Chapter 1. The System x3500 server 3

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.
vDevice Driver and IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD
The server comes with aDevice Driver and IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD,
which you can use to diagnose problems.
vIBM Director
IBM Director is aworkgroup-hardware-management tool that you can use to
centrally manage System x®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 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 55.
vIntegrated network support
The server comes with two integrated Broadcom 5721 series Gigabit Ethernet
controllers, which supports connection to a10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps
network. For more information, see “Configuring the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet
controller” on page 70.
vIntelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0
IPMI 2.0 support providing secure remote power-on/power-off and several
standard alerts for components such as fans, voltage, and temperature.
vLarge data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability
The server supports up to eight 25.4 mm (1-inch) slim-high, 3.5-inch hot-swap
hard disk drives in the hot-swap bays. 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 48 GB of system memory. The memory controller
supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to 12 single-sided industry-standard
PC-5300, 677 megahertz (MHz), 1.8 V, 240-pin, fully buffered, double-data-rate
(DDR) II, synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline
memory modules (DIMMs).
vLight path diagnostics
Light path diagnostics provides LEDs to help you diagnose problems. For more
information, see the section about light path diagnostics in the Problem
Determination and Service Guide on the IBM System xDocumentation CD.
vMemory mirroring
Memory mirroring replicates and stores data in DIMMs within two branches
simultaneously. To support memory mirroring, you must have at least two pairs of
DIMMs installed (one pair in each branch). Pairs of DIMMs that are next to each
other (for example, DIMM slot 1and DIMM slot 4) within the channels of the
same branch must be identical pairs of fully-buffered, dual inline memory
modules (DIMMs).
4IBM System x3500 Type 7977: User’s Guide

vOnline-spare memory
Online-spare memory disables afailed rank pair of DIMMs from the system
configuration and activates an online-spare rank pair of DIMMs to replace the
failed rank pair of DIMMs. For an online-spare pair of DIMMs to be activated, you
must enable this feature and have installed an additional pair of DIMMs of the
same speed, type, size (or larger), and technology as the failed pair of DIMMs.
vPCI-X adapter capabilities
The server has two slots for PCI-X 64-bit adapters.
vPCI Express x4 adapter capabilities
The server has one slot for PCI Express x4 adapters. These slots accept x8
adapters, but the adapters will operate as x4 adapters.
vPCI Express x8 adapter capabilities
The server has two slots for PCI Express x8 adapters.
vRedundant cooling and power capabilities
The server supports up to two 835-watt hot-swap power supplies. If the server
comes with only one power supply, you can install an additional power supply
with three redundant hot-swap cooling fans to add redundant power and cooling
capabilities. If the maximum load on the server is less than 835 watts and a
problem occurs with one of the power supplies, the other power supply can meet
the power requirements. The redundant cooling of the fans enables continued
operation if one of the fans fails.
vServeRAID™support
The server supports ServeRAID adapters to create redundant array of
independent disks (RAID) configurations.
vSymmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
The server supports up to two Intel Xeon dual-core microprocessors. If the server
comes with only one microprocessor, you can install an additional microprocessor
to enhance performance and provide SMP capability.
vSystems-management capabilities
The server comes with aRemote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, which provides
service-processor functions in addition to those that the baseboard management
controller 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.
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 correct problems.
The server has the following RAS features:
v3-year parts, 3-year labor limited warranty
vAdvanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
vAdvanced Desktop Management Interface (DMI) features
vAutomatic error retry or recovery
