Chapter 3. Technical description of the hardware architecture 65
The BladeCenter Web interface allows the following:
A System Administrator can easily and effectively manage up to 14 blade
servers from an integrated interface.
Power the IBM BladeCenter JS23 and JS43 Express on or off.
Control over all blade servers and input/output (I/O) modules that are
attached to the BladeCenter chassis even with a mixed environment.
Manage other BladeCenter resources such as I/O modules and retrieval of
system health information.
Configure SoL for the IBM BladeCenter JS23 and JS43 Express.
3.11.2 IBM Director
IBM Director is a graphical user interface (GUI)-based management tool that
provides management functions for the BladeCenter. IBM Director enables you
to remotely manage many IBM and non-IBM servers, including the IBM
BladeCenter JS23 and JS43 Express. The IBM Director console allows System
Administrators to manage multiple BladeCenter chassis in a heterogeneous
environment or environments where a Director infrastructure exists.

IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager
IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager is the strategic power
management interface for all IBM server products. From Active Energy Manager
a user can display power trending information, display thermal information,
enable/disable power savings modes or set a power cap. An administrator may
connect a single instance of Active Energy Manager to multiple platforms,
including IBM Blade Center chassis with one ore more IBM BladeCenter JS23
and JS43 Express blades.
As the strategic power management interface, Active Energy Manager supports
the most comprehensive feature set of all the EnergyScale user interfaces, and is
delivered as an extension to IBM Director.
Active Energy Manager has now been integrated into the Web-based interface of
Director 6.1. The result is tighter integration of Active Energy Manager and IBM
Director, eliminating the separately-installable Active Energy Manager console
interface of previous Active Energy Manager releases.
