Recovering BIOS Data
Two system BIOSes, primary and secondary, are used to realize the duplex configuration.
Normally, the system operates with the primary BIOS. If a primary BIOS data error occurs or if the device containing
the system BIOS fails, control is immediately transferred to the secondary BIOS. Thus, the activation of the system is
ensured.
At shipment, the latest version of system BIOS is stored both in the primary and the secondary BIOS. If you execute the
system BIOS update, the secondary BIOS is updated, and the updated BIOS becomes the primary BIOS. Thereafter, the
system is activated from that primary BIOS.
SAF-TE Logic
The SCSI backplane includes SAF-TE (SCSI Accessed Fault Tolerant Enclosure) logic that provides an interface to the
disk subsystem that supports status signals, hot swapping drives, and enclosure monitoring.
The transport mechanism for the standardized alert detection and status reporting is the SCSI bus. Disk drives, power
supplies, cooling fans, and temperature are continually monitored and the conditions then reported over the SCSI bus to
the system. When used with RAID management software the user can be alerted of impending or imminent disk
conditions requiring attention. This allows the user to react to conditions that could normally go unnoticed until data
loss.
System Cooling
The chassis includes a hot-swappable fan module with six fans for cooling the processor(s), hard drives, and PCI cards.
The fan system is located in the middle of the chassis to pull cooling air through the chassis.
