4System x3200 M2 Types 4367 and 4368: User’s Guide

What your server offers
The server uses the following features and technologies:
vHigh-performance graphics controller
The server comes with an integrated graphics controller. This high-performance
controller supports high resolutions and includes many performance-enhancing
features for the operating-system environment.
vIBM Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Preboot Diagnostic CD
The IBM Dynamic System Analysis Preboot Diagnostic CD contains the
diagnostic programs for testing the major components of the server. If the CD did
not come with the server, complete the following steps to download it.
Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure
might vary slightly from what is described in this document.
1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.
2. Under Product support,click System x.
3. Under Popular links,click Software and device drivers.
4. Click Dynamic System Analysis (DSA).
For additional information about the DSA diagnostic programs, see the Problem
Determination and Service Guide on the IBM System xDocumentation CD.
vIBM Director
IBM Director is aworkgroup-hardware-management tool that you can use to
centrally manage xSeries®and xSeries servers. For more information, see the
IBM Director documentation on the IBM Director CD.
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 an 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 63.
vIntegrated network support
The server comes with an integrated Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet
controller, which supports connection to a10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps
network. For more information, see “Configuring the Broadcom NetXtreme
Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page 68.
vLarge data-storage capacity and hot-swap capabilities
Some hot-swap models support up to four slim-high, 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch
hot-swap SAS hard disk drives. Some models support up to eight slim-high
2.5-inch hot-swap SAS hard disk drives. With the hot-swap feature, you can add,
remove, or replace hard disk drives without turning off the server.
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, 1.8 V,
240-pin, double-data-rate 2(DDR2), PC2-5300 or PC2-6400 unbuffered,
synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory
modules (DIMMs).
vMini-baseboard management controller (mini-BMC)
Chapter 1. The System x3200 M2 server 5

The mini-BMC provides basic service-processor environmental monitoring
functions. If an environmental condition exceeds athreshold or if asystem
component fails, the mini-BMC lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem and
records the error in the error log.
Note: In messages and documentation, term service processor refers to the
mini-baseboard management controller or the optional Remote Supervisor
Adapter II SlimLine.
vRedundant connection
The addition of an optional network interface card (NIC) provides afailover
capability to aredundant Ethernet connection. If aproblem occurs with the
primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet traffic that is associated with the
primary connection is automatically switched to the redundant NIC. If the
applicable device drivers are installed, this switching occurs without data loss and
without user intervention.
vServeRAID™support
The server supports ServeRAID adapters to create redundant array of
independent disks (RAID) configurations. The server also has integrated RAID
level-0 and level-1 support in selected models. In addition, some hot-swap
models support RAID level-5 when aServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA controller is
installed.
vSystems-management capabilities
The server supports an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, which
provides service-processor functions in addition to those that the mini-BMC
provides. When this adapter is used with the systems-management software 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.
See the documentation that comes with your systems-management software for
more information. To order an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine,
contact your IBM marketing representative or authorized reseller.
Note: In messages and documentation, the term service processor refers to the
integrated mini-baseboard management controller or the optional Remote
Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine.
Reliability, availability, and serviceability
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:
v1-year parts and 1-year labor limited warranty (Machine Type 4367) and 3-year
parts and 3-year labor limited warranty (Machine Type 4368)
vAdvanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
vAdvanced Desktop Management Interface (DMI) features
vAutomatic BIOS recovery to abackup image
vAutomatic error retry or recovery
vAutomatic memory downsizing on error detection
vAutomatic restart on nonmaskable interrupt (NMI)
