Server features
The unique design of the server takes advantage of advancements in symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), data storage, and memory protection. The server combines:

Impressive performance using an innovative approach to SMP
The server supports up to four Pentium III Xeon microprocessors. The server comes with one microprocessor installed; you can install additional microprocessors to enhance performance and provide SMP capability.

Integrated disk-array subsystem
Although many operating systems provide software fault tolerance through mirroring, IBM provides hardware fault tolerance through the redundant array of independent disks (RAID) controller. The IBM ServeRAID controller is a standard feature. It provides three channels and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 1E, 5, and 5E.

Large data-storage and hot-swap capabilities
All models of the server support up to 10 slim-high or 7 half-high hot-swap hard disk drives. This hot-swap feature enables you to remove and replace hard disk drives without turning off the server.

Hot-plug PCI adapter capabilities
The server has four hot-plug slots for PCI adapters. With operating system support, you can replace failing hot-plug PCI adapters without turning off the server. If the hot-add feature is supported by the operating system and the PCI adapter, you can also add PCI adapters to these slots without turning off the server.

Redundant cooling and power capabilities
The redundant cooling and hot-swap capabilities of the fans in the server enable continued operation if one of the fans fails, because you can replace a failing fan without turning off the server. The server comes standard with three 250-watt power supplies, which support redundancy for a typical configuration. You can install one additional power supply.

Large system memory
The memory bus in the server supports up to 16 GB of system memory. The memory controller provides error correcting code (ECC) support for up to 16 industry-standard, 3.3 V, 168-pin, 8-byte, registered, dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). The memory controller also provides Chipkill memory protection. Chipkill memory protection is a technology that protects the system from component failure on a DIMM.

System-management capabilities
The server comes with a Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor. This processor, in conjunction with the Netfinity Manager software provided on the ServerGuide CDs, enables you to manage the functions of the server locally and remotely. The Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor also provides system monitoring, event recording, and dial-out alert capability.
 
NOTE: The Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor is sometimes referred to as the service processor.
 
Refer to "Netfinity Manager" on page 115 of the Hardware Maintenance Manual for more information.

Integrated network environment support
The server comes with an Ethernet controller. This Ethernet controller has an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps networks. The server automatically selects between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. The controller provides full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet local area network (LAN).

Redundant network-interface card
The addition of an optional, redundant network interface card (NIC) provides a failover capability to a redundant Ethernet connection. If a problem occurs with the primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet traffic associated with this primary connection is automatically switched to the redundant NIC. This switching occurs without data loss and without user intervention.

IBM ServerGuide CDs
The ServerGuide CDs included with the Netfinity server provide programs to help you set up the server and install the network operating system (NOS). The ServerGuide program detects the hardware options that are installed and provides the correct configuration program and device drivers. In addition, the ServerGuide CDs include a variety of application programs for the server.
