1 Quick Start This chapter provides a quick overview of the steps required for setting up and using the HP Server Remote Management Card. If you have experience setting up computer hardware and software, you can use the following section as a brief installation guide.
Page 8 Chapter 1 Quick Start 2. Install the HP Server Remote Management Card in PCI slot 6. 3. Connect the free end of the 50-pin ribbon cable to the 50-pin connector on the server's system board. The connector is keyed. IMPORTANT After you have installed the HP Server Remote Management Card, you must flash the server system BIOS.
Page 9 Chapter 1 Quick Start If you plan to connect to the HP Server Remote Management Card via the LAN: Verify that the client has TCP/IP software is installed and it is properly ◊ configured for your LAN (client's IP address, subnet mask, and gateway) by checking the TCP/IP protocol properties from the Network program in the control panel.
Page 10 Chapter 1 Quick Start If connecting via modem, enter the card's PPP IP address that you ◊ entered when you ran the HP Server Remote Management Card BIOS setup (for example: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/). Once you are connected, the HP Server Remote Management Card Identity page is displayed in your browser window (see Figure 5-1).
Page 11: Introducing The Hp Server Remote Management Card
2 Introducing the HP Server Remote Management Card The HP Server Remote Management Card combines an intelligent PCI card and integrated software that provides powerful remote server management. Management capabilities include server status monitoring, configurable event notification, and diagnostic features. The card's remote management capabilities are accessed using standard web browser software.
Page 12: How The Hp Server Remote Management Card Works
Chapter 2 Introducing HP Server Remote Management Card How the HP Server Remote Management Card Works The HP Server Remote Management Card operates independent of the server.

7 Troubleshooting This chapter provides some guidelines for troubleshooting the HP Server Remote Management Card. Different sections highlight difficulties related to: • Installation problems • Paging concerns • Remote client issues Problems with Installation The HP Server Remote Management Card does not respond. Make sure that the HP Server Remote Management Card is securely seated in a PCI slot.
Page 56 Chapter 7 Troubleshooting If your pager service generates repetitive tones when it answers, the HP Server Remote Management Card modem may interpret the tones as a busy signal and attempt to re-dial. To prevent this, change the X4 command in the modem initialization string to X0 (blind dialing).

Page 81: C Installing And Using Tftp
C Installing and Using TFTP Overview: What Is TFTP? TFTP, the Trivial File Transfer Protocol, allows the HP Server Remote Management Card to access boot floppy images and new firmware images stored at a LAN or modem-connected computer. TFTP is built on top of TCP/IP and is functionally a subset of FTP.
Page 82 Appendix C Installing and Using TFTP Figure C-1. Using TFTP to Remotely Supply Updates and Boot Images TFTP server side software for Windows 95, 98, or 2000 and Windows NT is supplied on the HP Netserver Navigator CD as the file: \ttrc\us\tftpserv.exe The server software is designed only to serve files to a TFTP client, not to receive them.

In the Card Maintenance section, fill in the IP address of the TFTP server and the filename of the firmware.
Page 85 Appendix C Installing and Using TFTP Starting an HP Server from a remote boot image requires that you have already created an alternate bootable floppy image file and that this image is available in the base directory used by the TFTP server. After the HP Server Remote Management Card processes a remote reboot, the feature is disabled automatically so that the next boot will be a local boot.
Page 86 Appendix C Installing and Using TFTP In the following procedure, you format a floppy disk to include system (boot) capability and load the software (drivers, applications) that you want run during the boot process. Finally when you have provided all necessary software components to the disk, you copy an image of the floppy to your TFTP server using copydisk.exe.
