2 Hardware Installation and
Configuration
This chapter provides instructions for installing the HP Remote Assistant EISA Board
in a server and setting up a hardware connection that permits remote management of
the server. (See Chapter 3 for information on installing HP Remote Assistant
software.) Installation and configuration of the hardware includes:
•
Installing the HP Remote Assistant board
•
Installing the HP Remote Assistant Remote Control cable
•
Running the EISA Configuration Utility to configure the HP Remote Assistant
board resources in the server
•
Setting up the modem or configuring for a direct connection
•
Using the Remote Assistant Configuration Utility to set up remote access and event
monitoring
Two distinct configurations are required: the EISA configuration and Remote
Assistant configuration. Once you've installed and set up the HP Remote Assistant
hardware on your server, you must then install the remote server software as described
in Chapter 3.
