2 Introducing the HP Server Remote Management Card The HP Server Remote Management Card combines an intelligent PCI card and integrated software that provides powerful remote server management. Management capabilities include server status monitoring, configurable event notification, and diagnostic features. The card's remote management capabilities are accessed using standard web browser software. The HP Server Remote Management Card consists of: • HP Server Remote Management Card. A PCI card that plugs into your HP Server. It includes an independent processor and draws power from the server's PCI bus. • A comprehensive management application stored in the board's firmware. Using this software, the HP Server Remote Management Card provides remote server control and management. Access to Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB), located on the server, provides for monitoring, server power control and diagnostic features. NOTE To provide complete independence from the server's Network Operating System, the HP Server Remote Management Card is accessed and controlled via a separate and independent communication interface (LAN or RS-232) built onto the product's PCI card. • A platform-independent web-based graphical user interface. The HP Server Remote Management Card web interface allows users to connect to the card in the server and, using a standard web browser, run the stored management application. Access to card functions may be controlled by specifying user access privileges. Note that using a "web" interface does not mean that the card may be accessed by anyone on the Internet. Your company's firewall and proxy servers prevent outside access to your local network or intranet. The dialback capability also provides extra security when communicating with the card via a dial-up modem. 5
