Description
Intel RAS (reliability, availability and serviceability) validation framework now utilizes the
Keysight U4305B PCIe 3.0 exerciser card to enable fault and error injection for testing of
RAS features, allowing you to ensure the system performance, resiliency, and reliability
when faults occur.
