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 on
the server, the availability of the server when you need it, and the ease with which
you can diagnose and correct problems.
The server has the following RAS features:
v Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
v Advanced Desktop Management Interface (DMI) features
v Automatic error retry or recovery
v Automatic memory downsizing on error detection
v Automatic restart on nonmaskable interrupt (NMI)
v Automatic Server Restart (ASR) logic supporting a system restart when the
operating system becomes unresponsive
v Automatic server restart after a power failure, based on the UEFI setting
v Availability of microcode level
v Automatic BIOS Recovery (ABR)
v Built-in, menu-driven setup, system configuration, and redundant array of
independent disks (RAID) configuration
v Built-in monitoring for fan, power, temperature, and voltage
v Cooling fans with speed-sensing capability
v Customer support center that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

v Diagnostic support of ServeRAID adapters
v Error codes and messages
v Error correcting code (ECC) double-data-rate (DDR) synchronous dynamic
random access memory (SDRAM) with serial presence detect (SPD)
v Error logging of POST failures
v Hot-swap SAS hard disk drives
v Integrated Ethernet controllers
v Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0
v Key-lock support for physical security
v Memory change messages posted to the error log
v Power-on self-test (POST)
v Hardware Failure Prediction alerts
v Read-only memory (ROM) checksums
v Redundant Ethernet capabilities (requires an optional Ethernet adapter) with
failover support
v Standby voltage for systems-management features and monitoring
v System auto-configuring from the configuration menu
v System-error LED on the front bezel and diagnostics LEDs on the system board
v Upgradeable microcode for POST, UEFI, and read-only memory (ROM) resident
code, locally or over a LAN
v VPD: includes serial-number information and replacement part numbers, stored
in nonvolatile memory, for easier remote maintenance
