When the Server is up and running
The B050-000 gives you full control over the remote server. The Management Console
allows you to access the remote server’s graphics, keyboard and mouse and to send
special commands to the server.
You can also perform periodic maintenance of the server. Using the Console Redirec-
tion Service you can do the following:
• Reboot the system (a graceful shutdown)
• Watch the boot process
• Boot the system from a separate partition to load the diagnostic environment
• Run special diagnostic programs
When the Server is dead
Obviously, fixing hardware defects is not possible using a remote management de-
vice. Nevertheless, the B050-000 gives the administrator valuable information about
the type of a hardware failure.
Serious hardware failures can be categorized into five different categories with dif-
ferent chances to happen
