Intel Server Management (ISM) Installation and User's Guide
Client SSU (CSSU) Details
The SDR Manager displays with a navigation (tree view) pane, a presentation pane, and a description pane.
Selecting a specific Sensor Data Record from the tree view displays the corresponding SDR information in
the presentation pane.
FRU Manager
Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) are components installed in your managed server. FRU information stored
on the server includes a component description, manufacturer, model, part number, component number,
serial number, and revision level. The DPC FRU Manager lets you:
• View FRU inventory
• View the properties for a FRU
• Save FRU inventory information to a file
The FRU Manager displays a hierarchical tree of FRU areas (chassis, product, and board), and detailed
inventory information about a selected area. Select an area in the tree to see its associated inventory
information in the presentation pane on the right. A description of each field you select is displayed in the
right bottom pane.
RSA Manager
The Remote Sensor Access (RSA) Manager lets you view server baseboard FRU and SDR information.
The RSA Manager displays a tree view on the left and a property view on the right. The tree view displays
all detected sensors. The property view displays tabs of sensor status or sensor information for the sensor
selected in the tree view.
If the connected server is powered down, some sensors cannot be read and their current status will display
as Unknown.
Console Redirection Window
The console redirection window displays the server boot process when the CSSU connection to the server is
by modem or by LAN. This window cannot accept user input. Its purpose is to help users get more
information during a server reboot to the service partition.
Phonebook
DPC includes a phonebook (shared with CSSU) that stores server entries, including the name and server
LAN address (specified either as an IP address or DNS name). You can add, modify, or delete phonebook
entries.
Rebooting to the Service Partition
You can use DPC to reboot the server to its service partition.
The service partition is a special partition on the hard disk that you establish when initially setting up the
server. (Refer to the HP Carrier Grade Server cc3310 Product Guide and “Appendix A” of this manual, for
additional information.) The service partition contains utilities, diagnostics, and other software required for
remote management. The service partition is not marked as an active partition and the server only boots
from it by a special request. It is not normally visible to the server user.
After the server reboots to the service partition, you can run text-based programs installed on the service
partition remotely from the management station. You can also upload and download files from/to the
managed server, and run DOS commands to manage the files and directories on the service partition.
