Shared Peripherals & System Administration

3.0Peripheral Sharing

• Shared Peripheral Clusters

The Peripheral Device Layer organizes an array of the most popular USB devices (CDW, floppy, PCMCIA) and an external hub into four switchable clusters that can be individually and dynamically switched to any SCM.

3.1Peripheral Cluster

• Maximum Flexibility

Each SCM has two independent internal USB busses that are assignable to any of the four peripheral clusters.

Peripheral assignments can be made locally using the front panel or remotely via the SysAdmin network facility.

3.2 Remote SysAdmin

• Web Based SysAdmin

An embedded multiprocessor monitors system health and watch-dog activity.

An HTML web page provides network capability for remote monitoring and system administration.

The ability to independently control power, reboot, monitor environmental performance, execute failover strategies, and administer system functions across the network allows the system to be located in “lights out” inaccessible locations.
