Introduction
xvii
Server Management
The system comes with the ASM Pro feature that monitors voltage
stability and CPU temperature, prevents data loss by prompt ECC
memory error reporting, maximizes system resources by indicating
the PCI bus utilization, and promotes efficiency by minimizing system
downtime.
A feature related to ASM Pro is Remote Diagnostic Management
(RDM) that permits system diagnosis from a remote site through a
modem. RDM facilitates the fixing of detected problems, changing
system configurations or rebooting in the event of system failure.
Hot-swappable Redundant Power Supply Subsystem
The system comes with a power backplane that holds up to three 430-
watt power supply modules. The power subsystem supports a
redundant configuration such that even if one power supply fails, the
remaining two continue to work together to supply 860-watt power to a
fully-configured system. You can also replace a faulty power supply
module without opening the system housing or shutting down the
system. See section 2.5 for more information.
Hot-swappable Redundant Housing Fan
The system comes with four housing fans that ventilate the system
housing. In the event that any one of the fans fails to operate, you
can simply replace it without shutting down the system. See section
2.6 for more information.
Security
The system housing comes with mechanical security locks on the
front panel to prevent unauthorized access to the internal components
and system use. Also, a microswitch located on the left side of the
housing panel warns you of intrusion.
