ASR means Automatic Server Recovery.

There's ASR hardware on the system board. The ASR OS agent triggers this hardware which starts to count down. After some time the ASR agent resets the counter before it reaches zero. If the OS crashes then the ASR agent is no longer running, the counter reaches zero and the ASR hardware restarts the server.

So usually ASR resets happen after OS hangs or blue screens. But there can also be faulty ASR hardware (I've seen that once happen with a HP NetServer LH).

Check the integrated management log (via integrated management log viewer application or Insight Manager); there should be more info.

You can disable ASR in system setup.
