Connecting to the PAM Web Site
The server is equipped with an integrated Platform Administration and Maintenance
software package, otherwise known as PAM software.
One part of PAM software is an embedded application (MAESTRO) running on the Platform
Management Board (PMB) and the other is an external application running on the Platform
Administration Processor (PAP) unit under Microsoft Windows 2000 Server.
The PAM user interface is divided into three areas in the browser window: a Status pane, a
PAM Tree pane, and a Control pane, allowing users to check system status at a glance.

The PAM Web–based administration and maintenance tools give you immediate insight into
system status and configuration. You will use PAM software to operate, monitor, and
configure your Bull NovaScale Server.
Local Connection
From the integrated console, check that the KVM switch is set to the PAP unit port and click
the PAM icon to access the PAM Web site. See Toggling the Local / Integrated Console
