Remote Power-On (Wake ON LAN) Function

The remote power-on function turns on the system power by way of a network or
modem. If the system power is set to OFF, it can be turned on remotely by sending a
specific packet from the main computer to the remote system. This feature can be
enabled or disabled using the BIOS Setup Utility. See Chapter 3.
Note: This feature must be supported by your operating system.

Degradation Feature

The degradation feature automatically isolates a failed DIMM, processor, or cooling fan
to assure continuous operation of the server. The failed DIMM, processor, or cooling
fan is detected and isolated during POST (Power On Self-Test, self-diagnosis program
after power on). POST runs automatically during system startup.
Failed DIMMs, processors, and cooling fan may be identified by a POST error code
display, or by viewing NEC ESMPRO error messages.

System Security

Security with Mechanical Locks and Monitoring

To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system, the system includes a fully
lockable side panel.

Software Locks via the System Setup Utility

The BIOS Setup Utility provides a number of security features to prevent unauthorized
or accidental access to the system. Once the security measures are enabled, access to the
system is allowed only after the user enters the correct password(s). For example:
!
Enable the keyboard lockout timer so that the server requires a password to
reactivate the keyboard and mouse after a specified time-out period 2 to
120minutes.
!
Set and enable an administrative password.
!
Set and enable a user password
!
Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent use of the
front panel reset and power switches.
!
Activate a hot-key combination to enter secure mode quickly.
!
Disable writing to the diskette drive when secure mode is set.
