2 Chapter 2: Installation This chapter provides instructions on how to install the board to the server system and install the utilities that the board supports.
2-2 Chapter 2: Installation 2.2 Hardware installation T o install the server management board: 1. Locate the ASMB6 connector on the motherboard. 2.1 Before you proceed T ake 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 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. 2. Place the card on the ASMB6 connector of the motherboard, aligning with the pin connectors. Refer to the Appendix section for the location of the ASMB6 connector on supported motherboards.
ASUS ASMB6-iKVM 2-3 4. When installed, the board appears as shown. 5. 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. 6. For direct LAN conguration, 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 . 7. Ensure the VGA, USB, PS/2 cables are corrected, then connect the power plug to a grounded wall socket. Everytime after the AC power is re-plugged, you have to wait for about 60 seconds for the system power up. 3. Press the board rmly until it is completely seated in place.
