What your server offers
The server uses the following features and technologies:
vBaseboard management controller
The baseboard management controller provides basic service-processor
environmental monitoring functions. If an environmental condition exceeds a
threshold or if asystem component fails, the baseboard management controller
lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem. Critical errors are also included in
the error log.
Note: In messages and documentation, the term service processor refers to the
baseboard management controller or the optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II
SlimLine.
vIBM Director
IBM Director is aworkgroup-hardware-management tool that you can use to
centrally manage servers. For more information, see the IBM Director
documentation on the IBM Director CD.
vIBM Enterprise X-Architecture technology
IBM X-Architecture technology combines proven, innovative IBM designs to make
your x86-processor-based server powerful, scalable, and reliable. For more
information, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/xseries/xarchitecture/
enterprise/index.html.
vLarge system-memory capacity
The server supports up to 8GB of system memory. The memory controller
supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to four industry-standard PC2-5300,
667 MHz, ECC, double-data-rate (DDR) II unbuffered synchronous dynamic
random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).
vIBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD that comes with the server provides
programs to help you set up the server and install aWindows 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 42.
vIntegrated network support
The server comes with two integrated Broadcom Gigabit controllers, which
support connection to a10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. For more
information, see “Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllers” on page 55.
vLarge data-storage capacity
The server supports up to two 25.4 mm (1-inch) slim-high, 3.5-inch hard disk
drives (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) or serial-attached SCSI
(SAS), depending on the server model), or up to four 63.5 mm (2.5-inch) hard
disk drives (SAS), depending on the server model.
vServeRAID™support
The hot-swap models of this server contain an internal SAS controller that
supports level 0and level 1redundant array of independent disks (RAID)
configurations. The server also supports some ServeRAID adapters and other
optional devices to create RAID configurations. For alist of supported ServeRAID
devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/
compat/us/.
Chapter 1. The System x3250 M2 Types 4190 and 4194 5

vDynamic System Analysis (DSA) Preboot diagnostic programs
The DSA diagnostic programs are provided on the Dynamic System Analysis
Preboot CD. The diagnostic programs test the major components of the server
and collect the following information about the server:
–System configuration
–Network interfaces and settings
–Installed hardware
–Service processor status and configuration
–Vital product data, firmware, and BIOS configuration
–Hard disk drive health
–RAID controller configuration
–Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors
See the Problem Determination Guide for more information about the DSA
Prebood diagnostic programs.
vSystems-management capabilities
The server supports an optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine.
When this adapter is used with the integrated baseboard management controller
that comes with the server, you can manage the functions of the server locally
and remotely. The Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine also provides system
monitoring, event recording, and dial-out alert capability.
Reliability, availability, and serviceability features
Three important server design features are reliability, availability, and serviceability
(RAS). The RAS features help to ensure the integrity of the data that is stored in
the server, the availability of the server when you need it, and the ease with which
you can diagnose and repair problems.
The server has the following RAS features:
vAdvanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
vAdvanced Desktop Management Interface (DMI) features
vIntelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0 support that provides secure
remote power on/power off and seven standard alerts for components such as
fans, voltage, and thermals
vAutomatic restart after power failure
vAuto-restart initial program load (IPL)
vBoot-block recovery
vBuilt-in, menu-driven configuration and setup programs
vCooling fans with speed-sensing capability
vCustomer-upgradeable basic input/output system (BIOS) code
vECC memory
vError codes and messages
vMenu-driven diagnostic programs on CD
vMonitoring support for temperature, voltage, and fan speed
vParity checking on the SAS bus and PCI bus
vPower-on self-test (POST)
vRead-only memory (ROM) checksums
vSDRAM with serial presence detect (SPD)
vServer management
vStandby voltage for systems management features and monitoring
