Hardware installation

To install the server management board:
1. Remove the remote server system

cover, then locate the Baseboard

Management Controller (BMC)

socket on the motherboard.

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. 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

fingers) are fully-inserted to the

socket.

Refer to the Appendix section for

the location of the BMC socket

on supported motherboards.
