ASUS System Web-based Management Enterprise Chapter 1 Getting Started This chapter provides an overview of ASWM Enterprise, and how to install or uninstall it under Windows ® .
1-2 Chapter 1: Getting started 1.1 Introduction to ASWM Enterprise Welcome! Thank for buying our server products bundled with ASWM Enterprise System Web-based Management software. The ASWM Enterprise is a proprietary server management solution that gives a vital distinction to our servers. In server management, system stability is a major factor , with efîciency , cost- effectiveness, and convenience following close behind. T o comply with this, we have created a reliable and user-friendly ASWM Enterprise monitoring tool. The ASWM Enterprise is a web-based interface that allows system administrators to conveniently manage computers either locally (from the same server), or remotely (using a web-browser). With its colorful, graphical, and informative interface, the ASWM Enterprise makes server management a delightful experience! 1.1.1 How ASWM Enterprise works The ASWM Enterprise is composed of an âagentâ that generally acts as a data collector , and a set of HTTP web pages that serve as the user interface (UI). The data collected by the agent, which are essential for the continuous monitoring operations performed by ASWM Enterprise, are displayed in the UI. In the monitoring process, the agent basically keeps track of the hardware and software status of the system. The agent has âsensorsâ that monitor fan rotation speeds (in RPM), working voltages, motherboard and CPU temperatures, and the backplane (if present). In addition, the agent also monitors hard disk drives health status through the SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting T echnology) feature, space utilization of a île system, CPU or system memory loading, and even the trafîc status of a network device. The agent records the history of the detected status of all monitored hardware items. The status record includes the time of alert events (fan, voltage, or temperature), and the type of alert event (critical, warning, or normal). Y ou can also conîgure ASWM Enterprise to react to exceptional situations. For example, the administrator can be automatically notiîed by e-mail when a hard drive starts to malfunction or when a chassis intrusion is detected. In this way , ASWM Enterprise acts as an active guardian of the systemâs key components.

ASUS System Web-based Management Enterprise Chapter 1 Getting Started This chapter provides an overview of ASWM Enterprise, and how to install or uninstall it under Windows ® .
1-2 Chapter 1: Getting started 1.1 Introduction to ASWM Enterprise Welcome! Thank for buying our server products bundled with ASWM Enterprise System Web-based Management software. The ASWM Enterprise is a proprietary server management solution that gives a vital distinction to our servers. In server management, system stability is a major factor , with efîciency , cost- effectiveness, and convenience following close behind. T o comply with this, we have created a reliable and user-friendly ASWM Enterprise monitoring tool. The ASWM Enterprise is a web-based interface that allows system administrators to conveniently manage computers either locally (from the same server), or remotely (using a web-browser). With its colorful, graphical, and informative interface, the ASWM Enterprise makes server management a delightful experience! 1.1.1 How ASWM Enterprise works The ASWM Enterprise is composed of an âagentâ that generally acts as a data collector , and a set of HTTP web pages that serve as the user interface (UI). The data collected by the agent, which are essential for the continuous monitoring operations performed by ASWM Enterprise, are displayed in the UI. In the monitoring process, the agent basically keeps track of the hardware and software status of the system. The agent has âsensorsâ that monitor fan rotation speeds (in RPM), working voltages, motherboard and CPU temperatures, and the backplane (if present). In addition, the agent also monitors hard disk drives health status through the SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting T echnology) feature, space utilization of a île system, CPU or system memory loading, and even the trafîc status of a network device. The agent records the history of the detected status of all monitored hardware items. The status record includes the time of alert events (fan, voltage, or temperature), and the type of alert event (critical, warning, or normal). Y ou can also conîgure ASWM Enterprise to react to exceptional situations. For example, the administrator can be automatically notiîed by e-mail when a hard drive starts to malfunction or when a chassis intrusion is detected. In this way , ASWM Enterprise acts as an active guardian of the systemâs key components.
