v Full Array Memory Mirroring (FAMM) redundancy
v Hot-swap cooling fans with speed-sensing capability
v Hot-swap hard disk drives
v Integrated Management Module (IMM)
v Memory mirroring and memory sparing support
v Memory error correcting code and parity test
v Memory down sizing (non-mirrored memory). After a restart of the server after
the memory controller detected a non-mirrored uncorrectable error and the
memory controller cannot recover operationally, the IMM logs the uncorrectable
error and informs POST. POST logically maps out the memory with the
uncorrectable error, and the server restarts with the remaining installed memory.
v Menu-driven setup, system configuration, and redundant array of independent
disks (RAID) configuration programs
v Microprocessor built-in self-test (BIST), internal error signal monitoring, internal
thermal trip signal monitoring, configuration checking, and microprocessor and
voltage regulator module failure identification through light path diagnostics
v Nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) button
v Parity checking on the small computer system interface (SCSI) bus and PCI-E
and PCI buses
v Power management: Compliance with Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface (ACPI)
v Power-on self-test (POST)
v Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) alerts on memory, microprocessors, SAS/SATA
hard disk drives or solid state drives, fans, power supplies, and VRM
v Redundant Ethernet capabilities with failover support
v Redundant hot-swap power supplies and redundant hot-swap fans
v Redundant network interface card (NIC) support
v Remind button to temporarily turn off the system-error LED
v Remote system problem-determination support
v ROM-based diagnostics
v ROM checksums
v Serial Presence Detection (SPD) on memory, VPD on system board, power
supply, and hard disk drive or solid state drive backplanes, microprocessor and
memory expansion tray, and Ethernet cards
v Single-DIMM isolation of excessive correctable error or multi-bit error by the
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)
v Solid state drives
v Standby voltage for system-management features and monitoring
v Startup (boot) from LAN through remote initial program load (RIPL) or dynamic
host configuration protocol/boot protocol (DHCP/BOOTP)
v System auto-configuring from the configuration menu
v System-error logging (POST and IMM)
v Systems-management monitoring through the Inter-Integrated Circuit (IC)
protocol bus
v Uncorrectable error (UE) detection
v Upgradeable POST, Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), diagnostics,
IMM firmware, and read-only memory (ROM) resident code, locally or over the
LAN
v Vital product data (VPD) on microprocessors, system board, power supplies, and
SAS/SATA (hot-swap hard disk drive or solid state drive) backplane
v Wake on LAN capability
