Abstract
A start processing unit conducts start processings including a self diagnosis processing and a BOOT processing of an operating system and then starts an application when power of a computer system is turned on. A trouble notification unit controls the power of the computer system and integrally monitors a trouble of the start processing unit and a trouble during system operation. The trouble notification unit, provided as a server management support board, acquires log information stored in the start processing unit and notifies an external remote maintenance system of the log information as well as an alarm message trough a dedicated network interface when the trouble notification unit detects the trouble of the start processing unit (system down).
