Real-Time Clock

A real-time clock maintains correct time regardless of power conditions or connectivity.

Latency

The Cisco SFS 7000P Server Switch has port to port latency of less than 200ns.

The Cisco SFS 7000D Server Switch has port to port latency of less than 140ns

Nonvolatile Memory

The nonvolatile memory supports the following items:

Three stored system images (not including recovery image)

One week of log files at normal verbosity and one day of log files at maximum verbosity

Diagnostics

The following tests are used to determine operational status:

POST is performed on all system components and is required during power-on to determine operational readiness.

Tests are available to check the operational status of the redundant component periodically during normal operation, including the logic required to perform the transition from faulted or primary to redundant component. The test reports the detection of an abnormal status.

Some other diagnostics that you can perform are card self-test, chassis self-test, and fan self-test. See Chapter 6, “Hardware Diagnostic Tests” for more information.
