Hardware watchdog
The IBM x306m and HP DL320 G4 servers offer a hardware watchdog. The watchdog timer is programmed during the server startup and requires continuous resets from a daemon running in Linux. The watchdog timer is based on the current ISP1100 server, which is 5 minutes.
The server is reset if the watchdog timer is not reset within the allotted time. The operating system and applications are reloaded from disk and started after the server reset occurs. The following conditions can trigger the watchdog:
