[. . . ] Shutdown Monitoring: Provides notification of failures that occur while shutting down or rebooting. External Power Supply Under voltage/Interruption Monitoring: Detects abnormal power interruptions for the external power supply. Temperature Monitoring: Detects abnormal temperatures in the Motherboard. Voltage Monitoring: Detects abnormal power supply voltages in the Motherboard. Cumulative Operating Time Monitoring: Detects excessive cumulative operating time. RAS Board Monitoring: Detects failures with the RAS Board. LCD Monitoring: Detects failures with the LCD. Action on Failures (forced shut down/forced reboot) RAS can take action where a failure is detected. The following functions are provided: · · · · Rebooting the system automatically when the operating system freezes Starting the system and restoring operation automatically after the Motherboard stops because of a failure, such as overheating Repeating reboot attempts automatically until the system is successfully activated, if the system hangs-up at startup Forcefully terminating the system automatically when the system takes too much time to shut down. Failure Notification The Failure Notification function reports a failure when it occurs or after the system recovers from the failure. It notifies the user of a failure with a pop-up message that allows the user to immediately identify the situation. · · · · The user is notified of power failure that causes shutdown of the system. When the system goes down due to some failure, this function notifies the user of the nature of the failure and the status of the Industrial PC after the system recovers from the failure. The user is immediately notified of any abnormal temperature or voltage in the Motherboard. The user is notified that LCD Backlight lifetime is nearing its limit. 12 ! 4. 1. 2 Logging Function and Log Analysis Function The system keeps a log of operational events as well as of the status of the Industrial PC (temperature, voltage, etc. ) in memory. The logs are saved in the RAS Board memory even if the Industrial PC cannot start due to a failure, so the user can analyze the log based on the information stored in the RAS memory in order to identify the cause of the failure. The RAS Utility includes Filter and Find functions to analyze logs. These functions allow the user to analyze the logs more effectively by specifying events in a particular period or classifying events in categories. The RAS Utility allows the user to import/export log files. The user may export log files to save logs to a file on a regular basis. The user may also import log files to compare and analyze past logs with logs currently in the memory or to conduct log analysis on another PC. 4. 2 RAS Utility software The RAS utility software is the GUI to the RAS system. This software informs the user of failures, warnings, and statuses and also allows the user to configure RAS. The RAS utility is started when the users logs in on Windows. The small icon shown in the picture below (icon in red square) shows this. This icon shows the present status of the RAS. [. . . ] Action Shutdo RAS Utility executes OS shutdown when the Power Failure wn Signal is detected. The time RAS waits until it shuts down the DyaloX after detecting a PF signal. Normally this time is set according to the battery capacity of the UPS and the time needed to safely close the applications currently running on the DyaloX. 20 ! 4. 2. 2 Clear Failure(s) Most failures will automatically be removed from the Main RAS window, however some monitoring failures will remain visible even if the original failure has been resolved already. You can manually clear the RAS errors when the failure itself has been resolved. [. . . ]
