What your server offers
Your server uses the following features and technologies:
v
Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) adapter
Your server comes with an integrated AGP graphics adapter. This
high-performance adapter supports high resolutions and includes many
performance-enhancing features for your operating-system environment.
v
IBM Director
IBM Director is a workgroup-hardware-management tool that you can use
to centrally manage SmartServer.. For more information about IBM Director,
see the IBM Director User’s Guide on the IBM Director CD.
v
Enterprise X-Architecture technology
X-Architecture technology combines proven, innovative IBM designs to
make your Intel-processor-based server powerful, scalable, and reliable.

– Active
™
Memory
The Active Memory feature improves the reliability of memory through memory
mirroring, memory scrubbing, and the Memory ProteXion
™
feature. For more
information, see “Active Memory” on page 8.
– Large system-memory capacity
The memory bus supports up to 64 GB of system memory. The memory
controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to 32 industry-standard
PC1600, 133 megahertz (MHz), 3.3 V, 168-pin, registered, double-data-rate
(DDR), synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline
memory modules (DIMMs).
– Memory ProteXion
The Memory ProteXion feature provides the equivalent of a hot-spare drive in
a RAID array. It is based in the memory controller, and it enables the server to
sense when a chip on a DIMM has failed and to route the data around the
failed chip.
– XceL4
™
Server Accelerator Cache
The XceL4 Server Accelerator Cache provides up to 64MB of external Level-4
cache per SMP Expansion Module, which increases memory bandwidth and
reduces access time through PCI-X, Ethernet, SCSI, and Fibre Channel
interfaces.
v
ServerGuide
™
Setup and Installation CD
The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD that comes with your server provides
programs to help you set up your server and install the operating system. The
ServerGuide program detects installed hardware options 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 25.
Note: If your server model came with an operating system, such as Microsoft
®
Windows
®
2000 Datacenter Server or VMware ESX server, see the
software documentation provided with your software for configuration
information.
