System InterfacesFront Control Panel and LEDs display status and give power control (chassis ID, on/off/reboot). NMI Reset Button not supported (it does nothing).

BMC Web-based interface on server platforms allows for hardware monitoring, email alerts, and remote management. Email alerts require configuration & connection to a mail (SMTP) server. Java Runtime Environment 6 (or later) required for remote desktop.

The Web-based Fan Base Service Page lets customers set fans in a “Safe to Service” mode for replacing fan modules (otherwise emergency shut-down starts after 10 seconds).

MegaRAID Storage Manager monitors capacity drives and RAID processes (mirrors, rebuilds, etc.). The command-line interface CLI Zoning tool (not shown) also has options to view & change drive power status.
