• Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter
The Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter allows you to
communicate with your Netfinity server using Netfinity Director. It can be used
to configure and monitor many of your system's features. With the Netfinity
Advanced System Management life cycle tool of Netfinity Director, you can
configure events such as POST, loader, and O/S time-outs, critical
temperature, voltage and tamper alerts, and redundant power supply failures.
This service also enables you to connect to other management processors for
remote diagnosis and control. See 2.6, “Advanced System Management” on
page 41 for details.
