Remote Management
The server may be monitored and managed via LAN/WAN by using EXPRESSSCOPE Engine 2 and the NEC
DianaScope utility stored in the EXPRESSBUILDER DVD.
The EXPRESSSCOPE Engine 2 uses the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) as a system management LSI.
The EXPRESSSCOPE Engine 2 provides the following features:
Monitoring of the power supply unit
Monitoring of the temperature, voltage, fans, and electric power status
Generation of SEL (system event log) at occurrence of a hardware failure
Monitoring of the system management watchdog timer
Monitoring of the periodic SMI timer
Remote management using a Web browser (e.g., resetting the server, power on/off, viewing System Event Log
(SEL))
Remote KVM and remote device features (A separately priced remote management license is required.)
Remote management via LAN/WAN by using NEC DianaScope and centralized management of several
systems
For more information about the remote management using the Web browser, remote KVM feature, and remote device
feature, refer to the "EXPRESSSCOPE Engine 2 User's Guide" stored in the EXPRESSBUILDER DVD.
NOTE:
The measured value of temperature, voltage, fan, or electric power may contain an
error depending on the operating environment.
Degradation Feature
The degradation feature automatically isolates a failed DIMM, processor, or cooling fan to assure continuous operation
of the server when it is detected by the POST (Power On Self-Test, self-diagnosis program after power on).
Failed DIMMs, processors, and cooling fan may be identified on the screen that the POST displays, or with the BIOS
setup utility, "SETUP." They may also be identified on a system on which NEC ESMPRO installed.
Remote Power-On Feature (Wake On LAN/PME)
The remote power-on function powers on the server through a network. It sends a special packet from the management
computer to power on a remote server that is powered off.
To enable this feature, you must select "Enabled" for "Wake On LAN/PME" in the Advanced Chipset Control of the
Advanced menu of the BIOS setup utility, "SETUP." (See Chapter 4.)
The remote power-on feature is not available in the following cases. Press the POWER/SLEEP switch once to start the
OS, and turn off the server using an appropriate procedure.
Abnormal previous system shut-down
No power supply to the server (due to turned-off breaker, disconnected power cord, power blackout, etc.)
NOTE:
Wake On LAN feature is supported in 100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T adapter on the
base board and I/O riser board.
AC-LINK Feature
When the power cord of the server is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) unit, the server supports the
2-17
