For multiple monitoring, this window allows you to navigate through the remote servers. Click the All Servers root directory to display all connected and disconnected servers, then click on the server you want to monitor or control. Click before the server connection to display available remote server information including the SDR (Sensor Data Record), FRU (Field Replaceable Unit), SEL (System Event Log), and Remote Console. ASUS ASMB4-iKVM/ASMB4-SOL PLUS 3-3 Some remote server information (such as the SDR) contains several sensor groups such as Temperature, Voltage, and Fan. Click before the remote server information to display the sensor groups. Click before a sensor group to display individual sensors. For example, clicking before the sensor group Temperature displays the CPU1 and system temperatures. Sensor groups Sensors You can also change the server directory display by clicking the buttons on top of the window. For example, clicking the IP button displays the remote server IP address instead of the remote server name (N). Selecting ID displays the remote server ID instead of the server name or IP address. 3-4 Chapter 3: ASUS Remote Console Detail/SEL window The Detail/SEL window displays the detailed SDR and FRU information, and the SEL (System Event Log). The window provides the link for detailed sensor information or system events and allows you to adjust the sensor threshold values. Event window The Event window displays the Platform Event Trap (PET) received by the ARC. The PET information includes the event index, source IP address, enterprise, community, generic and specific traps, and time ticks. The PET information is a system management alert in SNMP Trap format and is used for IPMI alerting. Status bar The Status bar located at the bottom of the ARC window displays the connection status to the remote server, connection duration, IP address of the remote server, and the progress of SDR/SEL/FRU information download.
