* PCI-Express and PCI-X specifications described in this table list the physical requirements for PCI cards. Ad-
ditional support capabilities (such as device drivers) must also be provided for a PCI card to function in the
server. Refer to the specifications and documentation for a given PCI card to determine if the required drivers
are provided that enable the card to function in this server.

Remote Manageability With ALOM CMT

The Advanced Lights Out Manager (ALOM) CMT feature is a system controller (SC)
that enables you to remotely manage and administer the server.
The ALOM CMT software is preinstalled as firmware, and it initializes as soon as
you apply power to the system. You can customize ALOM CMT to work with your
particular installation.
ALOM CMT enables you to monitor and control your server over a network, or by
using a dedicated serial port for connection to a terminal or terminal server. ALOM
CMT provides a command-line interface for remotely administering geographically
distributed or physically inaccessible machines. In addition, ALOM CMT enables
you to run diagnostics (such as POST) remotely that would otherwise require
physical proximity to the server's serial port.
You can configure ALOM CMT to send email alerts of hardware failures, hardware
warnings, and other events related to the server or to ALOM CMT. The ALOM CMT
circuitry runs independently of the server, using the server's standby power.
Therefore, ALOM CMT firmware and software continue to function when the server
operating system goes offline or when the server is powered off. ALOM CMT
monitors the following server components:
CPU temperature conditions
■
Hard drive status
■
Enclosure thermal conditions
■
Fan speed and status
■
Power supply status
■
Voltage levels
■
Faults detected by POST (power-on self-test)
■
Solaris Predictive Self-Healing (PSH) diagnostic facilities
