• Cooling fan status
• Chassis intrusion
• ECC memory
• Processor status
• Power supply status
Launching Platform Instrumentation Control as a Stand-alone Application
To launch Platform Instrumentation Control as a stand-alone application from a Windows-based client,
follow these steps:
1. Click on the Start menu.
2. Select Programs.
3. Select Intel Server Control.
4. Select ISC Console. This action causes the ISC Console to launch. You can launch ISC tools, such as
PIC, from the ISC Console.
5. From the ISC Console either discover the server you want to manage or add the server. For information
on how to discover or add servers using the ISC Console, refer to the section titled “Server Menu
Option” that appears later in this manual. Discovering or adding a server causes icons for applicable
ISC tools to appear in the right pane of the ISC Control. If the managed server has Platform
Instrumentation software installed, the icon for PIC appears.
6. Double-click the PIC icon. This action causes the PIC login screen for the managed server to appear.
7. Enter your username and password and click OK.
For information on how to use the DMI-based PIC, refer to the Intel ® Platform Instrumentation Control
