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 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.
2.2 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
ngers) are fully-inserted to the
socket.
2-2 Chapter 2: Installation
4. Press the board rmly until the
BMC socket retaining clips snap
back and secure the board in
place.
When installed, the board appears
as shown.
5. Reinstall the remote server system cover, then connect the power plug to a
grounded wall socket.
Everytime after the AC power is re-plugged, you have to wait for about 30
seconds for the system power up.
6. Insert the LAN cable plug to the IKVM LAN port for server management.
Refer to the Appendix for the location of the IKVM LAN port for server
management on various server motherboards.
7. For direct LAN conguration, 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.
ASUS ASMB3-IKVM 2-3
To uninstall the board:
1. Simultaneously push the BMC
socket retaining clips outward until
the board tilts up.
2. Carefully pull the board out from
the BMC socket, then set aside.
