Availability

• Standard Advanced ECC functionality detects and corrects single bit and specific multi-bit memory errors (4bit and 8bit) while using industry standard registered DIMMS. Functionality is embedded in the chipset design.
• Compaq Advanced Memory Protection Technology ⁵ – delivers unsurpassed memory protection and server availability:
• Online Spare Memory
  Offers a higher level of memory protection than Advanced ECC alone. If the number of single-bit correctable errors on a bank exceeds the pre-defined error threshold, that bank will fail over to the online spare bank without intervention or server interruption. Online spare memory can be configured across one or two memory cards. The failed memory can then be replaced at the user’s convenience during a scheduled maintenance window. 
• Single-Board Mirrored Memory
  Single-board mirrored memory provides a higher level of availability than Advanced ECC and Online Spare Memory because it protects against multi-bit errors. Single-board Mirrored Memory uses mirrored banks on a single memory board that is configured with one redundant bank of memory. The system writes to both banks, but reads from one. If a DIMM(s) has a multi-bit error, the system simply reads from the mirrored bank instead. This process occurs without intervention or server interruption, and the failed DIMM can be replaced during a regularly scheduled shutdown. 
• Hot Plug Mirrored Memory ⁶
  Hot Plug Mirrored Memory is a fault-tolerant memory feature that provides a higher level of availability than Advanced ECC, Online Spare Memory, or Single-Board Mirrored Memory because it protects against multi-bit errors and does not require any server downtime to replace failed DIMMs. Hot Plug Mirrored Memory requires that two memory boards be installed, one an exact mirror of the other, which run in parallel and provide protection against multi-bit memory errors. When configured for Hot Plug Mirrored Memory, the system writes to both memory boards, but reads from one. If a read error occurs, the system fails over to the redundant memory board. At that point the memory board containing the failed DIMMs can be hot replaced. Once the failed DIMMs are replaced and the memory board re-installed into the server, the system goes back to full mirrored status. All this occurs without bringing the server down. 
• PCI-X Hot Plug Technology (Four 64bit/100MHz PCI-X hot plug slots available)
• Smart Array 5i Plus Controller with standard Battery Backed Write Cache (BBWC) Enabler provides transportable data protection and increases overall controller performance. Up to 64MB Battery Backed Write Cache protection available on 2P DL580 G2 models (BBWC Enabler is optional on 1P model.)
• Redundant Cooling Zones across major server subsystems (Memory, I/O, CPU) provide 7x24 cooling. Each zone is independent of each other and is able to support n+1 redundancy, as indicated below:
• PCI-X expansion zone is 1+1 redundant (fans 1 and 2)
• Memory zone is 1+1 redundant (fans 3 and 4)
• CPU zone is 2+1 redundant (fans 5, 6, and 7) 

This zone configuration enables the server to withstand up to three fan failures, provided that they are not within the same zone. All seven fans are provided with the base system. Each fan is hot plug redundant and individually removable. 

• Up to four Hot Plug Ultra3/Ultra4 Drive Bays
• Duplex or Simplex SCSI Backplane (Duplex configuration is standard)
• Dual Hot Plug Redundant Power Supplies (standard on 2P Models, one ships standard on 1P Models.)

Note 1: Advanced ECC Memory Technology protects the data even in the event of an entire SDRAM component failure. Embedded in the chipset design, this feature allows the use of Industry-Standard Registered DIMMs.
Note 2: 32 GB achieved with use of 2nd, optional memory board and 2GB Registered DIMM sticks. 
Note 3: The Smart Array 5i Plus Controller is integrated on the system board and is designed to support the duplex/simplex drive cage. An external SCSI port is not available on the DL580 G2. External SCSI solutions require the addition of a PCI or PCI-X option card.
Note 4: Safely transport your write cache data to another DL580 G2 in the data center be removing the BBWC Enabler and 5i Plus Memory Module simultaneously (connected by short cable).
Note 5: All Compaq Advanced Memory Protection modes are user configurable through the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) and viewable through Compaq Insight Manager 7 (CIM 7) and the Integrated Management Log (IML.)
Note 6: Hot Plug Mirrored Memory and Dual-Board Online Spare Memory require the use of two memory cards. All DL580 G2 servers ship standard with a single memory board. The second memory board is optional (P/N 203320-B21)
