ES7000 Model 7600R G2 Installation and User's Guide

The ES7000 Model 7600R G2 Server
The DSA Preboot diagnostic programs are stored in integrated USB memory and
collect and analyze system information to aid in diagnosing server problems. The
diagnostic programs collect the following information about the server:
- Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors
- Hard disk drive health
- Installed hardware
- Light path diagnostics status
- Network interfaces and settings
- RAID controller configuration
- Service processor status and configuration
- System configuration
- Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI configuration
For additional information about DSA, see the Problem Determination and Service
Guide.
• Redundant connection
The addition of an optional network interface card (NIC) provides a failover capability to
a redundant Ethernet connection. If a problem occurs with the primary Ethernet
connection, all Ethernet traffic that is associated with the primary connection is
automatically switched to the redundant NIC. If the applicable device drivers are
installed, this switching occurs without data loss and without user intervention.
• Redundant cooling and power capabilities
The redundant cooling of the fans in the server enables continued operation if one of
the fans fails. The server supports two hot-swap power supplies, which provide
redundant power when connected to a 208-240v source.
• ServeRAID support
The server supports ServeRAID controllers to create redundant array of
independent disks (RAID) configurations.
• Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
The server supports up to four multi-core Intel Xeon microprocessors. One or more
multi-core microprocessors provides SMP capability.
Reliability, availability, and serviceability
Three important server design features are reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS).
The RAS features help to ensure the integrity of the data that is stored in the server, the
availability of the server when you need it, and the ease with which you can diagnose and
correct problems.
The server has the following RAS features:
