M-series Cabinet Enclosures
Cabinet enclosures are available in three sizes: 43-inch, 67-inch, and 79-inch;


see Cabinet Configuration Chart for maximum systems and StorageWorks
shelves supported in M-series Cabinet Enclosures.
The AlphaServer 800 integrated Remote Management Console (RMC) features
significantly enhances the ability to remotely manage and diagnose system
conditions. The RMC allows a remote operator to monitor server voltages,
temperatures, and fan, as well as manipulate the server (Power On/Off, reset,
halt). An auxiliary regulator powers the RMC in the main power system that
allows systems to be remotely interrogated even if systems are turned off or shut
down. In the event of an alert condition, the RMC can be set up to
automatically dial a user definable pager phone or another system to make a
remote operator aware of the alert condition.
ServerWORKS Manager provides advanced server and network management
capabilities and is supplied with all AlphaServer systems. Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) enables information to pass from the managed
system to the console for DIGITAL UNIX and OpenVMS systems. Using
ServerWORKS, the system manager may build and view topological maps of
the network. Detailed server information is viewable, including system,
network, storage, and environmental information. Alarms may be set against
critical system parameters and events. All AlphaServer systems are supplied
with management tools to complement ServerWORKS Manager.
