Disclosed is a remote computer or server management system for coupling a
series of remote computers to one or more user workstations allowing for
efficient location, error detection and/or general status indication of
the remote computers or servers. In particular, computer interface
modules connected to the remote computers or servers include a signaling
circuit to emit an audible or visual signal upon detection of a problem
or upon receipt of a signal command from a user trying to locate a
particular remote computer. Alternatively, the signaling circuit may
transmit a message to the user workstation to inform the user of a
problem, general status (e.g., of firmware upgrade), etc., which may be
displayed on the user's video monitor.
