See Chapter 5 for information on ECU. 3-18 AcerAltos 19000Pro4 System Guide 3. 1. 7 Installing and Removing the Thermal Air Guide On the right side of the housing, a metal thermal air guide directs the hot air from the disk drives to the fan exhausts on the rear of the housing. The air guide helps in maintaining good air circulation within the housing. You have to remove the thermal air guide to access the right backplane board or the power backplane connectors. To avoid electric shock and damage to the system, DO NOT perform the following procedure while the system is ON. Removing the Thermal Air Guide Follow these steps to remove the metal thermal air guide. [. . . ] This feature is designed primarily for server supervisors and management information system (MIS) personnel to help them detect errors or potential trouble spots in their network servers through a single management station. The ASM Pro consists of two major parts: · · ASM-Station - a Windows-based monitoring station that communicates with the ASM-Agents. ASM-Agent(s) - the individual servers managed by the ASM-Station. Refer to the ASM Pro user's manual for more information. Diagnostics and Utilities 5-1 5. 2 Remote Diagnostic Management The Remote Diagnostic Management (RDM) is a network management tool that utilizes modems and telephone lines to control a host of servers from a remote station. It monitors and analyzes the server condition, updates the BIOS settings if necessary, or reboots the server in the event of failure and quickly return it to normal operation. [. . . ]
