Zusammenfassung:A service processor computing arrangement is associated with a cellular multiprocessing cell. The arrangement includes a scan machine coupled to communicate with processing hardware of the cell and a service processor coupled to an external communications interface of the scan machine. The scan machine includes remote scan software that performs at least one of monitoring and configuration of the processing hardware, and a first remote install program that receives update data via the external communications interface and applies the update data to the remote scan software. The service processor includes a server control program that performs at least one of monitoring and configuring the cell via the remote scan machine, and a second remote install program that applies the update data to the scan machine via the first remote install program.
