hREST can be integrated into the existing server management platforms to enrich management 
capabilities. 
HDM has the following advantages: 
•  Support for the full lifecycle fault diagnosis system, SDS 
HDM Smart Diagnose System (SDS) is an intelligent device diagnosis solution for the entire 
lifecycle, enabling quick and accurate detection and diagnosis of major hardware failures on 
servers. SDS collects basic data during server hardware failures, including sensors, CPLD, 
registers, and event logs. Based on a historical hardware failure diagnosis database, SDS 
analyzes and locates the causes of hardware failures, ultimately providing a fault diagnosis 
report. 
•  Fault diagnosis and pre-fault diagnosis, with an accuracy rate of up to 95%. 
•  Powerful out-of-band firmware upgrade 
  Supports out-of-band firmware upgrades for HDM, BIOS, CPLD, power supplies, network 
adapters, storage controllers, hard drives, and LCD, covering a very comprehensive range 
of components. 
  Supports HDM patch upgrade, providing a seamless upgrade experience for HDM users. 
  Supports scheduling upgrades according to maintenance windows, and establishing a 
firmware repository for more convenient firmware version management. 
FIST provides the following advantages: 
•  Focuses on the centralized intelligent management of H3C-proprietary servers and supports 
three installation methods, including the no-installation option. 
•  Features intelligent deployment with a composable architecture. FIST supports the core 
functionality of the composable architecture, leading the next generation of infrastructure 
management. Composability highlights composable scheduling, which simplifies deployment 
by quickly integrating and decomposing resources on demand. 
•  Provides value-added features to enhance business operations, such as server check. 
REPO has the following advantages: 
•  Supports customizing a server upgrade package at http://supportrepo.h3c.com. 
•  Support customizing firmware and driver image files on the official website based on hardware 
configuration and OSs, minimizing the need to download firmware and driver image files. 
•  Supports comprehensive out-of-band firmware upgrade for HDM, BIOS, and other components 
by mounting REPO to HDM. 
•  Supports various upgrade scenarios including offline upgrade, bulk firmware upgrade, and bulk 
driver upgrade by mounting REPO to FIST.
