Hardware installation

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

system cover, and then locate

the Baseboard Management

Controller (BMC) connector 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. Place the board on the BMC

connector of the motherboard,

aligning with the pin connectors.

Refer to the Appendix section

for the location of the BMC

connector on supported

motherboards.
