Hardware Installation and Configuration

4. Plug in the cable leading from the battery pack into the battery connector

on the card (refer to Figure 3-1).

For proper operation make sure that the battery is fully charged after installation
into the server. Charging takes about two hours after the server has been powered
up, or after the optional AC/DC power adapter has been plugged in.

CAUTION

The battery pack is already pre-charged. Be careful handling
the battery pack – a short-circuit in the battery cable can
damage the battery pack.

For detailed information about battery operation, replacement, recycling, and
disposal, see Appendix E.

Connecting the I

C Cable to the Remote Control Card

HP TopTools Remote Control provides an I

C/IPMB interface. This 4-pin

connector provides access to the I

C/IPMB bus on the server system board. It

allows remote monitoring of all sensors (for example, voltages and temperatures)
built into the system board, as well as access to the System Event Log (SEL) and
control of the front panel power and reset buttons.

Before installing the HP TopTools Remote Control card in the server, you need to
connect the I

C cable to the card. To connect the I

C cable:

1. Locate the I

C cable connector on the HP TopTools Remote Control card.

You'll find it next to and just below the battery pack connector. (Refer to
Figure 3-2.)
