Abstract

A computer system comprising a CPU, a data bus, components and a communication module for the administration of the CPU or components. The communication module comprises a data interface coupled to the data bus of the computer system. The user interface comprises a display unit and a control panel. A control unit is coupled to the user interface and the data interface for transmitting data to and from the CPU or components using the data bus. A memory is provided for the storage of configuration parameters and status information, which is coupled to the control unit via a memory bus. The communication module is adapted for obtaining system information of the components without using the CPU of the computer system and performing a configuration of the components using the configuration parameters.
