v
Redundant connection
The system-board tray 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
Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
The dx360 comes with two Intel dual-core or quad-core Xeon microprocessors.
v
Systems-management capabilities
The dx360 supports IPMI version 2.0 over LAN system management protocol. It
supports an optional rack-level management controller that uses
industry-standard management tools.
Reliability, availability, and serviceability
Three important hardware and software design features are reliability, availability,
and serviceability (RAS). The RAS features help to ensure the integrity of the data
that is stored in the hardware, the availability of the hardware and software when
you need it, and the ease with which you can diagnose and correct problems.
The dx360 system-board tray has the following RAS features:
v
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
v
Advanced Desktop Management Interface (DMI) features
v
Automatic error retry or recovery
v
Automatic memory downsizing on error detection
v
Automatic restart on nonmaskable interrupt (NMI)
v
Automatic Server Restart (ASR) logic supporting a system restart when the
operating system becomes unresponsive
v
Automatic restart after a power failure, based on the BIOS setting
v
Boot-block recovery
v
Built-in monitoring for fan, power, temperature, and voltage
v
Customer support center that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
