This chapter contains the following sections:
1.1 Features of the Servers
These servers take full advantage of the exceptional power and performance of the AMD Opteron processor. They include an extensive set of reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features. The servers also provide a remote, integrated lights-out management (ILOM) service processor (SP) function, including remote boot and remote software upgrades.
TABLE 1-1 summarizes and compares the features of the servers.
