System Control Facility
The System Control Facility board monitors or controls the PRIMEPOWER2000.
l One System Control Facility board is installed in both the Base cabinet and System
Expansion cabinet, respectively.
l System Control Facility board provides a LAN port for connection to the SMC. This is a
private LAN.
l The LAN can only be used to connect to the SMC and the Console Connection Unit.
l PRIMEPOWER1000/800 systems allow the installation of the redundant hot swappable
components (System Console Facility board option). Two System Control Facility boards
on each Base cabinet and System Expansion cabinet (PRIMEPOWER1000) can be installed
so that the system does not need to be powered off for replacement.
