M￿-series Cabinet Enclosures

 

Cabinet enclosures are available in three sizes: 43-inch, 67-inch, and 79-inch;

 

see Cabinet Configuration Chart for maximum systems and StorageWorks

 

shelves supported in M-series Cabinet Enclosures.

 

The AlphaServer 800 integrated Remote Management Console (RMC) features

 

significantly enhances the ability to remotely manage and diagnose system

 

conditions. The RMC allows a remote operator to monitor server voltages,

 

temperatures, and fan, as well as manipulate the server (Power On/Off, reset,

 

halt). An auxiliary regulator powers the RMC in the main power system that

 

allows systems to be remotely interrogated even if systems are turned off or shut

 

down. In the event of an alert condition, the RMC can be set up to

 

automatically dial a user definable pager phone or another system to make a

 

remote operator aware of the alert condition.

 

ServerWORKS Manager provides advanced server and network management

 

capabilities and is supplied with all AlphaServer systems. Simple Network

 

Management Protocol (SNMP) enables information to pass from the managed

 

system to the console for DIGITAL UNIX and OpenVMS systems. Using

 

ServerWORKS, the system manager may build and view topological maps of

 

the network. Detailed server information is viewable, including system,

 

network, storage, and environmental information. Alarms may be set against

 

critical system parameters and events. All AlphaServer systems are supplied

 

with management tools to complement ServerWORKS Manager.
