  • Page 19: Notational Conventions

    Notational conventions Service and support PRIMERGY servers are service-friendly and modular, thus enabling quick and simple maintenance. The two redundant hot-pluggable management blades of the BX600 S3 basic unit, with independent LAN and COM ports for management, enable comprehensive remote administration of the server blade. Together, they enable remote diagnosis for system analyses, remote configu- ration and remote restarts, even in the case of operating system failure or hardware errors.
