Management Features

The server provides various features to secure the high reliability.
System failure can be prevented or recovered in a short period of time by the linkage between features
provided by the hardware itself such as redundancy of each resource as well as RAID system and monitoring
features provided by software such as NEC ESMPRO attached to the server.
Reliability can be further improved by using various optional products such as uninterruptible power supply unit
used for preventing the server from power failure and backup device to prevent unexpected data loss.
These features are realized by hardware and software shown below.

4.3.1 Server Management
System monitoring chip is installed as standard on the system board of the server. This system monitoring chip
monitors the following resources embedded in the server. These hardware features and software for the server
management such as NEC ESMPRO Manager/NEC ESMPRO Agent link each other to monitor the server
operation status, etc. In case of failure, these features report the failure to the administrator immediately.
The table on the next page shows the availability of features on the server.
Remote operation and maintenance can be performed from the management PC when the operating system is
not running. The server can be powered on by the remote power-on feature.
