Reliability, availability, and serviceability
Reliability, availability, and serviceability (hereinafter referred to as RAS) are three important server design
features. The RAS features help you to ensure the integrity of the data stored on the server, the availability of
the server when you need it, and the ease with which you can diagnose and correct problems.
Your server has the following RAS features:
• Security features
– Administrator password and user password to help protect unauthorized access to the server (see
“Using passwords” on page 51)
– ThinkServer Trusted Platform Module (TPM), which is a security chip, to help enhance server security
Note: The TPM is only available in some models.
– Remote monitoring or control by an administrator to provide protection or help
– Hot-swap redundant power supplies to help avoid significant interruption to the operation of the
system when a power supply fails
• Basic system management features
– Ability to store the power-on self-test (POST) hardware test results
– BIOS Setup Utility program
The BIOS Setup Utility program helps you view the server information and configure the server in the
pre-operating system environment. See “Using the Setup Utility program” on page 47.
– TMM (also known as BMC) and Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0
The system board platform management subsystem is based on the integrated TMM features. The
TMM is a management chip that is integrated on the system board of your server. With the TMM
