5 1 Introduction The ServerView System Monitor is a component of the ServerView Suite. ServerView System Monitor allows you to monitor and check the following server information locally on your server: Environment information, including fan and temperature sensor information, see "Environment subsystem" on page 31. Power supply information, see "Power Supply subsystem" on page 34. Mass storage information. This information is only available if ServerView RAID Manager is installed on the system, see "Mass Storage subsystem" on page 39. System board information, see "System Board subsystem" on page 45. Network information, see "Network subsystem" on page 52. Driver monitor information, see "Driver Monitor subsystem" on page 53. Update status information, see "Updates menu" on page 54. The ServerView System Monitor is available on Windows and Linux operating systems once you have installed the ServerView agents.for further information on the installation, see the "ServerView Agents for Windows" / "ServerView Agents for Linux" installation and user guides. Additionally you can start ServerView System Monitor remote on any standard PC with intranet or Internet access and a Web browser. Enter the following Web adress via a suitable Web browser: Target groups and purpose of this manual This manual is intended for system administrators, network administrators and service technicians who already have a basic knowledge of hardware and software.
