RS FT Il systems The IES module is integrated into the ERS FT II systems In the Density the IES module is a Multiplexor IES module board which is installed in a backplane slot The IES Module is one portion of the management system for Cubix chassis and Cubix server boards the other portions are the IES Supervisor and GlobalVision The IES Module is the hardware that performs the monitoring and management functions as configured by GlobalVision The IES communicates with Cubix products via the out of band not on the network IES data highway This design does not depend completely upon the network and backplane for managing Cubix chassis and servers Only a few functions use the network Therefore IES management is not disabled by network problems Additionally neither the network nor the Cubix backplane is burdened with management communication The IES is designed to provide non intrusive management within the Cubix network system IES Module and Integrated IES The IES Module and the integrated IES in ERS FT Il have been designed by Cubix to monitor the health of all Cubix computers and Cubix chassis products The IES monitors chassis voltage levels power supply status temperature and fan rotation The IES also monitors the health of the individual Cubix computers by detecting when a computer is not responding to poll requests The IES can detect software hangs and other abnormal computer operations If IES detects that a c
