Chapter 1. Technical overview 51 Remote mediaAs a part of the remote control feature, the remote media capability lets youuse diskette drives, diskette images, optical drives such as DVD or CD-ROMdrives, or optical drive images of the system where the Web interface of RSAII is running on the remote PC. With this feature, the drives can be made toappear as local drives.See 6.2, “Remote Supervisor Adapter II” on page 316 for more information aboutthe service processor.1.12.4 Active Energy ManagerIBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager™ (formerly known as IBMPowerExecutive™) is a combination of hardware and software that enables directpower monitoring through IBM Director. By using an OS that supports thisfeature, you can monitor the power consumption of the x3850 M2 and x3950 M2and then modify or cap the consumption if required.The application software enables you to track actual power consumption trendsand corresponding thermal loading of servers running in your environment withyour applications.Active Energy Manager enables customers to monitor actual power draw andthermal loading information. This helps you with: More efficient planning of new datacenter construction or modification Proper power input sizing based on physical systems Justification of incremental hardware purchases based on available inputpower capacity Better utilization of existing resourcesFor more information see: Section 6.4, “Active Energy Manager” on page 334 Extensions: Active Energy Manager at:http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/director/extensions/actengmrg.html1.13 Trusted Platform Module and where usedThe x3850 M2 and x3950 M2 implement the Trusted Platform Module (TPM),which ensures that the process from power-on to hand-off to the operatingsystem boot loader is secure.
