5.2.6.3 Memory
Memory is of the utmost importance in determining the reliability and performance of any system. Installing memory to capacity is an obvious choice to achieve high performance. However, this will only achieve high performance for the memory of the system, and is an expensive way of ensuring you have optimum memory performance.
To address this issue, look at the memory requirements of the whole system, then round this up to the nearest size of memory available for the system.
So how do you determine the amount of memory required?
List the software that will be running on the system, then add up each of the individual network operating system and application requirements. This basic approach will help you to determine the desired amount of memory. This figure should be used as a guide since there are many factors that will influence the amount of actual memory required within a system.

5.2.6.4 Fans
Fans in today’s
The IBM Netfinity range of servers incorporate a fan monitoring system and a temperature or environmental monitoring system. Sensors constantly monitor the fans rotation and temperature, reporting back to the system management hardware or software of any variation, outside of tolerance.
Some models of IBM Netfinity servers incorporate a "spare fan" design, such that the loss of a single fan will not raise the temperature above the design
