100BASE-TX environments. The controller provides full-duplex (FDX) capability,
which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet
local area network (LAN).
Reliability, availability, and serviceability features
Three important computer design features are reliability, availability, and
serviceability (RAS). The RAS features help to ensure the integrity of the data that
is stored on your computer, the availability of the computer when you need it, and
the ease with which you can diagnose and repair problems.
The following is an abbreviated list of the RAS features that your computer
supports. Many of these features are explained in later chapters of this publication.
