Product Description
IBM 7042-CR5 Rack-mounted Hardware Management Console (HMC)
The IBM 7042-CR5 is a 1U rack-mounted Hardware Management Console that provides centralized management for IBM Power Systems servers.
Product Description
The IBM 7042-CR5 is a dedicated 1U rack-mounted Hardware Management Console (HMC) based on an Intel Xeon processor. It provides a graphical interface for creating and managing logical partitions, monitoring system resources, activating Capacity on Demand features, performing firmware updates, and handling problem determination for managed Power Systems. The unit supports connection to one or more managed systems via private and public networks. It includes dual power supply capability, hot-swap storage, and an optical drive. The 7042-CR5 is based on server machine type 7946 Model 52U or PAL and is designed primarily for POWER5, POWER6, POWER7, and Power8 systems. Support for later generations depends on the installed HMC code level.
