A
dvanced Systems Management Capabilities
The x3350 has a high level of systems management capabilities that are well-suited to remote
locations as well as to stand-alone environments. Features include the Baseboard Management
Controller (BMC), Automatic Server Restart, Wake on LAN
®
support, PXE support, Predictive
Failure Analysis, IBM Director, IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager for x86, and
support for an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine.
The BMC provides industry-standard Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0-
compliant systems management. It provides a number of important system functions, including:
• Monitoring of system and battery voltage, system temperature, fans, power supplies,
processor and DIMM status
• Fan speed control
• Product ID and Family ID detection
• Highly secure remote power on/off
• System reset control
• NMI/SMI detection and generation
• System diagnostic LED control (power, HDD, activity, alerts, heartbeat)
• IPMI over LAN
• Serial Over LAN
• Proxy server support
• LAN messaging and alerting
• Text console redirection over LAN
• VLAN support
• Enhanced authentication and encryption algorithms (RMCP+, SHA-1, AES)
• Local update of BMC firmware
• Firmware firewall
• Support for IPMI v2.0 compliant management software (e.g., xCAT)
• Other mandatory and optional IPMI BMC functions
The BMC alerts IBM Director to anomalous environmental factors, such as voltage and thermal
conditions—even if the server has failed.
The x3350 also supports an optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine for additional
systems management capabilities, including:
• Graphical console redirection over LAN
• Web-based out-of-band control
