Intel ® Server Management - Intel SE7501BR2 - Server Board Motherboard Product Manual

Intel ® Server Management
Intel Server Management (ISM) version 5.5 is a system management package that is included on
the ISM CD. ISM applications interact with the integrated hardware system management features
of the server to allow you to monitor and manage a server. Version 5.5 provides integrated in-band
(operating system up) and out-of-band (operating system down) remote management, event alerting
and logging, including e-mail notification, and proactive fault management. Some of the features
provided are:
The ability to connect to the server from a Windows
over a modem, or over a direct serial connection to the server, permitting you to manage the
server from a remote location.
Real-time monitoring and alerting for server hardware sensors.
Emergency management when the server is off (but still connected to AC power) lets you
verify the state of the server, diagnose hardware problems, and power on/off or reset the server.
The ability to run the Client System Setup Utility to change the configuration of the managed
server.
ISM can use an optional service partition on the managed server. The service partition is a special
disk partition on the system drive that contains a ROM-DOS
utilities, including the System Setup Utility, FRU/SDR Load Utility, and other diagnostics
packages you might choose to install. The server can be booted to the service partition, either
locally or remotely, to provide access to the utilities.
The service partition must be installed before the operating system is installed. Instructions for
creating a service partition are available on the Quick Start Users guide.

Intel Server Management Installation and User's Guide on the ISM CD.
