2.3.2Configuring the LAN controller

Before you can establish connection to the ASMB-LE board, you must configure the LAN port for server management being used by the remote server to connect to the local/central server.

To configure the LAN port of the remote server:

1.On the prompt, type asmc -tco enable, then press <Enter>. The screen displays the auto-detected information including the motherboard name, vendor-device code, and the physical address (MAC) of the remote server.

A:\>asmc -tco enable
Detect	MotherBoard		-> (PSCH-LR)
Detect	KCS Interface
	Bus	Dev	Fun	Vendor-Device	MAC

======== ====== ======= ====== ============== ===================

PSCH-LR 01 01 00 8086 - 1075 00-11-2F-0F-A2-21

Please shutdown the system (Standby power) to enable TCO mode! A:\>

2.Shutdown the remote server, then disconnect the power plug from the electrical socket to enable the TCO mode.

3.Restart the remote server from the support CD.

The TCO (Total Cost Ownership) interface for Intel® Fast Ethernet and Gigabit LAN controllers allows you to manage the remote server system even when its operating system is not fully functional.
