The ASUS ASMB2 is an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)
2.0-compliant board that allows you to monitor, control, and manage a
remote server from the local or central server in your local area network
(LAN).
The ASMB2 comes with the proprietary ASUS Remote Console (ARC)
application that offers round-the-clock remote server monitoring through
the component sensors. With ARC, you can monitor the remote server
CPU(s) temperature(s), system temperature, fan rotations, and power
supply voltages. The ASMB2 records each remote server system event for
accurate and efficient troubleshooting.
ARC allows you to update the remote server system BIOS file when it gets
outdated or corrupted. It also lets you move through the BIOS file menus
using the Remote Console Redirection feature. To keep you always
informed of the remote server system status, ARC is also capable of
sending Short Message Service (SMS) or text message to your mobile or
PDA phone.
The ASMB2 comes with a power management feature that allows you to
power on/off or reset the remote server giving you full control during
power-critical situations. The server management board also comes with a
Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information feature that gathers information
on replaceable system components or modules such as the motherboard or
backplane model name, serial number, manufacturer, etc. You can use the
FRU information when reporting and/or replacing server system
components.
Before you start installing the server management board check the items in
