Configuring to Reduce System Failures
Sun Microsystems servers have been designed with enhanced system availability in mind. This has been accomplished through component count reduction, strict quality control, environmental monitoring, and the removal of active components from critical field replaceable units (FRUs). Memory error correction code (ECC) has been adopted on all servers to minimize system downtime caused by faulty single in-line memory modules (SIMMs) and dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs).
Sun Microsystems servers enable hot-swapping of some components (for example, power supplies and cooling fans). Adding redundancy to subsystem components such as power and cooling modules can provide immediate availability improvement if faulty ...
