board, the PRIMERGY TX120 S2 server can also be maintained and serviced
remotely. This enables remote diagnosis for system analysis, remote configu-
ration and remote restart should the operating system or hardware fail.

16 Operating manual TX120 S2
Features Preface
ServerView Remote Management
ServerView Remote Management is the remote management solution from
Fujitsu Technology Solutions 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.
Remote monitoring and maintenance avoids time-consuming and costly on-site
repairs and reduces service costs. This leads to a reduction in the total cost of
ownership and an excellent return on investment for the remote management
solution.
The administrator can access all system information and information from the
sensors such as fan speeds or voltages via the iRMC S2's Web interface (see
section “iRMC S2 with integrated service LAN port” on page 13). He can also
start the text-based or graphic console bypass (Advanced Video Redirection,
AVR) and get information about remote storage.
