2 Hardware Installation and Configuration
22
After the HP Remote Assistant EISA Board is installed and proper operation is
verified, power on the server and run the EISA Configuration Utility as described in
the next section. (Failure to run the EISA configuration utility may prevent the server
from booting properly.)
Using the EISA Configuration Utility
After you've physically installed the HP Remote Assistant board in the server, and
selected your network operation system (NOS), you must use the EISA Configuration
Utility (provided with your HP NetServer on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM)
to adjust system parameters. These parameters (in the form of a standard EISA .CFG
file) are then stored in non-volatile memory on your system.
NOTE In order to use all features of HP Remote Assistant, you need to install a HP
NetServer Navigator Utility Partition on your system, or a bootable DOS
partition with 8 MB of available space.
The CFG file assigns the on-board modem (Models D2968C and D2969C) or external
serial port to one of the server's COM ports and thus enables DOS-level file and
Windows NT graphics console redirection.
Configuring the HP Remote Assistant Board
To configure the HP Remote Assistant accessory board:
1. Boot the server from the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM.
NOTE If you are installing the HP Remote Assistant on an already configured
system, you may be prompted to update the BIOS. In this case, the version
stored on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM is newer than the one on
your system. Be advised that failure to update the BIOS may cause
configuration problems.
If you already have a version of the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM on hand (in
addition to the one that came packaged with HP Remote Assistant), be sure to use
the latest version.
OR
If your HP NetServer does not have CD-ROM capability, boot the HP NetServer #1
ECU Diskette (included with your HP NetServer package) and at the display
prompt, select Configure Computer. This loads the EISA Configuration Utility.
Proceed to number five below.
