Reliability, availability,

serviceability

features

Three of the most important factors in server design are reliability,

serviceability

(RAS). These

factors

help

to

ensure

the

integrity

of

th

on

your

server; that your server is available when

you

want

to

use

should

a

failure occur, you can possibly

diagnose

the

failure

and

with

minimal

inconvenience.

Upgradable BIOS

When BIOS upgrades are available, you can download a CD image from t http://www.ibm.com/pc/support Web pages. Instructions for applying the BIOS

upgrade	will be on the CD. If		you	are	unable to	create a CD	yours
order a	BIOS upgrade	CD from	the	IBM	HelpCenter	(1-800-772-2227	in the
States,	1-800-565-3344 in	Canada).

Placement considerations

Multiple servers can be interconnected

to

serve

as

a

single

group,

o

rack can contain multiple groups of servers.

Generally, the number of servers you

can

install

in

a

rack

depends

o

power distribution units (PDUs), uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs),

devices you have installed in

the rack.

Notes:

1. You

must

connect

the

power

cord of each IBM Netfinity 4000R to

properly-grounded PDU. See the ServerProven list at

http://www.ibm.com/pc/netfinity to

locate

a

PDU.
