Settings on the Server

The following describes the setting procedure.
CHECK:
The resolution and refresh rate of the screen that can be displayed on a remote KVM console
are 1024x768, 75Hz and smaller respectively. If values larger than these are set, the remote
screen does not display any data. If a great value is set for the number of colors on the screen
for the server, the remote may not show colors accurately. Connecting this card to a network
where broadcast occurs frequently may affect remote control performance.

Initial Settings on the Server

1. If information specific to the server has not been written in, the following message informing
you that the server-specific information is not written is displayed while the NEC logo is
displayed, and the startup processing of the server is paused.
If this message is not displayed, the remote management function does not need to be
initialized. If it is displayed, the remote management function needs to be initialized in order
to monitor devices into details.
H/W Configuration of BMC is corrupted.
!! Update BMC H/W Configuration by configuration tool !!
!! Refer to BMC configuration manual !!
The message above may appear in a different screen during POST with the NEC logo shown
and paused. In that case, press the Esc key to display the diagnosis screen to check whether
or not the above message is shown. If a different error message is shown, refer to Chapter 7
"Troubleshooting."
2. How to make initial settings
Either wait for a while after the above message is shown or press the F1 key to precede
POST. Start up the "NEC EXPRESSBUILDER"DVD and select "initialize RNESte
Management Card" from the Tool menu. By doing so, information specific to each server
will be written in.
When writing the information is completed, the following message appears. Press any key to
reboot the server for use.
Programming complete, reboot server for normal operation.
Strike a key when ready...
TIPS:
Running the initialize Remote Management Card resets the AC LINK setting (Server-AC
LINK) of the BIOS setup to the initial value "Last State." If you have changed the value,
you will need to set it again.
