v

Redundant

connection

The

addition

of

an

optional

Ethernet

daughter

card

provides

failover

capability

to

a

redundant

Ethernet

connection

with

the

applicable

application

installed.

If

a

problem

occurs

with

the

primary

Ethernet

connection

and

the

optional

Ethernet

daughter

card

is

installed

on

the

server,

all

Ethernet

traffic

that

is

associated

with

the

primary

connection

is

automatically

switched

to

the

optional

redundant

Ethernet

daughter

card

connection.

If

the

applicable

device

drivers

are

installed,

this

switching

occurs

without

data

loss

and

without

user

intervention.

v

Redundant

cooling

and

optional

power

capabilities

The

server

supports

a

maximum

of

two

675-watt

hot-swap

power

supplies

and

six

hot-swap

fans,

which

provide

redundancy

and

hot-swap

capability

for

a

typical

configuration.

The

redundant

cooling

by

the

fans

in

the

server

enables

continued

operation

if

one

of

the

fans

fails.

The

server

comes

with

one

675-watt

hot-swap

power

supply

and

five

fans.

You

can

order

the

second

optional

power

supply

with

the

additional

fan.

v

RAID

support

The

RAID

adapter

provides

hardware

redundant

array

of

independent

disks

(RAID)

support

to

create

configurations.

The

standard

RAID

adapter

provides

RAID

levels

0,

1,

and

1E.

An

optional

RAID

adapter

is

available

for

purchase

that

provides

RAID

levels

0,

1,

5,

6,

10,

50,

and

60.

v

Systems-management

capabilities

The

servers

comes

with

an

Integrated

Management

Module

(IMM).

When

the

IMM

is

used

with

the

systems-management

software

that

comes

with

the

server,

you

can

manage

the

functions

of

the

server

locally

and

remotely.

The

IMM

also

provides

system

monitoring,

event

recording,

and

network

alert

capability.

The

system-management

connector

provides

additional

security

by

physically

separating

the

management

network

traffic

from

the

production

network.

You

can

use

the

Setup

utility

to

configure

the

server

to

use

a

dedicated

systems-management

network

or

a

shared

network.

v

TCP/IP

offload

engine

(TOE)

support

The

Ethernet

controllers

in

the

server

support

TOE,

which

is

a

technology

that

offloads

the

TCP/IP

flow

from

the

microprocessor

and

I/O

subsystem

to

increase

the

speed

of

the

TCP/IP

flow.

When

an

operating

system

that

supports

TOE

is

running

on

the

server

and

TOE

is

enabled,

the

server

supports

TOE

operation.

See

the

operating-system

documentation

for

information

about

enabling

TOE.

Note:

The

Linux

operating

system

does

not

support

TOE.

v

Preboot

diagnostics

program

The

preboot

diagnostics

programs

are

stored

on

the

integrated

USB

memory.

They

collect

and

analyze

system

information

to

aid

in

diagnosing

server

problems.

The

diagnostic

programs

collect

the

following

information

about

the

server:

System

configuration

Network

interfaces

and

settings

Installed

hardware

EasyLED

status

Service

processor

status

and

configuration

Vital

product

data,

firmware,

and

UEFI

(formerly

called

BIOS)

configuration

Hard

disk

drive

health

RAID

controller

configuration

Event

logs

for

RAID

controllers

and

service

processors
