Ft Remote Management Card - NEC Express5800 Series User Manual

ft Remote Management Card

ft Remote Management Card function is compatible only with 320Fa-L, 320Fa-LR models.
An ft Remote Management Card needs to be installed on each CPU/IO module in order to use ft
Remote Management Cards.
IMPORTANT:
Even when the server is powered off (the POWER LED is off), the power is supplied to the
server if the power cords are connected. Therefore, before adding any ft Remote Management
Card, you must remove all power cords from the AC inlets. If ft Remote Management Cards are
installed with the power cords connected, the server and the ft Remote Management Cards may
be damaged.
ft Remote Management Cards can only be installed into the dedicated slots. If they are installed
into other slots such as slots for PCI EXPRESS, the server and the ft Remote Management Cards
may be damaged.
Since the sensor information specific to the server is not written to the added ft Remote
Management Card, the messages below are displayed and the startup process temporally stops
when starting the server (POST). The server may be in such a state when the NEC logo screen is
displayed and the startup process is stopped. Press ESC to delete the logo screen and check the
diagnostic message.
H/W Configuration of BMC is corrupted.
!! Update BMC H/W Configuration by configuration tool !!
!! Refer to BMC configuration manual !!
When the messages above are displayed, press F1or POST starts if you wait for a while. NEC
EXPRESSBUILDER starts by inserting the EXPRESSBUIDER CD-ROM that comes with the
server into the CD-ROM drive. Select the [Tools] menu - [Initialize Remote Management Card]
from the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER main menu and write the sensor information specific to the
server.
Running the initialize Remote Management Card resets the AC LINK setting (Server-AC LINK)
of the BIOS setup to the initial value "Last State." If you have changed the value, you will need
to set it again.
The ft Remote Management Card is extremely sensitive to static electricity. Make sure to touch
the metal frame of the server to discharge static electricity from your body before handling the
PCI board. Do not touch the board terminals or its parts with a bare hand or place the board
directly on the desk. For more information on static electricity, see "ANTI-STATIC
MEASURES" on page 8-3.
Make sure to read "ANTI-STATIC MEASURES" on page 8-3 and "PREPARING YOUR
SYSTEM FOR UPGRADE" on page 8-4 before starting installing or removing options.
