Hardware installation

To install the server management board:
1. Remove the remote server
system cover, and then locate the
Baseboard Management Controller
(BMC) socket on the motherboard.
Refer to the Appendix
section for the location of the
BMC socket on supported
motherboards.
2. Position the board at a 30º-45º
angle, then match the notch on the
board with the break on the socket.
3. Carefully push the board to the
socket until its connectors (golden
fingers) are fully-inserted to the
socket.
2-2
Unplug the server system power cord from the wall socket before touching
any component.
Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to
a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling
components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power supply
is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure
to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or
components.
