For more information, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/xseries/xarchitecture/ enterprise/index.html. IBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, which you can download from the web, provides programs to help you set up the server and install a Windows 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 64. Integrated network support The server comes with an integrated dual-port Intel 82574L Gigabit Ethernet controller, which supports connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. For more information, see Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller on page 66. PCI adapter capabilities The server has two PCI interface slots on the riser card (one supports low-profile cards, and one supports full-height, three-quarter length cards). Both slots can support PCI Express or PCI-X adapters. See Installing a ServeRAID adapter on page 41 for detailed information. Large system-memory capacity
The server supports up to 32 GB of system memory when unbuffered DIMMs are installed. The memory controller supports error correcting code (ECC) and non-error correcting code for up to 4 industry-standard PC3-10600R-999 (single-rank or dual-rank), 1066 and 1333 MHz, DDR3 (third-generation double-data-rate) unbuffered synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). v Redundant connection The addition of an optional 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 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. v ServeRAID support The ServeRAID adapter provides hardware redundant array of independent disks (RAID) support to create configurations. The LSI Configuration Utility program provides RAID levels 0, 1, and 10. The optional ServerRAID-BR10il adapter provides RAID levels 0 and 1. See Installing a ServeRAID adapter on page 41 and Using LSI Configuration Utility program on page 68 for more information about the adapters that are supported and creating RAID arrays. v Dual-core or quad-core processing The server supports one Intel Xeon dual-core or quad-core microprocessor. v Systems-management capabilities
Chapter 1. The System x3100 M4 server
The server comes with an integrated management module II (IMM2). When the IMM2 is used with the systems-management software that comes with the server, you can manage the functions of the server locally and remotely. The IMM2 also provides system monitoring, event recording, and network alert capability. v TCP/IP offload engine (TOE) support The Ethernet controller 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. The Windows operating system requires that the Windows Scalable Network Pack (SNP) be installed for TOE support. Note: As of the date of this document, the Linux operating system does not support TOE.

Important notes
Processor speed indicates the internal clock speed of the microprocessor; other factors also affect application performance. CD or DVD drive speed is the variable read rate. Actual speeds vary and are often less than the possible maximum. When referring to processor storage, real and virtual storage, or channel volume, KB stands for 1024 bytes, MB stands for 1,048,576 bytes, and GB stands for 1,073,741,824 bytes. When referring to hard disk drive capacity or communications volume, MB stands for 1,000,000 bytes, and GB stands for 1,000,000,000 bytes. Total user-accessible capacity can vary depending on operating environments. Maximum internal hard disk drive capacities assume the replacement of any standard hard disk drives and population of all hard disk drive bays with the largest currently supported drives that are available from IBM. Maximum memory might require replacement of the standard memory with an optional memory module.

Particulate contamination
Attention: Airborne particulates (including metal flakes or particles) and reactive gases acting alone or in combination with other environmental factors such as humidity or temperature might pose a risk to the server that is described in this document. Risks that are posed by the presence of excessive particulate levels or concentrations of harmful gases include damage that might cause the server to malfunction or cease functioning altogether. This specification sets forth limits for particulates and gases that are intended to avoid such damage. The limits must not be viewed or used as definitive limits, because numerous other factors, such as temperature or moisture content of the air, can influence the impact of particulates or environmental corrosives and gaseous contaminant transfer. In the absence of specific limits that are set forth in this document, you must implement practices that maintain particulate and gas levels that are consistent with the protection of human health and safety. If IBM determines that the levels of particulates or gases in your environment have caused damage to the server, IBM may condition provision of repair or replacement of servers or parts on implementation of appropriate remedial measures to mitigate such environmental contamination. Implementation of such remedial measures is a customer responsibility.
Table 9. Limits for particulates and gases Contaminant Particulate Limits v The room air must be continuously filtered with 40% atmospheric dust spot efficiency (MERV 9) according to ASHRAE Standard 52.21. v Air that enters a data center must be filtered to 99.97% efficiency or greater, using high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters that meet MIL-STD-282. v The deliquescent relative humidity of the particulate contamination must be more than 60%2. v The room must be free of conductive contamination such as zinc whiskers. v Copper: Class G1 as per ANSI/ISA 71.04-19853 v Silver: Corrosion rate of less than 300 in 30 days
