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 />
