Reliability, availability, and serviceability Three important computer 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 computer when you need it, and the ease with which you can diagnose and repair problems. Your server has the following RAS features: v Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) v Automatic restart after a power failure v Baseboard management controller (service processor) v Basic input/output system (BIOS) code boot-block recovery v Chipkill memory protection v Cooling fans with speed control v Customer support center 24 hours per day, 7 days a week2 v Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) small computer system interface (SCSI) data bus v Diagnostic CD v Diagnostic LEDs on the system board v Diagnostic support of Ethernet adapters and redundant array of independent disks (RAID) adapters v Double-data-rate synchronous dynamic RAM (DDR SDRAM) with serial presence detect (SPD) v Error checking and correcting (ECC) memory v Error codes and messages v Failover Ethernet support v Hot-swap drive bays (some models) v Menu-driven setup, system configuration, RAID configuration, and diagnostic programs v Microprocessor built-in self-test (BIST) v Monitoring support for temperatures, voltages, and fan speed v Peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus parity v Power-on self-test (POST) v Predictive Failure Analysis® (PFA) feature on hard disk drives v Read-only memory (ROM) checksums v Remote system problem-analysis support v Status LEDs on the system board v System error logging v Upgradeable BIOS code and baseboard management controller firmware v Vital product data (VPD), including serial-number information and replacement part numbers, stored in complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) memory, for easier remote maintenance v Wake on LAN capability 2. Service availability will vary by country. Response time will vary depending on the number and nature of incoming calls. Chapter 1. Introducing the 325 Type 8835 server 5 Eserver
