– Nodes within each blade enclosure exceed SECDED standards by detecting and
correcting 4-bit and 8-bit DRAM failures.
– Detection of all double-component 4-bit DRAM failures occur within a pair of DIMMs.
– 32-bits of error checking code (ECC) are used on each 256 bits of data.
– Automatic retry of uncorrected errors occurs to eliminate potential soft errors.
• Power-on and boot:
– Automatic testing (POST) occurs after you power on the system nodes.
– Processors and memory are automatically de-allocated when a self-test failure occurs.
– Boot times are minimized.
Optional SGI Remote Services (SGI RS)
The optional SGI RS system automatically detects system conditions that indicate potential future
problems and then notifies the appropriate personnel. This enables you and SGI global support
teams to pro-actively support systems and resolve issues before they develop into actual failures.
SGI Remote Services provides a secure connection to SGI Customer Support - on demand. This
can ensure business continuance with SGI systems management and optimization.
