Viewing the System Event Log

To view the System Event Log (SEL):

1. From the SSU Main window, choose SEL Manager.

When you start the SEL Manager, it automatically loads the current list of events from non-volatile memory.

2.Use the <F4> and <F5> keys to scroll the window contents to the left and right to view all of the columns.

3.Use the File and SEL menu items to work with the SEL information:

Open: Views data from a previously saved SEL file.

Save As: Saves the currently loaded SEL data to a file.

Properties: Displays information about the SEL.

Clear SEL: Clears the SEL data from the nonvolatile storage area.

Reload: Refreshes the display by reading the current SEL entries from the server.

Sort By: Sorts the displayed events by event number, time stamp, sensor type and number, event description, or event generator ID.

Viewing FRU Information

To view the Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information:

1. From the SSU Main window, choose FRU Manager.

When you start the FRU Manager, it automatically loads the current list of events from non-volatile memory.

The FRU Manager window has a navigation pane on the left that displays, in a tree format, the inventory of components in the server. The tree has three categories: Chassis, Board, and Product. Clicking on a category expands or collapses a list of components for that category. Clicking on an individual component displays the FRU information for that component in the presentation pane in the upper right. The description pane in the lower right displays a description of the currently selected FRU area.

2.Use the <F4> and <F5> keys to scroll the window contents to the left and right to view all of the columns.

3.Use the File and FRU menu items to work with the FRU information:

Open: Views data from a previously saved FRU file.

Save As: Saves the currently loaded FRU data to a file.

Properties: Displays the number of FRU devices in the system and the number being displayed. Only FRU devices with valid FRU areas are displayed.

Reload: Refreshes the display by reading the current FRU entries from the server.

SHG2 specifications

Intel SHG2, short for Server High-Performance GPU 2, represents a significant evolution in graphics technology designed to meet the demanding requirements of data centers and high-performance computing applications. Developed to support a range of workloads, SHG2 is particularly optimized for artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics.

One of the defining features of the Intel SHG2 is its impressive processing power. With numerous cores capable of parallel processing, it can execute multiple tasks simultaneously, leading to faster computation times. This architecture makes it incredibly efficient for applications that require heavy calculations and real-time data processing.

The SHG2 also embraces advanced fabrication technologies, moving to smaller nodes that enhance power efficiency while delivering higher performance. These innovations not only allow for improved thermal management but also contribute to the reduction of overall energy consumption, making the SHG2 a more environmentally friendly choice for server operations.

In terms of memory support, the SHG2 offers a robust configuration, accommodating high-bandwidth memory (HBM) that ensures quick access to critical data. This feature is essential for applications needing rapid data retrieval and integration, such as deep learning models where every millisecond counts.

Moreover, the SHG2 is built with compatibility in mind. It integrates seamlessly with existing Intel architectures, allowing organizations to leverage their current investments while upgrading their processing capabilities. This compatibility makes it easier for businesses to enhance their infrastructure without undergoing a complete overhaul of their systems.

Another salient characteristic of the Intel SHG2 is its support for virtualization. This allows multiple workloads to be handled simultaneously on a single GPU, maximizing resource utilization and enhancing overall system performance. As enterprises increasingly adopt cloud-based solutions, the ability to virtualize GPU resources becomes critical.

Security is also a major consideration in the design of the SHG2. Intel has incorporated various security features to ensure that data is protected against unauthorized access and vulnerabilities that could threaten system integrity.

As businesses increasingly turn to AI and machine learning to drive innovation, the Intel SHG2 positions itself as an essential tool for those looking to harness the power of advanced computing. With its impressive features, powerful performance, and forward-thinking design, is a strategic choice for organizations aiming to enhance their computational capabilities and meet the challenges of tomorrow's technological landscape.
