2.4 When the server is up and running
The IP-KVM switch gives you a full control over the remote server. The Management Console
allows you to access the remote server's graphics, keyboard and mouse and to send special
commands to the server. You can also perform periodic maintenance of the server. Using the
Console Redirection Service, you are able to do the following:
I.
Reboot the system
II.
Watch the boot process.
III. Boot the system from a separate partition to load the diagnostic environment.
IV. Run special diagnostic programs.

Obviously, fixing hardware defects is not possible through a remote management device.
Nevertheless IP-KVM switch gives the administrator valuable information about the type of a
hardware failure. Serious hardware failures can be categorized into five different categories with
different chances to happen:
I.
Hard disk failure 50%
II.
Power cable detached, power supply failure 28%
III. CPU, Controller, main board failure 10%
