Diagnostics

Easy

LED

Diagnostics

provides

LEDs

to

help

you

diagnose

problems.

For

more

information,

see

the

section

about

Easy

LED

Diagnostics

in

the

Hardware

Maintenance

Manual.

v

Memory

mirroring

Memory

mirroring

improves

the

reliability

of

memory

by

writing

information

to

the

main

memory

and

redundant

locations

in

a

mirrored

pair

of

DIMMs.

v

Online-spare

memory

Online-spare

memory

disables

a

failed

pair

of

DIMMs

from

the

system

configuration

and

activates

an

online-spare

DIMM

pair

to

replace

the

failed

pair.

v

PCI

Express

adapter

capabilities

The

server

has

two

slots

for

low-profile

PCI

Express

x4

adapters.

These

slots

accept

x8

adapters,

but

the

adapters

will

operate

as

x4

adapters.

The

server

also

has

two

slots

for

PCI

Express

x8

adapters

(on

the

riser

card,

full-height,

one

full-length

and

one

half-length).

Note:

You

can

replace

these

PCI

Express

x8

slots

with

PCI-X

133

MHz

slots

by

replacing

the

PCI

Express

riser-card

assembly

with

an

optional

PCI-X

riser-card

assembly.

v

Redundant

connection

The

addition

of

an

optional

network

interface

card

(NIC)

provides

a

failover

capability

to

a

redundant

Ethernet

connection.

If

a

problem

occurs

with

the

primary

Ethernet

connection,

all

Ethernet

traffic

that

is

associated

with

the

primary

connection

is

automatically

switched

to

the

redundant

NIC.

If

the

applicable

device

drivers

are

installed,

this

switching

occurs

without

data

loss

and

without

user

intervention.

v

Redundant

cooling

and

power

capabilities

The

server

supports

up

to

10

hot-swap

fans,

in

multiples

of

5,

which

provide

redundant

cooling.

Redundant

cooling

enables

continued

operation

if

one

of

the

fans

fails.

The

server

supports

up

to

two

835-watt

ac

power

supplies,

which

provide

redundancy

and

hot-swap

capability

for

a

typical

configuration.

If

the

maximum

load

on

the

server

is

less

than

835

watts

and

a

problem

occurs

with

one

of

the

power

supplies,

the

other

power

supply

can

meet

the

power

requirements.

Note:

A

700-watt-48

volt

dc

power

supply

option

may

be

available.

The

dc

power

supplies

provide

redundancy

but

no

hot-swap

capability.

v

RAID

support

The

server

supports

an

internal

ServeRAID-8k

or

8k-l

SAS

Controller,

which

is

required

for

you

to

use

the

hot-swap

hard

disk

drives

and

to

create

redundant

array

of

independent

disks

(RAID)

configurations.
