Reconfiguration

If a CPU or a memory DIMM board error was detected during execution of POST (Power On Self-Test) after system power is turned on, the reconfiguration function isolates the failed CPU or memory DIMM board and continues operation. You should replace the failed device as soon as possible.

This function is enabled only when the following system requirements are met:

!Two or more CPUs are installed.

!Eight memory DIMM boards are installed.

A CPU or memory DIMM board error may be viewed on the screen while POST is running or by entering BIOS Setup. It may also be viewed when the ESMPRO Suite program is installed and operating.

Optional UPS

The optional Uninterruptible Power Source (UPS) is a high-performance, line- interactive supply that provides clean, reliable AC power to system rack components to protect them from power blackouts, brownouts, swells, sags, surges, and interference. The UPS also filters out small utility line fluctuations and isolates equipment from large disturbances by internally disconnecting from the utility line, while supplying power from its internal batteries until the utility line returns to safe levels.

Note: While running on battery, an internal alarm will sound (periodic beeps). The TEST/ALARM DISABLE button may be pressed to silence the UPS alarm.

If the utility power does not return, the UPS will continue to supply power to the connected equipment until exhausted. At this time a continuous beeping sounds two minutes before the UPS final low battery shutdown. If using a computer, you must manually save your files and power down before the UPS turns itself off, unless you are using UPS monitoring software that provides automatic, unattended shutdown.

The UPS provides a bidirectional communications port to coordinate a safe shutdown with most popular operating systems.

Your UPS also provides diagnostic and management features that include:

!Scheduled server shutdowns

!Interactive and scheduled battery testing

!Detailed power quality logging

Additionally, the UPS monitoring software allows extensive UPS management via the LAN or modem.

The optional UPS ships with power management and diagnostic software.
