Compaq Remote Insight Board Info.

[Bogdan R.]

Can some one who perhaps has this board tell me what kind of information this boad can provide me with. I am thinking about installing one into my Proliant 5500. Does it provide info about temperature, array status and things of that nature?

Thank you,

- Bogdan

Bogdan,
Temperature, array status and many other things you will have also without Remote Insight Board.

With Remote Insight Board you will be able to access server console even when server doesn't have any OS installed or when server network connection failed.
