Frequently Asked Questions - eServer xSeries 346 IBM
How to install the server in a rack?
Attach the provided sliding rails to the rack posts at the desired height, then slide the server until it clicks into place. Tighten the front and rear fixing screws.
What type of RAM is compatible?
This server uses DDR ECC memory (Registered) with heatsink. Modules must be installed in pairs of identical capacity.
How to configure RAID?
Enter the RAID controller BIOS at startup (Ctrl+I or Ctrl+H depending on the card). Create a logical volume by selecting the disks and RAID level (0,1,5,10).
Can a hard drive be hot-swapped?
Yes, the bays are hot-swap. Remove the failing drive after verifying it blinks orange, then insert a new drive of same or larger capacity. The RAID will rebuild automatically.
How to reset the BIOS password?
Open the cover, locate the CMOS_CLR jumper on the motherboard, move it to pins 2-3 for 10 seconds, then return it to position 1-2. Reboot.
What to do if the server does not power on?
Check the power supply: ensure both units are plugged in and the switch is set to 'I'. Test a working outlet. If nothing, the power supply may be defective.
How to clean the server?
Power off the server and unplug it. Use a slightly damp soft cloth (no sprays). For vents, a low-power vacuum is acceptable. Never use liquid cleaner.
Where to download drivers?
Visit the IBM (or Lenovo after merger) support website. Search for 'xSeries 346' and download drivers for your OS (Windows Server, Linux, VMware).
What is the typical power consumption?
Under normal operation, the server draws about 150-250 W depending on configuration. The power supplies are rated for 750 W each in redundancy.
How to access the remote console?
The IBM Remote Supervisor adapter assigns a dedicated IP address (default DHCP). Connect via browser at https:// with default 'admin'/'admin'.
