What the computer offers
The computer uses the following features and technologies:
vPCI Express x16 graphics
The computer comes with agraphics adapter installed in the PCI Express x16
slot (slot 1). This high-performance adapter supports high resolutions and
includes many performance-enhancing features for the operating-system
environment.
vLarge system-memory capacity
The computer supports up to 32 GB of system memory. The memory controller
provides error correcting code (ECC) support for up to eight industry-standard
PC2-5300, 667 MHz, 1.8 V, 240-pin, double-data-rate 2(DDR2),
fully-buffered, synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual
inline memory modules (DIMMs).
vSystems-management capabilities
The computer comes with features that anetwork administrator or file server can
use to remotely manage and control the computer. These features include Wake
on LAN
®
,Remote Administration, IBM Director Agent, and System Migration
Assistant. See “Software available on the World Wide Web” on page 6and
“Managing the computer” on page 17 for more information.
vIntegrated network support
The computer comes with an integrated Ethernet controller, which supports
connection to a10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1-Gbps network. For more information,
see “Configuring the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page
25. The controller supports Wake on LAN and Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
technologies.
vMemory mirroring
Some models support memory mirroring. Memory mirroring stores data in two
pairs of DIMMs simultaneously. To support memory mirroring, you must have at
least two pairs of DIMMs installed, and they must be identical pairs of DIMMs.
For more information, see “Installing memory modules” on page 48.
vOnline-spare memory
Some models support online-spare memory. Online-spare memory disables a
failed pair of DIMMs from the system configuration and activates an online-spare
pair of DIMMs to replace the failed pair of DIMMs. For an online-spare pair of
DIMMs to be activated, you must have installed an additional pair of DIMMs of
the same speed, type, size (or larger), and technology as the failed pair of
DIMMs. For more information, see “Installing memory modules” on page 48.
vSymmetric multiprocessing
The computer supports up to two Intel Xeon dual-core microprocessors for
symmetric multiprocessing (SMP).
Software
The computer comes with preinstalled Microsoft
® Windows ® XP Professional or
Red Hat Enterprise Linux
® Workstation and avariety of software, including
application programs, diagnostic tools, and device drivers.
Important: The software, other than the operating system, is licensed under the
terms of the IBM International License Agreement for Non-Warranted
Programs. Use of the computer signifies acceptance of this license
4IBM IntelliStation ZPro Type 9228: User’s Guide

agreement. For detailed instructions for viewing the license agreement,
see “Viewing the license agreement” on page 13.
Preinstalled software
In addition to the operating system, the preinstalled software includes some or all of
the following programs. Some programs might require setup and configuration
before use.
vAdobe Acrobat Reader
You can use this program to read files in PDF, including documentation. You can
download the most current versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader for other
languages and operating systems from the Adobe Web site at
http://www.adobe.com.
vDevice drivers
Device drivers for factory-installed features are preinstalled in the computer. The
latest device drivers are also available at http://www.ibm.com/support/.
vIBM Drive Letter Access
You can use this program to copy files to CD-R or CD-RW media.
vSonic RecordNow Business Edition and DLA
You can use this program to record data or audio to CD-R or CD-RW media or to
create copies of existing CDs.
vWinDVD or LinDVD
This software comes on models with DVD read capability. You can use this
program to play DVDs.
vDVDCreator
This software comes on models with DVD write capability. You can use this
program to create DVDs.
vNorton Internet Security
You can use this program to detect and remove viruses from the computer.
vOnline Books
You can use this program to access documentation for the computer.
vProduct Recovery Program
You can use this program to recover the operating system and other software
programs in the event of asystem failure.
Important: The Product Recovery Program is on ahidden, hard disk drive
partition. Do not delete or otherwise destroy this partition.
vIBM Dynamic System Analysis
IBM Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) is asystem information collection and
analysis tool that is used by IBM System x
™ Service and Support personnel to
aid in the diagnosis of system problems.
You must have Internet access to use some of these programs. For more
information about connecting to the Internet, see the operating-system
documentation that comes with the computer.
See “Using preinstalled software” on page 12 for additional information about the
preinstalled software.
Important:
1. You can reinstall the device drivers and applications that come with the
computer from the directories on the hard disk.
Chapter 1. Introducing the IntelliStation ZPro computer 5

2. The device drivers and some programs are also available at
http://www.ibm.com/support/ and on the Device Drivers CD.
Software on CD
In addition to the IBM-preinstalled programs and device drivers, additional software
is provided on the Device Drivers CD or other CDs. You decide which programs to
install according to your needs.
Device drivers
Some of the preinstalled device drivers are on the Device Drivers CD that
comes with the computer.
Software available on the World Wide Web
The following software is available from the IBM Web site:
vIBM Director Agent
You can use IBM Director Agent to view detailed information about the hardware
and software, set up alerts, monitor avariety of system resources, and manage
your asset security. IBM Director Agent streamlines and automates personal
computer (PC) systems-management and support tasks, such as asset
deployment and tracking.
vRemote Deployment Manager
Remote Deployment Manager (RDM) is agraphical, server-based system
deployment program that enables mass unattended installations of operating
systems, software images, device drivers, and basic input/output system (BIOS)
code updates to remote systems. When RDM is used with the Wake on LAN
feature, it can remotely turn on the computer so that the installation can be done
while the computer is not being used.
See the product documentation for these tools to determine whether the operating
system supports this software. To download any of the tools or to get information
about them, complete the following steps:
1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/support/ and select your country.
