Microway Testing Procedure:

Each computer system is network booted to execute low-level memory tests for 12+ hours.

Once passed, operating systems are loaded and Linux stress tests are executed for 48+ hours. These tests include processor and memory intensive applications that have been shown to cause faults in the field. A separate set of tests accesses all sectors on each hard drive and runs filesystem-intensive applications to ensure drive and filesystem reliability.

IPMI management capability is integrated on the motherboard. IPMI allows administrators to remotely monitor and control each computer individually. Capabilities include:

* System Power On, Power Off and Reset

* Monitor Fan Speeds, Component Temperatures and Voltages

* Remote Serial Console and KVM Access

* Virtual Media: local devices (CD, USB, etc) appear as directly connected to remote system
