Thank you for buying an ASUS Thank you for buying an ASUS Thank you for buying an ASUS Thank you for buying an ASUS Thank you for buying an ASUS î î î î î ASMB2 server management ASMB2 server management ASMB2 server management ASMB2 server management ASMB2 server management board! board! board! board! board! The ASUS ASMB2 is an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0-compliant board that allows you to monitor, control, and manage a remote server from the local or central server in your local area network (LAN). The ASMB2 comes with the proprietary ASUS Remote Console (ARC) application that offers round-the-clock remote server monitoring through the component sensors. With ARC, you can monitor the remote server CPU(s) temperature(s), system temperature, fan rotations, and power supply voltages. The ASMB2 records each remote server system event for accurate and efficient troubleshooting. ARC allows you to update the remote server system BIOS file when it gets outdated or corrupted. It also lets you move through the BIOS file menus using the Remote Console Redirection feature. To keep you always informed of the remote server system status, ARC is also capable of sending Short Message Service (SMS) or text message to your mobile or PDA phone. The ASMB2 comes with a power management feature that allows you to power on/off or reset the remote server giving you full control during power-critical situations. The server management board also comes with a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information feature that gathers information on replaceable system components or modules such as the motherboard or backplane model name, serial number, manufacturer, etc. You can use the FRU information when reporting and/or replacing server system components. Before you start installing the server management board check the items in your package with the list below. If any of the above items is damaged or missing, contact your retailer. 1.2 Package contents Check your server management board package for the following items. î ASUS ASMB2 board î Support CD î User guide

A Reference information The Appendix shows the location of the LAN port for server management and BMC socket on several motherboards. This section also presents common problems that you may encounter when installing or using the server management board.
A-2 A-2 A-2 A-2 A-2 Appendix: Reference information Appendix: Reference information Appendix: Reference information Appendix: Reference information Appendix: Reference information A.1 LAN port for server management The ASUS server motherboards that support the ASMB2 comes with two LAN (RJ-45) ports: one for network connection and the other for server management. For easy identification, the LAN port for server management is the LAN port near the VGA port. You must use the LAN port for server management to connect the remote server to the local/central host (direct LAN connection) or to the network hub or router. Refer to the illustrations below to identify the LAN port for server management on some server motherboards.

The ASUS ASMB2 is an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0-compliant board that allows you to monitor, control, and manage a remote server from the local or central server in your local area network (LAN). The ASMB2 comes with the proprietary ASUS Remote Console (ARC) application that offers round-the-clock remote server monitoring through the component sensors. With ARC, you can monitor the remote server CPU(s) temperature(s), system temperature, fan rotations, and power supply voltages. The ASMB2 records each remote server system event for accurate and efficient troubleshooting. ARC allows you to update the remote server system BIOS file when it gets outdated or corrupted. It also lets you move through the BIOS file menus using the Remote Console Redirection feature. To keep you always informed of the remote server system status, ARC is also capable of sending Short Message Service (SMS) or text message to your mobile or PDA phone. The ASMB2 comes with a power management feature that allows you to power on/off or reset the remote server giving you full control during power-critical situations. The server management board also comes with a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information feature that gathers information on replaceable system components or modules such as the motherboard or backplane model name, serial number, manufacturer, etc. You can use the FRU information when reporting and/or replacing server system components. Before you start installing the server management board check the items in your package with the list below. If any of the above items is damaged or missing, contact your retailer. 1.2 Package contents Check your server management board package for the following items. î ASUS ASMB2 board î Support CD î User guide

Remove the remote server system cover, then locate the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) socket on the motherboard. 2.1 Before you proceed Take note of the following precautions before you install the server management board to the remote server system. ⢠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 Before you install or remove any component, ensure Before you install or remove any component, ensure Before you install or remove any component, ensure Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power supply is switched off or the power that the power supply is switched off or the power that the power supply is switched off or the power that the power supply is switched off or the power that the power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. cord is detached from the power supply. cord is detached from the power supply. cord is detached from the power supply. cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components. 2. Position the board at a 30ú-45ú 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. Refer to the Appendix section for the location of the BMC socket on supported motherboards.

When installed, the board appears as shown. 5. Reinstall the server system cover, then connect the power plug to a grounded wall socket. 6. Insert the LAN cable plug to the LAN port for server management. Refer to the Appendix for the location of the LAN port for server management on various server motherboards. 7. For direct LAN configuration, connect the other end of the LAN cable to the local/central server LAN port. For connection to a network hub or router, connect the other end of the LAN cable to the network hub or router.
