Embedded 12 Gbps hardware RAID on the motherboard	Embedded high-speed 12 Gbps interface RAID controller support for improved performance Advanced RAID protection for increased high availability of your HDDs without sacrificing performance New Flash technology for extending the useful life to nearly seven years versus a typical one-year replacement Support for up to 4 GB* flash backed cache Support for Multiple RAID adapter configurations and booting from 2 rear HDDs/SSDs Common RAID management tools across IBM System x® portfolio Feature on Demand (FoD) for fast upgrade of RAID-5, -50 or -6, -60—without opening the chassis
Up to six PCIe 3.0 I/O slots for system expansion.	Extensive I/O bandwidth for greater performance and productivity Double bandwidth of PCIe 2.0 with lower latency Scalable to more I/O slots as needed by upgrading to a second processor Flexible I/O options: Support for up to 2 x16 + 2 x8 slots or 1 x16 + 4 x8 or 6 x8 slots
Optional PCI-X slots	Ability to continue using legacy PCI-X adapters while transitioning to the PCIe standard. Support for up to 4 PCI-X + 2 x16 PCIe 3.0 slots
Integrated quad-port Gigabit Ethernet and optional embedded dual-port 10 GbE	Excellent network throughput with features that reduce processor workload Low power consumption and high network reliability with built-in smart management tools Slotless embedded two 10 GbE ports, freeing up on-board slots for other use
Optional hot-swap, redundant power and hot-swap cooling	Increased system and application uptime: Elimination of potential point of failure with a second hot-swap power supply so that server can continue operating, even with a fan failure Choice of one of the following high-efficiency power supplies (model dependent): 550 W AC, 750 W AC, 900 W AC, or 750 W DC Hot-swap dual-motor cooling fans for maintaining a healthy system by keeping internal components cool, and keeping business-critical applications running safely
Predictive Failure Analysis and Light path diagnostics	Proactive monitoring of system subcomponents and notification of any potential problems Expedition of hardware repairs to dramatically reduce service time Visible indication of the failing component inside the system to facilitate repairs and reduce downtime
Energy-efficiency compliance	Compliance with 80 PLUS® Platinum for ac power supplies ENERGY STAR® energy-efficiency standards (model dependent)
IBM Integrated Management Module 2 (IMM2)	Increased server availability through continuous system monitoring and notification of potential system failures or changes Remote presence for around-the-clock remote management capabilities (FoD optional); gives information about a failing component without interrupting system operation
IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager™	Comprehensive systems management tools Increased uptime, reduced costs and improved productivity with advanced server management capabilities Continuous real-time monitoring, measuring and management of power consumption
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)	Greater functionality than legacy BIOS; facilitates greater manageability through a common infrastructure for managing all machines Outstanding server efficiency through a fast boot; restart of OS Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2 for enabling advanced cryptographic functionality CRTM for secure boot
Support for the VMware vSphere and USB keys (optional)	Innovative, thin hypervisor architecture; operating system—independent and designed for optimizing virtualization performance Integrated with server hardware to help provide compatible, pre-tested and optimized hardware configurations Optimized for remote management tools and industry-standard protocols such as CIM
Security capabilities	ServeRAID with leadership disk encryption to help protect your data Trusted platform module technology Secure Key and OS Guard SMEP for faster, more secure encryption and protection against malware Digital signatures and remote attestation
