section "Configuring the server" on page 59).
Service and support
PRIMERGY servers are easy to maintain and modular, thus enabling quick and
simple maintenance.
The handles and locks (touch point) used to exchange components are colored
green to ensure simple and immediate recognition.
In order to prevent the components from being damaged by incorrect handling
when they are being installed and removed, the areas of all components that
can be touched without damaging them are also marked green.
The Flash EPROM program supplied with the Fujitsu utilities supports a fast
BIOS update.
ServerView Remote Management
ServerView Remote Management is the remote management solution from
Fujitsu for PRIMERGY servers. ServerView Remote Management and the
relevant hardware components integrated on the system board allow remote
monitoring and maintenance as well as fast restoration of operation in the event
of errors.
