Chapter 3Hardware Installation and Configuration

NOTE

The I2C cable is both color coded and keyed to plug in to the

 

I2C/IPMB connector only one way. HP does not support

 

installations of the HP TopTools Remote Control card in

 

systems that do not include the I2C/IPMB feature. Currently,

 

these include systems such as the HP NetServer LC 3, LH 3

 

and LH 4. To find out if your server includes an I2C/IPMB

 

connector, refer to your server documentation.

 

 

Connecting an Optional AC/DC Adapter

In addition to the battery pack, you may purchase an external AC/DC 5-volt adapter and use it to supply power to the HP TopTools Remote Control card even if the server’s power is down. The optional AC/DC adapter (HP part number D6138A) is available from your authorized HP dealer. HP recommends use of the adapter when you want to extend the card’s remote power-on feature beyond the limits of the battery pack’s capability (30 to 60 minutes).
