Connect the MegaRAC G4 USB cable from your host system’s USB port to you 
MegaRAC® G4 card. 

• 

Connect your AC adapter to the MegaRAC G4 USB cable. 

Note: 

The AC Adapter (optional) continues to provide power to the MegaRAC card in the 
event that the host system is on standby mode (3.3V STB) or powered on. 

 

 

Power on the motherboard and enter the BIOS. Using the following table, confirm that your

Note: 

Make sure that your motherboard BIOS supports Legacy USB devices, USB Boot or 
Boot to USB. 

Note: 

On some motherboards and server boards, depress the <CTRL>, <ALT>, and <ESC> 
keys simultaneously to enter the BIOS. On others use the <F2> keys. See your server’s 
documentation for more information on entering the BIOS setup. 

 

 

 
The MegaRAC® G4 card is ready to be used at this stage. If you have an AC Adapter 
attached to the MegaRAC® G4 card’s USB cable, it will be powered on even if your 
host system is not powered on. 
 
At this point you may wish to do an initial configuration of the MegaRAC® G4 card in 
order to find its IP Address.  
 
You can access the MegaRAC® G4 card from another system via the network. AMI 
refers to this other system as the client system. To do this, you must know the 
MegaRAC® G4 card’s IP Address. If you have installed the MegaRAC® G4 card on a 
network that uses DHCP, you can search the network for the MegaRAC® G4 card. To 
locate and find out its IP Address, run the G4ConfigApp Utility located on your CD. 
 
G4ConfigApp 
 
The MegaRAC card can be located using the G4ConfigApp utility. Once the IP Address 
is located or configured, you can use your Internet browser to access the MegaRAC 
card remotely. The G4ConfigApp utility is a GUI-based program that must be run from 
the host machine. The host machine is the computer that has the MegaRAC card 
installed in it. 
 
To run the G4ConfigApp program, double left click the G4ConfigApp.exe icon 
located in the following directories on your MegaRAC™ G4 CD: 
CDROM\ServerAgent\Windows\ 
 
The G4ConfigApp Dialog window will appear. When prompted for the user name and 
password, use root for the User Name and superuser for the Password. Both are 
all lower-case characters. Once logged in, you will be able to get the MegaRAC card’s 
current network information.

Note: 

When you log in using the root user name and password, you have full 
administrative powers. It is advised that once you log in, you change the 
root

 password. 

 
Setup your Client System’s Internet Browser 
  
You must first set up Internet Explorer browser on the client system before you can 
redirect the host system’s console. Set up Internet Explorer’s Security Settings to allow 
the downloading of Signed ActiveX controls and also allow it to run Signed ActiveX 
controls. See the MegaRAC G4 User’s Guide located on the MegaRAC G4 CD for 
more information. 
 
Note: 

At the time this document was being created, the MegaRAC ActiveX 
controls were in the process of being “signed” (by VeriSign®) so that they 
could be authenticated by Internet browsers. If redirection does not operate 
properly, you may have to set up Internet Explorer’s Security Settings to 
allow the downloading of Unsigned ActiveX controls and also allow it to run 
Unsigned ActiveX controls as well. 

 

 

 
At this stage if you already have an operating system loaded on the host system, you 
can boot to it. While the operating system is booting up, it will detect the MegaRAC 
G4 card’s USB devices (that make device redirection possible). 
 
The operating system will default to the standard drivers for all devices. If you are 
running Linux on your host system, it will continue to use default drivers.
