Pci Modules - NEC Express5800 320La System Configuration Manual

Procedure
1. In the ft server utility, select CPU Module #1. The above screen displays.
2. In the Dump section of the display, select whether you want to perform the
memory dump with the CPU module up or down. IF you are performing the
memory dump with the CPU module down, bring down the CPU module by
performing the steps in Bring Up/Bring Down above.
3. Click on Execute button. The memory dump is stored as
%SystemRoot%\memory.dmp on the server. The dump operation is reported
as an alert by ESMPRO. If CPU module 1 was brought down before
performing the Dump procedure, bring this module back up.

PCI Modules

Your server includes two PCI modules that you may monitor using the ft Server
Utility. When you select a PCI module, three PCI maintenance functions are
displayed: MTBF Clear, Stop/Start, and Module Diagnostic. Module Diagnostic
is not supported. This section provides procedures for viewing and using these
functions.
MTBF Information Clear
The MTBF (Mean-Time-Between-Failures) information of a PCI Module may
be cleared (initialized). Your server manages the MTBF of each component.
Each time a fault occurs in a component in a PCI module, the module
recalculates the MTBF of the component. If the calculated value is lower than
the pre-defined threshold, the system performs one of the following predefined
three functions:
!
Use Threshold: MTBF is calculated when a fault occurs. If calculated
MTBF is below the set threshold value, the device is stopped.
!
Never Restart: The device is stopped whenever a fault occurs.
!
Always Restart: The device is rebooted whenever a fault occurs.
