The Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine also provides system monitoring, event recording, and dial-out alert capability.

Reliability, availability, and serviceability features

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 in the server, the availability of the server when you need it, and the ease with which you can diagnose and repair problems.

The server has the following RAS features:

vAdvanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)

vAdvanced Desktop Management Interface (DMI) features

vIntelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0 support that provides secure remote power on/power off and seven standard alerts for components such as fans, voltage, and thermals

vAutomatic restart after power failure

vAuto-restart initial program load (IPL)

vBoot-block recovery

vBuilt-in, menu-driven configuration and setup programs

vCooling fans with speed-sensing capability

vCustomer-upgradeable basic input/output system (BIOS) code

vECC memory

vError codes and messages

vMenu-driven diagnostic programs on CD

vMonitoring support for temperature, voltage, and fan speed

vParity checking on the SAS bus and PCI bus

vPower-on self-test (POST)

vRead-only memory (ROM) checksums

vSDRAM with serial presence detect (SPD)

vServer management

vStandby voltage for systems management features and monitoring

vSystem error logs

vVital product data (VPD); includes information stored in nonvolatile memory for easier remote viewing
