Hot-plug PCI slots In addition to two standard PCI slots, the server also has five hot-plug PCI slots.
  • Page 11 Introduction Features PCI SAS RAID Controller in its designated PCI slot no. 4 A PCI SAS RAID Controller is provided in the designated slot (no. 4), which allows you to use eight SAS hard disk drives. RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 are supported.
  • Page 12 ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart) restarts the system in case of an error and automatically “hides” the defective system components. The PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu Siemens Computers analyzes and monitors all components that are critical for system reliability.
  • Page 13 Server management is implemented using the ServerView software supplied, in conjunction with PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu Siemens Computers. PDA reports the threat of a system error or overload to the system administrator at an early stage, allowing preventive measures to be taken.
  • Page 14 The diagnostic LEDs on the hot-plug components (power supply units, fans, PCI boards, memory boards, HDD modules) provide additional information. The Global Flash tool supplied with the utilities from Fujitsu Siemens Computers supports a fast remote BIOS update using the LAN interface. The BIOS can be updated locally via USB.
