Reliability, availability, and serviceability
Reliability, availability, and serviceability (hereinafter referred to as RAS) are three important server design
features. The RAS features help you to ensure the integrity of the data stored on the server, the availability of
the server when you need it, and the ease with which you can diagnose and correct problems.
Your server has the following RAS features:
• Security features
– Administrator password and user password to help protect unauthorized access to the server (see
"Using passwords" on page 25)
– ThinkServer Trusted Platform Module (TPM), which is a security chip, to help enhance server security
Note: The TPM is only available in some models.
– Remote monitoring or control by an administrator to provide protection or help
• Basic system management features
– Ability to store the power-on self-test (POST) hardware test results
– BIOS Setup Utility program
The BIOS Setup Utility program helps you view the server information and configure the server in the
pre-operating system environment. See "Using the Setup Utility program" on page 21.
– Intel Rapid Storage Technology enterprise (RSTe)
Intel RSTe is a device driver that provides support for SATA or SAS RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 arrays on
specific Intel chipset system boards to enhance hard disk drive performance.
– Preboot Execution Environment (PXE)
The Intel PXE technology enables you to boot your computers, load an operating system, or deploy
executable images from a remote server by using a network interface. The operation can be done
independently of local data storage devices (such as hard disk drives) or operating systems.
– Software programs
For more information about the software programs, see "Software" on page 10.
– Wake on LAN
When the Wake on LAN feature is enabled on a computer that is connected to a LAN, a network
administrator can remotely turn on or wake up the computer from a management console using remote
network management software. Besides, many other functions, such as data transfer and software
updates, can be performed remotely without remote attendance and can be done after normal working
hours and on weekends to save time and increase productivity.
