Verifying and Updating the Server’s System BIOS
To verify that the server’s system BIOS is compatible with HP TopTools Remote
Control:
1. Insert the HP NetServer Navigator CD supplied with HP TopTools
Remote Control in the NetServer’s CD-ROM drive and reboot. The
Navigator CD boots and automatically verifies that the system BIOS and
firmware are compatible with HP TopTools Remote Control.
2. If the system BIOS (or associated firmware) is out of date or otherwise
incompatible, update it.
3. When you have finished, remove the HP NetServer Navigator CD and
reboot the system.
Preparing the HP TopTools Remote Control Card
The HP TopTools Remote Control card can function independently of the server’s
power state (on or off). Power for the card can be supplied through the use of the
included rechargeable on-board battery pack and/or an optional external AC/DC
adapter.
For example, if the server power is not available due to a power failure, HP
TopTools Remote Control switches automatically to an alternate source. The first
priority is to use the external AC/DC adapter, if an AC/DC adapter is not
available, it uses the battery.
NOTE Without an external AC/DC adapter, the battery pack is able
to power the HP TopTools Remote Control card for about one
hour in case of a server power failure. When the server’s
power is on, the battery recharges off the server’s PCI bus.
Mounting the Battery Pack
The battery pack must be mounted on the HP TopTools Remote Control card
before the card is installed in the server. Note that the battery’s sides are slotted
so that it can slide onto the printed circuit board as shown in Figure 3-1.
