System x3530 M4 Type 7160: Installation and Service Guide
The IBM Active Energy Manager solution is an IBM Systems Director extension
that measures and reports server power consumption as it occurs. This enables
you to monitor power consumption in correlation to specific software
application programs and hardware configurations. You can obtain the
measurement values through the systems-management interface and view them,
using IBM Systems Director. For more information, including the required levels
of IBM Systems Director and Active Energy Manager, see the IBM Systems
Director documentation on the IBM Systems Director DVD, or see
http://www.ibm.com/servers/systems/management/director/extensions/
actengmgr.html/.
The server comes with the IBM Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Preboot
diagnostic program stored in the integrated USB memory on the server. DSA
Preboot collects and analyzes system information to aid in diagnosing server
problems, as well as offering a rich set of diagnostic tests of the major
components of the server. DSA Preboot collects the following information about
the server:
– Drive health information
– Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors
– Hardware inventory, including PCI and USB information
– Light path diagnostics status
– Microprocessor, input/out hub, and UEFI error logs
– Network interfaces and settings
– RAID controller configuration
– Service processor (integrated management module) status and configuration
– System configuration
– Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI configuration
DSA Preboot also provides diagnostics for the following system components
(when they are installed):
– Intel network adapter
2
– IMM I
C bus
– Light path diagnostics panel
– Memory modules
– Microprocessors
– Optical devices (CD or DVD)
– SAS or SATA drives
For information about both editions (DSA Preboot and Portable) of the Dynamic
System Analysis (DSA) diagnostic programs, see "DSA editions" on page 119.
IBM next generation technology systems combine proven, innovative IBM
designs to make your x86-processor-based server powerful, scalable, and
reliable. For more information, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/
