TIPS:

How to install MWA is described in online documents. See “MWA Installation

Guide” for details.

IMPORTANT:

If you set up NEC MWA using Console Redirection (via WAN or direct),

select [System Hardware]

→ [Console Redirection] → [Serial Port Address] and set

[Onboard COM B] on the BIOS setup utility. For details, see Chapter 4 “SYSTEM BIOS ~

Servers to be remotely managed by MWA

The server with RomPilot or BMC can be managed by MWA.

This product has both RomPilot and BMC (IPMI1.0).

PRECAUTIONS:

“MWA First Step Guide” is common to all the managed servers. The followings are notes and

restrictions for this product.

The Console Redirection feature with WAN or direct connection cannot be used when the
server is operated remotely from the other management PC by using the RomPilot feature
via LAN. To use Console Redirection with WAN or direct connection, set “RomPilot
Support” in “Advanced” menu of BIOS setup utility to “Disabled”. See Chapter 4
“SYSTEM BIOS ~SETUP~” for details.

ESCD information is not collected by MWA. If you attempt to collect it from MWA,
“ESCD data read error server report: Plug and Play call error” is generated.

NO MWA Agent is available on this product.
