The Ethernet controller in the server support TOE, which is a technology that<br />

offloads the TCP/IP flow from the microprocessor and I/O subsystem to increase<br />

the speed of the TCP/IP flow. When an operating system that supports TOE is<br />

running on the server and TOE is enabled, the server supports TOE operation.<br />

See the operating-system documentation for information about enabling TOE.<br />

The Windows operating system requires that the Windows Scalable Network<br />

Pack (SNP) be installed for TOE support.<br />

Note: As of the date of this document, the Linux operating system does not<br />

support TOE.<br />

Reliability, availability, and serviceability<br />

Three important server design features are reliability, availability, and serviceability<br />

(RAS). The RAS features help to ensure the integrity of the data that is stored in<br />

the server, the availability of the server when you need it, and the ease with which<br />

you can diagnose and repair problems.<br />

The server might have the following RAS features (the features vary depending on<br />

your model):<br />

v 1-year parts and 1-year labor limited warranty (Machine Type 7327) and 3-year<br />

parts and 3-year labor limited warranty (Machine Type 7328)<br />

v Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)<br />

v Advanced Desktop Management Interface (DMI) features<br />

v Automatic BIOS recovery to a backup image<br />

v Automatic error retry or recovery<br />

v Automatic memory downsizing on error detection<br />

v Automatic restart on nonmaskable interrupt (NMI)<br />

v Automatic Server Restart (ASR) logic supporting a system restart when the<br />

operating system becomes unresponsive<br />

v Automatic server restart after a power failure, based on the UEFI setting<br />

v Availability of microcode level<br />

v Boot-block recovery<br />

v Built-in, menu-driven setup, system configuration, and redundant array of<br />

independent disks (RAID) configuration<br />

v Built-in monitoring for fan, power, temperature, and voltage<br />

v Cooling fans with speed-sensing capability<br />

v Customer support center that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week 2<br />

v Diagnostic support of ServeRAID adapters<br />

v Error codes and messages<br />

v Error correcting code (ECC) double-data-rate 3 (DDR3) synchronous dynamic<br />

random-access memory (SDRAM) with serial presence detect (SPD)<br />

v Error logging of POST failures<br />

v Hot-swap Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and hot-swap Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk<br />

drives<br />

v Integrated Ethernet controller<br />

v Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)<br />

v Key-lock support for physical security<br />

2. Service availability will vary by country. Response time varies; may exclude holidays.<br />
