As always, the IBM server meets stringent worldwide certifications for power, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and safety. See "Related service information" on page 195 for additional information. Reliability, availability, and serviceability Three of the most important features in server design are reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS). These factors help to ensure the integrity of the data stored on the server; that the server is available when you want to use it; and that should a failure occur, you can easily diagnose and repair the failure with minimal inconvenience. The following is an abbreviated list of the RAS features that the server supports. • Cooling fans with speed-sensing capability (hot-swap) • Error correcting code (ECC) FSBs • ECC L2 cache • ECC memory • Fast power-on self-test (POST) • 45°C (113°F) normal operating temperature for hard disk drives • Parity checking on the small computer system interface (SCSI) bus and PCI buses • Power Managed - Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) level • System management monitoring via Intra-Integrated Circuit (I2C) bus • Ambient temperature monitoring • Automatic error retry/recovery • Automatic restart after a power failure • Built-in temperature/fan/voltages monitoring • Chipkill memory protection • Fault-resistant startup • Hot-swap drive bays • Hot-swap hard disk drives • Active PCI (hot-plug) adapter slots • Information and diagnostic LED panels • Menu-driven setup, system configuration, SCSISelect configuration, and diagnostic programs • Memory scrubbing and Predictive Failure Analysis™ (PFA) (background and real time) • Microcode and diagnostic levels available • Netfinity Manager™ and LANDesk® enabled • Netfinity Server Management • NIC failover support • Power and temperature monitoring • Power-supply redundancy monitoring • Predictive Failure Analysis™ (PFA) alerts • Redundant Ethernet capabilities (with optional adapter) • Redundant hot-swap cooling • Redundant and hot-swap power supplies • Remote Connect • Remote system problem-determination support • System auto-configuring from a configuration menu • Upgradable POST, BIOS, diagnostics, and Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor microcode • Wake on LAN™ capability General information 7

As always, the IBM server meets stringent worldwide certifi-
cations for power, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and
safety.
See “Related service information” on page 195 for
additional information.
Reliability, availability, and serviceability
Three of the most important features in server design are
reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS).
These fac-
tors help to ensure the integrity of the data stored on the
server; that the server is available when you want to use it;
and that should a failure occur, you can easily diagnose and
repair the failure with minimal inconvenience.
The following is an abbreviated list of the RAS features that
the server supports.
