Appendix B. SSA RAID Adapter Service Request Numbers

B.0 Appendix B. SSA RAID Adapter Service Request Numbers

"Array Problems" in topic 4.2 describes how errors are reported and logged for the adapter and the disk drives attached to it. These reports and logs contain service request numbers (SRNs) which lead to detailed descriptions of the problems.

The following table lists the SRNs that apply to the adapter card, with descriptions of each problem and what you should do to solve the problem. The SSA RAID Adapter: Hardware Maintenance Manual Supplement provides more details of these SRNs; this information is primarily for service representatives.

Other SRNs refer to the disk drives that are attached to the adapter and to the unit in which those disk drives are installed. For details of those SRNs, refer to the Installation and User's Guide or the Hardware Maintenance Manual Supplement for that unit.

DDR3 allows for improved bandwidth, enabling quicker access to data stored in memory. Its lower power consumption is also a significant advantage, making the IBM 32H3816 a cost-effective choice for businesses looking to optimize energy usage while maintaining high performance.

The memory module is designed with advanced reliability features, such as ECC (Error-Correcting Code) capability. ECC ensures that data integrity is maintained by detecting and correcting common types of internal data corruption. This feature is particularly important for mission-critical applications where data accuracy is paramount. Users can expect enhanced stability and reduced risk of system crashes that could lead to data loss.

IBM has engineered the 32H3816 with temperature and voltage tolerance in mind, which makes it suitable for use in various server configurations. These characteristics ensure that the module functions optimally even in challenging environments, thus prolonging its lifespan. The compatibility with multiple IBM server models also adds to its versatility, enabling businesses to upgrade existing systems seamlessly.

In conclusion, the IBM 32H3816 memory module stands out for its robust capacity, advanced technologies, and reliability features. It is an essential component for organizations requiring high-performance computing solutions, offering a blend of efficiency, speed, and stability. With the ongoing evolution of IT demands, investing in quality memory modules like the IBM 32H3816 can significantly enhance overall system performance and productivity.
