EXPRESSSCOPE Engine 3

EXPRESSSCOPE Engine 3 enables various features by using Baseboard Management Controller (BMC),
which is the system management LSI.
EXPRESSSCOPE Engine 3 monitors statuses inside the server such as that of power supplies, cooling fans,
temperature, and voltage. Connecting the management LAN port (see Chapter 1, "4.3 Rear View" in User's
Guide) to your network enables you to do the following from a remote site through a web browser and SSH
client;

Managing the server

Operating keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) from a remote console (*)

Accessing a CD-ROM, DVD ROM, floppy disk, ISO image, or USB flash drive in a remote console (*)
* To actualize these features, virtual USB mass storage (Remote FD, Remote CD/DVD, Remote USB Memory,
or Virtual Flash) is always connected as USB mass storage.
To reset BMC, use the Off-line Tool of the server.
Tips
See Chapter 3 (2. BMC Configuration) for details.
Note EXPRESSSCOPE Engine 3 is mounted in both CPU/IO modules 0 and 1 of the server; the
respective settings need to be set for both modules. In addition, set different IP addresses
for CPU/IO modules 0 and 1.
