Setting Up the Remote Connection
To use the remote boot feature:
1. Set Remote Boot to "on." Note that once this is set, the Server will
continue to attempt to boot off a remote boot image until you go back into
the HP Server Remote Management Card BIOS setup program and set this
option to "off."
2. Define the filename of the boot image.
3. Enter the IP Address of the TFTP server where the image file is located.
4. When you are finished running the HP Server Remote Management Card's
BIOS Setup program, restart the Server and run the Server's BIOS Setup
program (typically, accessed by pressing F2 when prompted during the
boot-up process). Be sure that the floppy drive is listed as a bootable
device and is placed first in the boot order.

NOTE
Instructions for setting up a TFTP server may be found in
Appendix C, or contact your local network administrator for
the correct TFTP server setup and for available boot images. A
TFTP server should typically be located within your company's
firewall.
Setting Up a LAN Connection
You can communicate with remote clients by connecting to your local
10/100Base-T compatible network using the RJ-45 jack located at the rear bracket
of the HP Server Remote Management Card and an appropriate cable.
The following figure illustrates a LAN connection joining an HP Server (with the
HP Server Remote Management Card) and a remote client.
