remote server system.

Hardware installation

To set up the server system for server management:
1.
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.
2.
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.
3.
Ensure the VGA, USB, PS/2 cables are connected, then connect the power plug to a
grounded wall socket.
Every time after the AC power is re-plugged, you have to wait for about 70 seconds for the
system power up.
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.
