Reset Remote Serial Console Remote KVM & CD Terminate KVM Session Identify Server Failover CAUTION: A "Forced" Power Off could result in a loss of data and/ or damage to the server. It is highly recommended to use the "Graceful" option under normal circumstances. Allows the user to remotely reset the selected server. This action has the same effect as pressing the front panel reset button. CAUTION: This may cause data loss on the server. Use the Graceful Shutdown to shut down applications and the operating system. Opens a new window that includes instructions on how to connect to the server's remote serial port using a secure shell (SSH) client application. The serial port, if enabled in BIOS enables you to view server startup messages, enter the BIOS Setup (use +2 key sequence), view OS initialization messages and interact with an application or OS that makes use of the serial port. Opens a new window, allowing an IT administrator to use remote keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) and media to monitor and manage the selected server remotely. The KVM functionality allows you to view server startup messages, enter the BIOS setup, and interact with the server operating system. The remote CD capability allows you to share a CD drive or CD image on your client machine with the remote server. Sends a message to the KVM session user and terminates the KVM session. Illuminates the server ID LED, which enables easy onsite identification of a selected server. Rapidly reassigns all virtual drives from the currently assigned server slot to another server slot. As an example, this may be required when a server encounters hardware problems. Note: All drive positions are preserved during this operation. Global Action Menu Item Description Power On/Off Multiple Servers Enables an IT administrator to power on or off multiple servers at once. Select the type of action first (power on, power off, reset). Then select the servers to apply the action. CAUTION: To avoid potential data loss when selecting power off the Graceful Shutdown option is recommended to shut down applications and the operating system.
