Remote Diagnostic Management; Installing The Rdm Module - Acer 12000 User Manual

Remote Diagnostic Management

Remote Diagnostic Management (RDM) is a network management
tool that utilizes modems and telephone lines to control a host of
servers from a remote station. It monitors and analyzes the server
condition, updates the BIOS settings if necessary, or reboots the
server in the event of failure and quickly returns it to normal operation.
This capability to execute the RDM program from a remote site
bridges the distance barrier in fixing server problems and reduces
wasted time due to system failure.
