v System data protection For increased security, the hot-swap drives and filler panels are locked in the server by a hot-swap lock bar. The hot-swap lock bar cannot be released to allow installation and removal of the hot-swap drives and filler panels unless the key lock on the server side cover is unlocked. . v Systems-management capabilities Your server supports an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II. This adapter, when used with the systems-management software that comes with your server, enables you to manage the functions of the server locally and remotely. The Remote Supervisor Adapter II also provides system monitoring, event recording, and dial-out alert capability. See the documentation that comes with your systems-management software for more information. To order an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II, contact your IBM marketing representative or authorized reseller. Reliability, availability, and serviceability Three important server design features are reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS). The RAS features help to ensure the integrity of the data that is stored in your server, the availability of the server when you need it, and the ease with which you can diagnose and repair problems.
