Reliability, availability, and serviceability features 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 the computer, the availability of the computer when you need it, and the ease with which you can diagnose and repair problems. The computer has the following RAS features: v 24 hours a day, 7 days a week1 customer support v 3-year parts and 3-year labor limited warranty v Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) v Automatic computer restart after a power failure v Automatic error retry or recovery v Boot-block recovery v Built-in, menu-driven configuration and setup programs v Built-in, menu-driven SAS configuration programs (some models) v Cooling fan with speed-sensing capability v Error codes and messages v ECC DDR2 SDRAM with serial presence detect (SPD) v Hard disk drive partition-based diagnostic programs v Integrated Ethernet controller v Integrated IEEE 1394A (FireWire) support v Integrated SAS support using a mini-PCI Express adapter v Monitoring support for temperatures, voltages, and fan speed v Power supply error LED v Power-on self-test (POST) v Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) on hard disk drives for early prediction of failures v Predictive Failure Analysis® (PFA) on hard disk drives v Read-only memory (ROM) checksums v Upgradeable basic input/output system (BIOS) and power-on self test (POST) code v Wake on LAN capability 1. Service availability will vary by country. Response time varies; may exclude holidays. Chapter 1. Introducing the IntelliStation Z Pro computer 7
