The NVH-RMMv2 (ASMB9-iKVM) is an effective remote server management chip that is IPMI 2.0 compliant and provides the OS-independent and cross-platform interface for monitoring the server system such as temperature, voltage, and Fan status etc. MIS can be informed of the server working status from anywhere, anytime via real-time event notification.

The NVH-RMMv2 supports remotely update BIOS to save MIS time and efforts; standalone KVM with HTML 5 interface simplifies remote control process; video recording and BSOD capture for easily trouble-shooting. With simple steps, MIS is able to control servers by functions keys and remote server screen to accomplish KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) over LAN, which is based on out-of-band management and keeps working to provide around-the-clock remote monitor and diagnosis through GUI (Web-based Graphical User Interface) even the server OS is down.

LAN ports for server management

The ASUS server motherboards that support ASMB9-iKVM comes with three (3) LAN (RJ-45) ports: one for network connection and the other two for server management. For easy identification, the LAN ports for server management are Shared LAN and DM_LAN1 ports. You must use the Shared LAN and DM_LAN1 ports for server management to connect the remote server to the local/central host (direct LAN connection) or to the network hub or router. Refer to the illustration below to identify the Shared LAN and DM_LAN1 ports for server management on some server motherboards.

Configuring the BMC IP address

To configure the BMC in the BIOS:

1. Restart the remote server, then press during POST to enter the BIOS setup.

2. Go to the Server Mgmt menu, then select the BMC network configuration sub-menu. Use this sub-menu to configure the BMC settings.

3. When finished, press to save your changes and exit the BIOS setup.
