systems, refer to your system documentation for more
information.
4. Connect the free end of the I

C/IPMB cable to the I

C/IPMB management
bus connector on the server’s system board. The connector is keyed and
color coded.

connector on the card’s bracket. Plug the AC/DC adapter power cord into
a wall outlet or uninterruptible power supply.
Set up the remote connection (see Chapter 4 for detailed instructions):
1. Set up the LAN or modem connection that allows the HP TopTools
Remote Control card to communicate with a remote client:
◊ For a LAN connection: Connect your dedicated 10Base-T compatible
LAN line to the card’s RJ-45 LAN connector.
◊ For a modem connection: Connect a serial modem cable (not
provided) to the card’s serial port and connect the other end to an
external modem.
2. Boot the server. During Power-On Self-Test, when prompted, press F3 to
enter the HP TopTools Remote Control BIOS setup program.
◊ If you plan on connecting to the TopTools Remote Control card via
the LAN: Define card’s TCP/IP properties (either use a unique IP
Address for the card, Subnet Mask, and Gateway, or enable DHCP and
have your DHCP server assign these addresses for you).
