Yes, Mauro has already pointed this out. As I replied to him, we do
have a separate series of platforms that do not have built-in RAS, and
report all errors. ÂSuch customers can simply choose them. They do not
need to pay for built-in RAS.

The model w/ built-in RAS provides warranty & full support. As I said,
it's a different model.
