PowerExecutiveTM : Proactive Management and ControlOptimize and manage datacenter power and cooling!

►Intelligence and control to manage datacenter server power utilization

►Combination of: Hardware, system logic, and group management tools

Take the guess work out of datacenter power management

►Actual power draw! Not conservative “label/spec power” estimates

More accurate data center planning helps maximize datacenter performance

►Power control capability insures datacenter robustness within fixed power envelope (2H 2006)


IBM Systems

PowerExecutive™ in Action

Manage power at rack level

Track heat emitted

Compare rack actual power vs. label power

Trend power use over time

Compare actual vs. nameplate power at system level

Innovation That Matters


Why Power Management today?"If performance per watt is to remain constant over the next few years, power costs could easily overtake hardware costs, possibly by a large margin,"

- Luiz Andre Barroso, Google

“In the last three years the amount of power drain has increased by tenfold” - IBM Research

“… power will be the number one issue for most large company IT executives to address in the next 2-4 years. Ignoring this issue will NOT be an option. Power consideration must be incorporated into data center planning. This includes close cooperation with facilities management, intelligent reduction of unneeded applications, systems, and infrastructure, and re-evaluating system design with an emphasis on power efficiency as a fundamental design criterion"

- Robert Francis Group

Real power and cooling solutions are addressed via a combination of hardware, software, and processors - - IBM is uniquely positioned to win the argument



PowerExecutivetm Benefits for System x3655

x3655 features RAS:

Hot sparing allows you to set aside one Rank of your memory (per processor) to use if the machine determines a Rank has gone bad (constant ECC errors, etc).

3/3 Year Warranty 24-hour Support Center Power-on Self Test (POST): The

computer checks itself out as it starts to boot. It looks for voltages being good, initializes buses, checks for invalid configs, initializes the memory array, looks for and initializes the SAS array, tries to get all on board subsystems up and working (Video, USB, SAS, slots)

ROM Resident Diagnostics: We keep PCDoctor resident in the ROM. Our 'BIOS' EEPROM has 4 basic sectors, 1 for the boot block, one for the backup boot block, and 2 for DIAG's.

Customer upgrade of Flash ROM-resident code and diagnostics: We have the ability, with the service processor, to send out micro code and firmware updates to the systems to be upgraded in the field.

Integrated BMC Subsystem System error Logging: System events

of all kinds are logged for viewing either by the BMC or the SP. Everything from Power events (On/Off), to failing parts is kept in a log.

x3655 has Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability you can count on

IBM System X3655


x3655 features RAS:

Automatic Server Restart: Watchdog timer in the BMC, which will monitor the 'health' of a system and perform a reboot, with the backup boot block

PFA on memory, CPU, SCSI Hard drives , fans, VRM, and power supplies

Memory ECC/Parity Test:, BIOS initializes memory and ECC and then it is always on/working. Correctable errors are logged and decisions are made on a course of action when thresholds are hit.

CPU/VRM Failure Identification through lightpath diagnostic

Hot swap hard disk drives; redundant and hot swap Power Supply

Diagnostic Support of ServeRAID Adapters and Ethernet adaptors: Sys diagnostics send alerts to administrator

Redundant Network Interface card (NIC) supportfailover function, such that if a port fails, traffic moves over to a different port.

Positive FRU identification (Lightpath LEDs) for bad memory DIMM, Processor, DASD, power supply , fans, PCIE slots, and Riser Card: We support Level 3 Light path, which means when you open the covers, an LED will be lit for the failing FRU.

Actual storage capacity will vary based upon many factors and may be less than stated. Some numbers given for storage capacities give capacity in native mode followed by capacity using data compression technology. Maximum internal hard disk and memory capacities may require the replacement of any standard hard drives and/or memory and the population of all hard disk bays and memory slots with the largest currently supported drives available.
