HP Netserver E 45/E 50 Remote Administrator Guide

Chapter 1 What is Remote Administration?

Figure 1-1. HP Remote Console Setup

Using Remote Console, you can remotely access a customer's NetServer Utility

Partition to:

• Update the system BIOS. This feature is particularly useful since it allows

you to update a NetServer's BIOS remotely.

• Run HPVGSet Utility to configure and test HP 10Base-T adapters

(J2973A or J2970A).

• Run the SCSI Configuration Utility. This utility allows you to configure

the server's SCSI host adapter settings, format a disk, or verify disk

media.

• Run the Diagnostic Assistant. This utility provides you with ways to test a

NetServer's hardware components, including main circuit board function.

• Remotely boot the server and view startup messages.

• Set or reset system date, time, and keyboard language.
