Remote media
As a part of the remote control feature, the remote media capability lets you
use diskette drives, diskette images, optical drives such as DVD or CD-ROM
drives, or optical drive images of the system where the Web interface of RSA
II is running on the remote PC. With this feature, the drives can be made to
appear as local drives.

1.12.4 Active Energy Manager
IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager™ (formerly known as IBM
PowerExecutive™) is a combination of hardware and software that enables direct
power monitoring through IBM Director. By using an OS that supports this
feature, you can monitor the power consumption of the x3850 M2 and x3950 M2
and then modify or cap the consumption if required.
The application software enables you to track actual power consumption trends
and corresponding thermal loading of servers running in your environment with
your applications.
Active Energy Manager enables customers to monitor actual power draw and
thermal loading information. This helps you with:
More efficient planning of new datacenter construction or modification
Proper power input sizing based on physical systems
Justification of incremental hardware purchases based on available input
power capacity
Better utilization of existing resources
