Appendix G

Overview

The optional modem allows the MegaRAC G2 card to do the following:
Feature
dial out and send alerts
configure and reset the MegaRAC G2 card
update the MegaRAC G2 card's firmware
view the MegaRAC G2 card's health information and
event log
view the host system's health information
remotely control the host system's hardware reset and
power cycle
serial over modem text redirection
Note: Host system health information is only available if you have a Sensor Definition Kit
(SDK) file for the host system's motherboard or it has a Baseboard Management
Controller (BMC). The BMC must be IPMI 1.0 compliant or greater.
Note: The optional modem is NOT designed for Console Redirection. However, you can still
perform Console Redirection, but it is debilitating and extremely slow.

Before You Start

Avoid Electro-Static Discharge (ESD)

Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) can damage the MegaRAC G2 card, modem
daughterboard, and other system components. Keep your modem daughterboard in its
anti-static bag until it is to be installed. Avoid contact with any component or
connector on any adapter card, printed circuit board, or memory module. Handle these
components by the mounting bracket.
