Service and support

PRIMERGY servers are service-friendly and modular, thus enabling quick and
simple maintenance. The two redundant hot-pluggable management blades of
the system unit, with independent LAN and COM ports for management, enable
comprehensive remote administration of the server blade. Together, they allow
remote diagnosis for system analysis, remote configuration and remote restart,
even in the case of operating system failure or hardware errors.
