of your server. If the average load on your server is less
than 250 watts and a problem occurs with one of the power supplies, the other
power supply can handle the load. For power loads above 250 watts, you can
install a third, optional power supply to provide a full 500 watts of power. The
NON REDUNDANT light emitting diode (LED) on the diagnostic LED panel is lit
when the power load is 250 watts or greater with two power supplies installed.
Large system memory
The memory bus in your server supports up to 4 GB of system memory. The
memory controller provides error correcting code (ECC) support for up to four
industry-standard PC133, 3.3 V, 168-pin, 8-byte, registered,
synchronous-dynamic-random access memory (SDRAM) DIMMs (Intel
PC-Registered SDIMM Specifications, Revision 1.0 or later), synchronous, dual
inline memory modules.
