REMOTE MANAGEMENT FEATURE
The server uses a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) which is the system management LSI, to monitor the
internal hardware status including system temperature, voltage, and electric power. It also generates a System Event
Log (SEL) at the occurrence of a hardware failure, and notifies it. When a management LAN is connected with the
network, the server may be managed from the remote console via the BMC by using Web browser or Telnet/SSH client.
If an optional Remote Management Enhanced License is installed, the remote device feature becomes available. With
the remote device feature, the remote console can use the KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) of the server. The server
can access the optical disc drive, floppy disk drive, ISO image, and USB memory device of the remote site.
For more information about remote management using a Web browser and a remote device feature, refer to the
"EXPRESSSCOPE Engine 2 User's Guide" stored in the EXPRESSBUILDER DVD.
NOTE:
The measured value of temperature, voltage, fan, or electric power may be
influenced by the operating environment.
Changing the Management LAN Settings
The management LAN uses the management LAN port in ordinary case.
To share the LAN port #3 with the management LAN, run SETUP and select [Server] - [BMC LAN Configuration] -
[Shared BMC LAN] - [Enabled]. When set to [Enabled], the management LAN port is disabled.
IMPORTANT:
When the management LAN port is used as a management LAN, the link speed is fixed
to 100Mbps. When the LAN port 3 is used as a management LAN, the link speed is
10Mbps in standby state, or 100Mbps in power-on state. (Up to 1.0Gbps is available for
the shared standard LAN.) Accordingly, if the LAN cross cable is used for connection,
the LAN cable seems to be disconnected when the link speed is switched. Do not use
the LAN cross cable for connection.
When the LAN port 3 is used as a management LAN, the network performance may be
reduced because the data of both LANs must be transmitted or received.
