Provides notification of failures that occur while the OS is running (i.e.,
from startup to shutdown). The RAS Board periodically communicates
with the RAS Middleware on the Motherboard to monitor the OS status.
Provides notification of failures that occur while starting (i.e., from
turning ON the power supply until startup has been completed).
Monitors startup after the power supply is turned ON to see if startup is
completed within the set time.
Provides notification of failures that occur while shutting down or
rebooting. Monitors shutdown after a command to shut down the OS
has been given to see if shutdown is completed within the set time.
Recover processing will be automatically performed when there is
notification of a failure. If a forced shutdown is specified, the power
supply to the Industrial PC will be turned OFF. If a forced reboot is
specified, the power supply to the Industrial PC will be turned OFF and
then back on to reboot.
Monitors the external power supply for abnormal power interruptions.
Measures the operating time of the Motherboard and LCD backlight.
