Embedded RAS utility software for continuous monitoring 
(16/01/2007)
Inside the DyaloX IPC series, a separate board, interfaced by embedded RAS utility software, continually monitors the motherboard. Because the RAS board is a stand-alone board, it can gather data from the motherboard no matter what the operating system or hardware conditions are.
The Omron RAS solution can notify you when unstable hardware or software conditions are detected. It can, if needed, take action to automatically resolve errors and enables you to investigate causes of failure.
Warning levels of monitor values can be set manually in the RAS utility. Data logged at time of failure, such as motherboard temperature, voltages, date and time, LCD conditions and other relevant data can all be displayed automatically on restart or manually by making use of the RAS utility software.
So whatever the reason for failure, the RAS board is able to provide a system snapshot just before failure occurs. By analyzing the log data, the trend and cause of failures can be quickly found and rectified for higher reliability in the future.
The DyaloX Industrial PC series with its RAS functionality will help high reliability in PC Based application.
