Power-on and boot:
Automatic testing occurs after you power on the system. (These power-on self-tests or
POSTs are also referred to as power-on diagnostics or PODs).
Processors and memory are automatically de-allocated when a self-test failure occurs.
Boot times are minimized.
Further RAS features:
Optional RAID 1 in base I/O (IA2 blade), check with your SGI sales or service
representative for availability. Note that RAID 0 (striping), while supported by the IA2
hardware, is not recommended as a RAS option.
Systems have a local field-replaceable unit (FRU) analyzer.
All system faults are logged in files.
Memory can be scrubbed using error checking code (ECC) when a single-bit error
occurs.
