Using The Intel Server Management And Intel Smart Tool (Optional) - Intel SE7501HG2 Product Manual

Using the Intel Server Management and Intel
Tool (Optional)
Intel Server Management and the hard drive Service Partition provide real-time monitoring and
alerting for your SE7501HG2 server hardware, emergency remote management, and remote server
setup. Intel Server Management is implemented by installing it within client-server architecture.
The Service Partition provides you with the ability to remotely access a local partition on the server
and to identify and diagnose server health issues. Remote access is provided through either a
modem or network connection.
To get started with Intel Server Management, install the Service Partition first. See "Installing a
Service Partition (optional)" on page 105. After the service partition is installed, install operating
system, and then Intel Server Management and the Intel SmaRT Tool. The information here
describes installation on a system running a Microsoft Windows operating system.
The Intel Server Maintenance and Reference Training (SMaRT) Tool is an interactive software tool
providing support information to assist with the maintenance and repair of Intel-based server
systems and accessories. SMaRT Tool features visual, step-by-step instructions for replacing parts;
a complete Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) database containing part numbers and images; product
spares lists, and worldwide Intel support information.
Intel Server Management provides an interface to the Intel
detection and alerting with interactive maintenance and repair assistance. When Intel Server
Management detects a hardware error and a part needs replacing, SMaRT Tool can be launched
directly from Intel Server Management to locate the correct part information and corresponding
"How to Replace" steps required to quickly get the server back up and running.
To activate Intel Server Management's interface with the Intel SMaRT Tool, both software
programs need to be installed. You can install the software on a server or on a workstation used to
manage the server. The information here describes installation on a system running a Microsoft
Windows operating system. For other operating systems, see the Installation Guide & User Guide
located in the ISM/DOCS folder on the Intel Server Management CD-ROM. SMaRT Tool and ISM
Console may only be installed on a system running a Microsoft Windows operating system.
NOTE
Prior to installation, uninstall any previous version of Intel Server Management.
