Systems management and control
System x3250 M2 servers comply with the 2000 ATX Implementation Guidelines for
optimal control and manageability of your network.
Supported features include:
• Base Systems Management with IPMI 2.0
• Wake on LAN® supported on integrated Ethernet controllers
• Automatic server restart to help reduce downtime by restarting the server in the
event of system hang
• Flash EEPROM write protection
• SMBus isolation that isolates one bus section and required system components
during system power-down from other buses and components to prevent current
leakage into devices without power
The System x3250 M2 server also features IBM Director -- a powerful, highly
integrated systems management software solution built on industry standards and
designed for ease of use. Now you can take control of your IT environment and
manage physically dispersed IT assets more efficiently. It can help reduce costs
through potentially:
• Reduced downtime
