Power supplies
Server power is derived from the power supplies installed in the chassis. There are no server options
regarding power supplies.
Integrated virtualization
The x240 supports the ESXi hypervisor on a USB memory key via the x240 USB Enablement Kit. This kit
offers two internal USB ports. The x240 USB Enablement Kit and the supported USB memory keys are
listed in the following table.
There are two types of USB keys, preloaded keys or blank keys. Blank keys allow you to download an
IBM customized version of ESXi and load it onto the key. Preload keys are shipped with a specific version
of ESXi already loaded. The x240 supports one or two keys installed, but only certain combinations:
Supported combinations:
