– Reboots server automatically
– Generates alerts
– Continues operations with the working processor
Expandability and growth
The System x3620 M3 server contains high levels of function and storage capacity
for a 2U, 19-inch rack-drawer package. It supports customer installation of
adapters, processors, memory, and HDD options. Functions such as SVGA video,
SAS, and Gigabit Ethernet controller are integrated on the system board. Features
include:
• Rack-optimized design for 19-inch-wide, industry-standard rack cabinets
supported in the NetBAY42 and NetBAY25
• Twelve DIMM connectors capable of support for up to 192 GB of system memory
• Eight 3.5-inch slim-high, hot-swap SAS/SATA HDD bays
• Optional optical drive
Systems management
IMM: The System x3620 M3 includes an IMM that provides industry-standard
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0-compliant systems
management. The IMM comes standard, and shares one of the two onboard
Ethernet ports for access. The IMM can be accessed via software that is compatible
with IPMI 2.0 (for example, xCAT).
Features and benefits:
• Monitoring:
– System voltages
– Battery voltage
– System temperatures
• Fan speed control
• Fan tachometer monitor
• Good power signal monitor
• System ID and planar version detection
• System power and reset control
• NMI detection (system interrupts)
• SMI detection and generation (system interrupts)
• Serial port text console redirection
• System LED control (power, HDD, activity, alerts, and heartbeat)
• An embedded web server enables remote control from any standard web
browser; no additional software is required on the remote administrator's
workstation
• The ability for administrators to use the command-line interface (CLI) from a
Telnet session to perform some of the functions that can be performed from the
web server
• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
• Built-in LAN and serial connectivity that supports virtually any network
infrastructure
• Multiple alerting functions that warn systems administrators of potential
problems through email, IPMI PETs, and SNMP
In addition, you can purchase an optional IBM Virtual Media Key to enable the
remote presence and blue-screen capture features. You can add this key to the
server through a connector on the planar. This key enables easy console redirection
