Reliability, availability, and serviceability

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

The server has the following RAS features:

vAdvanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)

vAdvanced Desktop Management Interface (DMI) features

vAutomatic error retry or recovery

vAutomatic memory downsizing on error detection

vAutomatic restart on nonmaskable interrupt (NMI)

vAutomatic Server Restart (ASR) logic supporting a system restart when the operating system becomes unresponsive

vAutomatic server restart after a power failure, based on the UEFI setting

vAvailability of microcode level

vAutomatic BIOS Recovery (ABR)

vBuilt-in, menu-driven setup, system configuration, and redundant array of independent disks (RAID) configuration

vBuilt-in monitoring for fan, power, temperature, and voltage

vCooling fans with speed-sensing capability

vCustomer support center that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week1

vDiagnostic support of ServeRAID adapters

vError codes and messages

vError correcting code (ECC) double-data-rate (DDR) synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) with serial presence detect (SPD)

vError logging of POST failures

vHot-swap SAS hard disk drives

vIntegrated Ethernet controllers

vIntelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0

vKey-lock support for physical security

vMemory change messages posted to the error log

vPower-on self-test (POST)

vHardware Failure Prediction alerts

vRead-only memory (ROM) checksums

vRedundant Ethernet capabilities (requires an optional Ethernet adapter) with failover support

vStandby voltage for systems-management features and monitoring

vSystem auto-configuring from the configuration menu

vSystem-error LED on the front bezel and diagnostics LEDs on the system board

vUpgradeable microcode for POST, UEFI, and read-only memory (ROM) resident code, locally or over a LAN

vVPD: includes serial-number information and replacement part numbers, stored in nonvolatile memory, for easier remote maintenance
