Chapter 2: Hardware Information

Before you can establish a connection to the ASMB8-iKVM board, you must configure the

LAN port for server management used by the remote server to connect to the local/central

server.
To configure the LAN port of the remote server:

1.

Run the ASMC8 utility from the support CD following the instructions in the previous

section.

2.

Set IP source:

  a. Type 

ASMC8 -bmc_ip_source 1 if you want to set a static IP address.

  b. Type 

ASMC8 -bmc_ip_source 2 if you want to get IP from DHCP server.

3. Type 

ASMC8 -bmc_ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx then press <Enter> to assign any IP

address to the remote server LAN port (if necessary). The screen displays the request

and response buffer. 

Write the remote server IP address in a piece of paper for reference.

When finished, the utility returns to the DOS prompt.

Make sure that the assigned IP address for both remote and local/central servers are in the

same subnet. You can use the network settings utility in your OS to check.

4.

Configure your subnet mask and gateway address if necessary.

a. Type 

ASMC8 -bmc_mask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (your subnet mask encoded in

hexadecimal system)

b. Type 

ASMC8 -bmc_gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (your gateway address

encoded in hexadecimal system)

5.

Restart the remote server, enter the BIOS setup, then boot from the hard disk drive.

6.

Adjust the local/central server network settings, if necessary.
