NEC EXPRESSBUILDER System Installation Software
NEC Express5800/120Rf-2 systems come with NEC EXPRESSBUIDER set-up and configuration
software that provides a logical and comprehensive process for your server installation.
Degradation Feature
The degradation feature automatically isolates a failed DIMM or processor to assure continuous
operation of the server when the POST (Power on Self-Test, self-diagnosis program after power on)
detects such a DIMM or processor.
Remote Power-On Feature (Wake On LAN)
NEC Express5800/120Rf-2’s system board supports Wake-on-LAN. The remote power-on function
turns on the server through a network. It sends a special packet from the management computer to a
remote server to turn it on if the server is off-powered.
System Security and Front Bezel Removing
To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system, the system includes a full lockable front
bezel and Server Management software that monitors the front bezel intrusion switch.
Security with mechanical locks and monitoring:
The front bezel contains a mechanical lock and an intrusion switch to
prevent access to the computer chassis. When the cover is opened, the
switch transmits an alarm signal to the system board, where server
management software processes the signal.
Software Locks via the system set up utility
The BIOS set up utility provides a number of security features to prevent
unauthorized or accidental access to the system. Once the security measures are
enabled, access to the system is allowed only after the user enters the correct
password(s). For example:
- Enable the keyboard lockout timer so that the server requires a password to reactivate
the keyboard and mouse after a specified time-out period (1 to 120 min)
- Set and enable an administrative password
- Set and enable a user password
- Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent use of the front
panel reset and power switches
- Disable writing to the diskette drive when secure mode is set.
