Remote Superv Adapter II EU
The next-generation Remote Supervisor Adapter II adds accelerated graphics and delivers advanced control and monitoring features to manage your IBM eServer xSeries server (select models) at virtually any time, from virtually any place. This half-length, 32-bit PCI adapter enables easy console redirection with text and graphics, keyboard (operating system independent) and mouse (Win32 only) support over the system management LAN connections. With video compression now built into the adapter hardware, it is designed to redirect graphics up to five times faster than its IBM predecessor. It enables display of server activities from power on to full operation remotely, and allows remote user interaction at virtually any time. The embedded Web browser provides remote control from any standard Web browser. No additional software is required on the remote administrator's workstation. System management software is not required on the managed server for remote control. The Remote Supervisor Adapter II provides remote management and control of the system independent of the server status, even if the server is powered off or otherwise disabled.
