add redundant power capabilities. If the maximum load on the server is less than
920 watts and a problem occurs with one of the power supplies, the other power
supply can meet the power requirements.
v ServeRAID support
The server supports ServeRAID adapters to create redundant array of
independent disks (RAID) configurations.
v Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
The server supports up to two Intel Xeon quad-core microprocessors. If the
server comes with only one microprocessor, you can install an additional
microprocessor to enhance performance and provide SMP capability.
v Systems-management capabilities
The server contains an integrated management module (IMM), which enables
you to manage the functions of the server locally and remotely and provides
remote presence and blue-screen capture capability. The IMM also provides
system monitoring and event recording.
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 in
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:
v 3-year parts, 3-year labor limited warranty (1-year warranty is available in limited
geography)
v Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
v Advanced Desktop Management Interface (DMI) features
v Automatic error retry or recovery
v Automatic memory downsizing on error detection
v Automatic restart on nonmaskable interrupt (NMI)
v Automatic Server Restart (ASR) logic supporting a system restart when the
operating system becomes unresponsive
v Automatic server restart after a power failure, based on the Setup utility setting
v Availability of microcode level
v ABR (Automatic BIOS Recovery)
v Built-in, menu-driven setup, system configuration, and redundant array of
independent disks (RAID) configuration
v Built-in monitoring for fan, power, temperature, and voltage
v CD-based diagnostic programs
v Cooling fans with speed-sensing capability
v Customer support center that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
2
v Diagnostic support of ServeRAID adapters
v Error codes and messages
v Error correcting code (ECC) double-data-rate (DDR) synchronous dynamic
random access memory (SDRAM) with serial presence detect (SPD)
v Error logging of POST failures
2. Service availability will vary by country. Response time varies; may exclude holidays.
