Acer Advance Server Management (ASMe)

Acer Advance Server Management (ASMe) is a system management package that is included on the ASMe CD. ASMe applications interact with the integrated hardware system management features of the server to allow you to monitor and manage a server from a remote workstation:

•Remote connection from a Windows-based client workstation over a LAN, or over a modem or direct serial connection to the emergency management port on the server.

•Real-time monitoring and alerting for server hardware sensors.

•Emergency management when the server is off (but still connected to AC power) lets you verify the state of the server, diagnose hardware problems, and power on/off or reset the server.

•Run the System Setup Utility to change the server configuration.

ASMe can use an optional service partition on the server that you are managing. The service partition is a special disk partition on the system drive that contains a ROM-DOS operating system and DOS-based utilities, including the System Setup Utility, FRU/SDR Load Utility, and Remote Diagnostics. The server can be booted to the service partition, either locally or remotely, to provide access to the utilities.
