additional security by separating the management network traffic from theproduction network. You can use the Setup utility to configure the server to usea dedicated systems-management network or a shared network.Reliability, availability, and serviceabilityThree important computer design features are reliability, availability, andserviceability (RAS). The RAS features help to ensure the integrity of the data thatis stored in the server, the availability of the server when you need it, and the easewith which you can diagnose and correct problems.The server has the following RAS features:v Automatic error retry and recoveryv Automatic restart after a power failurev Built-in monitoring for fan, power, temperature, voltage, and power-supplyredundancyv Cable-presence detection on most connectorsv Chipkill memory protectionv Dual redundant UEFI server firmware imagesv Error codes and messagesv Error correcting code (ECC) L2 cache and system memoryv Cooling fans with speed-sensing capabilityv Hot-swap hard disk drives (for servers that support such drives)v Information and light path diagnostics LED panelsv Integrated management module (service processor)v Memory mirroringv Menu-driven setup, system configuration, and redundant array of independentdisks (RAID) configuration programsv Parity checking or CRC checking on the serially-attached SCSI (SAS) bus andPCI busesv Power management: compliance with Advanced Configuration and PowerInterface (ACPI)v Power-on self-test (POST)v Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) alerts on memory, SAS/SATA hard disk drivesand fansv Redundant Ethernet capabilities with failover supportv Redundant hot-swap power suppliesv Remote system problem-determination supportv Standby voltage for systems-management features and monitoringv Startup (boot) from LAN through Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) bootagent utility or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol/Boot Protocol(DHCP/BOOTP)v System auto-configuring from the configuration menuv System error logging (POST and service processor)v Systems-management monitoring through the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) busv Upgradeable POST, UEFI, diagnostics, service processor microcode, andread-only memory (ROM) resident code, locally or over the LANv Vital product data (VPD) on microprocessors, system board, power supplies, andSAS (hot-swap-drive) backplanev Wake on LAN capability for remote power up14 System x3650 M4 BD Type 5466: Installation and Service Guide
