About the Remote Console Feature

The following text and illustration show how HP's Remote Console is connected to the HP Server.
1. At the server – After using the Utility Partition Console Redirection feature to set the server to receive,
the server may be taken over by the remote console.
2. At the Remote Console – Using a modem and pcANYWHERE32, the offsite remote console
workstation may dial into and run diagnostic utilities on the HP Server.
Using the Remote Console feature, you can remotely access a customer's Server Utility Partition to:
· Update the server BIOS.
This feature is particularly useful since it allows you to update a server's BIOS remotely.
· Run HP server DiagTools.
This utility provides you with ways to test a server's hardware components, including system board
function.
· Remotely boot the server and view startup messages.
· Set or reset server keyboard language.
In addition, your HP Server tc3100 includes pcANYWHERE32 communications software (by Symantec Inc.)
to graphically redirect your Windows NT server console to a remote location. For in-depth details, refer to the
"Remote Console Feature" on the Online Documentation CD.
