The optional modem allows the ARMC card to do the following:

Feature

dial out and send alerts

configure and reset the ARMC card

update the ARMC card's firmware

view the ARMC card's health information and event

log

view the host system's health information

remotely control the host system's hardware reset and

power cycle

serial over modem text redirection

Note:

Host system health information is only available if you have a Sensor Definition Kit

(SDK) file for the host system's motherboard or it has a Baseboard Management

Controller (BMC). The BMC must be IPMI 1.0 compliant or greater.

Note:

The optional modem is NOT designed for Console Redirection. However, you can still

perform Console Redirection, but it is debilitating and extremely slow.

Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) can damage the ARMC card, modem daughterboard,

and other system components. Keep your modem daughterboard in its anti-static bag

until it is to be installed. Avoid contact with any component or connector on any

adapter card, printed circuit board, or memory module. Handle these components by

the mounting bracket.
