Gateway 7210 User Manual

System administration and control          

The server has three server-management tools included to enable 
administration and control of Windows NT environments. These tools are 
Intel

®

 Server Control (ISC), ManageX Event Manager, and the Direct Platform 

Control (DPC) Console.

Using a graphical user interface, ISC can locally or remotely provide real-time 
monitoring and alerting for server hardware sensors. ISC monitors and records 
system status indicators such as temperature, voltage, cooling, chassis 
intrusion, processor status, cooling fan status, and power supply status. You 
can establish a threshold or range of accepted values for each of these 
indicators and you can configure ISC to respond to variances in a number of 
ways, from an entry in the event log, to a displayed message or audio alarm, 
or even a complete server shutdown.

ISC also provides a system hardware inventory, SCSI controller status, LAN 
adapter status, and BIOS and system slot information.

You can find additional information about Intel Server Control under 

 on the 7210 Companion CD which came with the system.

ManageX lets the system administrator manage multiple systems on a 
Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Novell Netware network from a single 
window, and implement commands and policies across the network with a 
single action. With this tool you can automate system management tasks, 
which can be triggered by specific events or at specified thresholds.

You can find additional information about the ManageX Event Manager 
under 

 on the 7210 Companion CD which came with the system.
