features
The design of the ProLiant ML570 G2 server is modular, robust, and easily serviceable so
that the customer can be focused on running his business rather than the server. The system
can also be upgraded and expanded with minimum cost to the customer. The intent of the
rugged design is to be able to handle customer needs now and well into the future as his
business expands and grows. That way, the initial investment is protected with reduction in
total cost of ownership at the same time.
Table 14 highlights some key performance features of the ProLiant ML570 G2 server.

Description
Bank level failover. Up to seven banks of memory
(across one or two memory banks) can be
protected using this method.
Available only in mirrored configuration. When
two memory boards are configured as mirror
during setup, a failed DIMM on a board can be
replaced without bringing down the server.
Two memory cards are configured as mirror of
each other. All writes go to both cards while
reads go to the primary memory card. All are
When a failure occurs on the primary, the reads
are automatically redirected to the secondary
memory card.
A unique and robust management solution
through a combination of self-healing features
and an optional PCI based lights-out
management board.
