Factors Affecting System Performance
Disabling Console Redirection
System video performance may be decreased if console redirection is enabled in system setup and
you are running the EFI partition. You should disable console redirection in system setup if console
redirection is not required.
Faulty CMOS Battery
If the system CMOS battery is faulty, discharged, or missing, the BMC cannot accurately monitor
the system status. In this case, as a precaution, the system processor(s) will operate at a slower
speed (800 MHz) until the CMOS battery is replaced.
Asset Tag Utility
The Asset Tag utility files are located in the Utilities\AssetTag directory on the resource CD. These
files must be copied to a location on your hard drive or removable media in order to run the Asset
Tag utility. Alternately, you can run the Asset Tag utility from the EFI Service Partition, if a Service
Partition is installed on your system. When run from the EFI Service Partition, the files are located
in the EFI\Service\AssetTag directory.
See the Asset Tag Tool Release Notes on the resource CD for more information about using the
Asset Tag Utility.
BMC Management Utility
To use the SOL Proxy service after installing the BMC management utility using the BMC Install
program, you must either reboot the system or manually start the SOL Proxy service. See the
