Maintenance Tools with Remote Console
This subsection describes the procedures for using the Maintenance Tools with a remote console.
The Maintenance Tools contains a remote console feature that allows the system administrator to set up the server from
the management workstation (management PC) via the network or the server's COM2 (serial) port.
IMPORTANT:
 Do not use this feature on any other computer than the server, or on any other server
obtained without the EXPRESSBUILDER. Doing so may cause a failure of the server.
 Select "Maintenance Tools (Redirection mode)" for the remote console in the "Boot
Selection" menu. Even if the rest is selected, it is not displayed in the management PC.
Starting
The following two methods are available to start the server.
 Running Maintenance Tools from the management PC via LAN
 Running Maintenance Tools from the management PC via direct connection (COM2)
For the procedure to start the Maintenance Tools with the Remote Console, see "NEC DianaScope".
IMPORTANT:
 Do not change the boot device order in the BOOT menu in the BIOS SETUP. The
EXPRESSBUILDER cannot be used if the Optical Disc Drive is not the first device in
the boot order.
 Use the standard LAN port for LAN connection.
 Use the serial port B for direct connection.
 To use this feature, you need to create a configuration file (3.5-inch floppy disk) that
includes communication method between the server and the management PC, and
various setup parameters. Use NEC DianaScope or run the "System Management" menu
from the EXPRESSBUILDER to create a configuration file. Save the configuration file
into the root directory of the floppy disk as the following file name.
– File name: CSL_LESS.cfg
 If you exit the BIOS SETUP using an unusual way (e.g., forced power-off or reset), the
redirection process may fail. In such a case, setup again using the configuration file.
NOTE: The following items of BIOS setup information will be set as shown below.
 LAN Controller: [Enabled]
