See the User's Guide for more information about the remote console interfaces.

BIOS

The BIOS is bootstrapping software that initializes and configures the hardware (processors, memory, I/O, and so on) in the partition. Running in the partition, the BIOS provides many configuration, setup, diagnostic, and recovery functions.

In Express5800/A1160 systems, the BIOS is stored in the firmware hub in each cell.

Server Management Software

Server Management software enables a centralized operations environment for your systems. This software provides world-class data center management capabilities for greater business continuance and system resiliency. It can dramatically enhance the manageability, availability, and performance of your systems while considerably reducing total cost of operations.

Server Management software simplifies system management, automates corrective and preventive measures to avoid system failure, and increases the reliability, scalability, and performance of NEC systems.

Hardware Components

Server Management software manages and monitors Express5800/A1160 systems. You can also use this software to monitor other Express5800 systems in your environment.

Server Management software can be installed on the following hardware components:

yManagement server ̶ You can configure one or more management servers in your environment to manage your new and existing Express5800 systems. A management server with Server Management software is necessary in order for your systems to report problems to the support center using Remote Monitoring service requests.

yServers - You can install the Server Management software on Express5800/A1160 servers.

yClient workstations ̶ You can configure one or more client workstations to provide remote access to your management server.

Figure 4-3 shows the hardware components that run Server Management software.
