Installing the HP Remote Assistant EISA
Board

Install the HP Remote Assistant EISA Board the same way that you install any other
EISA board in your server. The exact procedure will depend on your particular server
model. For specific information about installing EISA boards in your server, refer to
the manuals that came with the server. See Appendix F, "Technical Specifications,"
for information about the power requirements for your HP Remote Assistant board.

CAUTION

Before removing the cover, always disconnect the power cord and
unplug telephone cables.

Connecting the Power Control Cable

If you are installing into one of the HP NetServer series of servers, you can use the
power control cable provided with HP Remote Assistant to power cycle the server.

NOTE

Only the HP NetServers provide this remote shutdown feature. You cannot
connect the power control cable on HP Vectra server models or non-HP
servers.

1. With the system powered OFF and the HP Remote Assistant board installed in a

free system slot, connect the "Remote Assistant" end of the power control cable to
the HP Remote Assistant board.

2. Remove the jumper block from the 8-pin Power Control connector on the system

board and "park" the jumper on the paired jumper pins located on the HP Remote
Assistant board. Refer to the following illustrations for instruction on how to do
this on your HP NetServer system (LC, LE, LF, LH, LM, LS, LX).

NOTE

Do not discard the jumper block. If you remove the power control cable from
the server without replacing the jumper block, you will be unable to restart
the HP NetServer.
