IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine interface cards/adapter

This option adds accelerated graphics and delivers advanced control and monitoring features to manage IBM eServer xSeries servers (select models) at virtually any time, from virtually any place. This daughter card can be added to the server through a connector that connects to the planar or through a riser for select models. It enables easy console redirection with text and graphics, keyboard and mouse (operating system must support USB) support over the system management LAN connections. With video compression now built into the adapter hardware, it is designed to allow the greater screen sizes and refresh rates that are becoming standard in the marketplace. This feature allows the user to display server activities from power-on to full operation, remotely with remote user interaction at virtually any time. The embedded Web server provides remote control from any standard Web browser. No additional software is required on the remote administrator's workstation. For those users who are accustomed to a command line interface, the administrator can also use the provided CLI from a Telnet session to perform some of the functions that they can perform from the Web server. This option provides remote management and control of the system independent of the server status, in many cases even if the server is powered off or otherwise disabled.
