Service processor control has enhanced versatility by delivering and maintaining component information with less labor and lower cost. A system includes a client storing component information on all hardware and firmware constituting a product (with the client connected to a drawing server), an EC sheet server, a program server, a manual server, and a service processor connected to the Internet. The service processor has a console function for at least the service processor, extracting component information through an SVP browser, and allowing the service processor to conduct a maintenance service, and further includes a console service and the like relating to a host.
