There's an option listed in the
BOOT section for the Watchdog and the Watchdog Timeout. Looks like by default it's set to 5 minutes, so if the server hasn't come up and kicked the dog, it reboots into it's "Failover" mode.
Under WSS2003, at least on the Iomega NAS 400r units I have, the system partition is mirrored across all four drives, and if the watchdog sees that it doesn't finish booting, it reboots the server and attempts to boot from another drive.

It seems to use standard linux drivers for almost everything, and like I stated earlier, there's nothing fancy in the HP-built box, just low-end, server-grade hardware.
