Your
server
comes
with
an
Ethernet
controller
on
the
system
board.
This
Ethernet
controller
has
an
interface
for
connecting
to
10-Mbps
or
100-Mbps
networks.
The
server
automatically
selects
between
10BASE-T
and
100BASE-TX.
The
controller
provides
full-duplex
(FDX)
capability,
which
allows
simultaneous
transmission
and
reception
of
data
on
the
Ethernet
local
area
network
(LAN).
v
Redundant
network-interface
card
The
addition
of
an
optional,
redundant
network
interface
card
(NIC)
provides
a
failover
capability
to
a
redundant
Ethernet
connection.
If
a
problem
occurs
with
the
primary
Ethernet
connection,
all
Ethernet
traffic
associated
with
this
primary
connection
is
automatically
switched
to
the
redundant
NIC.
This
switching
occurs
without
data
loss
and
without
user
intervention.
v
IBM
ServerGuide
CDs
The
ServerGuide
CDs
included
with
IBM
xSeries
servers
provide
programs
to
help
you
set
up
your
server
and
install
the
network
operating
system
(NOS).
The
ServerGuide
program
detects
the
hardware
options
installed,
and
provides
the
correct
configuration
program
and
device
drivers.
In
addition,
the
ServerGuide
CDs
include
a
variety
of
application
programs
such
as
IBM
Update
Connector
to
help
keep
your
server
BIOS
and
microcode
updated,
and
IBM
Netfinity
Manager
for
systems
management.
For
more
information
about
the
ServerGuide
CDs,
see
the
ServerGuide
and
Netfinity
Manager
Information
section.
Your
server
is
designed
to
be
cost-effective,
powerful,
and
flexible.
It
uses
peripheral
component
interconnect
(PCI)
bus
architecture
to
provide
compatibility
with
a
wide
range
of
existing
hardware
devices
and
software
applications.
As
always,
your
IBM
server
meets
stringent
worldwide
certifications
for
power,
electromagnetic
compatibility
(EMC),
and
safety.
Refer
to
the
‘Safety
Information’
section.
for
additional
information.
Reliability,
availability,
and
serviceability
features
Three
of
the
most
important
features
in
server
design
are
reliability,
availability,
and
serviceability
(RAS).
These
factors
help
to
ensure
the
integrity
of
the
data
stored
on
your
server;
that
your
server
is
available
when
you
want
to
use
it;
and
that
should
a
failure
occur,
you
can
easily
diagnose
and
repair
the
failure
with
minimal
inconvenience.
The
following
is
an
abbreviated
list
of
the
RAS
features
that
your
server
supports.
Many
of
these
features
are
explained
in
later
chapters
or
sections.
