Reliability, availability, and serviceability features

Three important computer design features are reliability, availability, and
serviceability (RAS). The RAS features help to ensure the integrity of the data that
is stored on your computer, the availability of the computer when you need it, and
the ease with which you can diagnose and repair problems.
Your computer has the following RAS features:

v CD-based diagnostic programs
v Cooling fans with speed-sensing capability
v Error codes and messages
v Error correcting code (ECC) double-data-rate (DDR) synchronous dynamic
v Integrated Ethernet controller
v Monitoring support for temperatures, voltages, and fan speed
v Power-on self-test (POST)
v Predictive Failure Analysis
v Processor serial number access
v Read-only memory (ROM) checksums
v Synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) with serial presence
v Upgradeable basic input/output system (BIOS) and POST code

System administrators can use System Migration Assistant (SMA) to
remotely transfer configurations, profile settings, printer device drivers, and
files from an IBM or non-IBM computer to supported IBM systems.
You can use Software Delivery Assistant to create an image of a single set
of applications that can be deployed to different user groups while taking
into account the users' application needs.
