1.2.5 Serviceability Features
Every CDA 7 unit has an integrated service processor that continuously monitors
the CDA 7 environment. The service processor communicates with the Bull
Competence Centers via a customer-supplied, direct phone line. It automatically
dials the Customer Support Center whenever CDA 7 detects a component failure or
environmental violation. A Bull Product Support Engineer at the Bull Competence
Center can also run diagnostics remotely via the service processor to determine the
source of a problem and potentially resolve it before the problem becomes critical.
CDA 7 has a modular design with a low parts count for quick component
replacement should a failure occur. This low parts count minimizes the number of
failure points.
The CDA 7 features non-disruptive replacement of its major components,
including:
• Channel director cards
• Disk director cards
• Cache cards
• Disk devices
• Cooling fan modules
• Communications cards
• Operator panel
• Power supplies
• Service processor
• Battery
