2.2 Hardware installation
To install the IPMI expansion card to the client device’s motherboard:
2.1 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install the IPMI expansion card to the client
device’s motherboard.
• Unplug the server system power cord from the wall socket before touching
any component.
• Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to a metal
object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to avoid
damaging them due to static electricity.
• Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
• Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic
pad or in the bag that came with the component.
• Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power supply
is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure
to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or
components.
The cables connectors are notched to fit in only one orientation. Do not force the
cable connectors onto the board headers/connectors in the incorrect orientation.
1. (on selected models) Connect the BMC cable to the BMC header (
BMC_HEADER
) on
the IPMI expansion card and the BMC header on your motherboard.
Only connect this header if your motherboard features a
BMC_HEADER
, please
refer to the user manual that came with your motherboard package for more
details.
