Safety information  
With reference to either the Guide or other documents, you should always pay particular attention to safety  
information before operating the ThinkServer. To ensure full compliance with the existing certification and  
licensing, you must follow the installation instructions in the Guide.  
Warning:  
Power on / off: The power button can not cut off system power or Remote Management Module power.  
To cut off the power of Remote Management Module, you must disconnect the AC power cord from the  
power outlet. When opening the chassis to install or remove the parts, you should make sure the AC  
power cord has been disconnected.  
Dangerous situations, equipment and cables: Power, telephones and signal cables may have the  
danger of electric shock. Before opening the device, shut down the server, disconnected the power cord,  
the communication system, network and modem connected to the server. Otherwise, it may result in  
personal injury or equipment damage.  
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage disk  
drivers, system board and other components. We recommend that you complete all the steps in this  
Section only in the ESD protective workstations. If ESD workstation is unavailable, wear anti-static wrist  
strap while holding parts and connect the wrist strap to the ground wire (that is, any unpainted metal  
surface) of the server chassis to provide ESD protection.

ESD and holding system boards: Be careful when holding the system board. They are extremely  
sensitive to ESD. Only touch the edge when holding the system board. Lay the system board with  
components side facing upwards after taking the system board out of the protection bag or the sever.  
Use the conductive foam pad (if any) rather than the system board package. Do not slide the system  
board on any surface.  
Installing or removing jumper: Jumper is a small plastic conductor between two jumper pins. Some  
jumpers have a small wing on the top for you to use fingertips or fine needle forceps to clip it. If the  
jumper has no such wing, be careful when installing or removing it with needle forceps, and clip the  
jumper's narrow face instead of the wide one. Clipping the wide face will damage the contacts inside  
the jumper, which will lead to intermittent faults to some functions controlled by the jumper. Clip the  
jumper carefully with pliers or other tools and do not squeeze when removing it. Otherwise, pins on the  
system board may be bent or broken.

Chapter 5. Remote console (KVM) operation  
The remote console is the redirection screen, keyboard and mouse of the remote host system (the  
ThinkServer Remote Management Module has been installed on it). If there is a need to use the remote  
console of the managed host system, make sure that the server has Java* runtime environment plug-in.  
When the remote console is started, a new window will be opened, showing the screen of the host system.  
Operating the remote console is just like an administrator is sitting on front of the screen of the remote  
system. This means that the user can use the keyboard and mouse as he usually does.  
Note: Pay attention that if the host operation system is Windows 2003, set the display resolution under  
1280*1024 (excluding).  
Start redirection console  
The remote console is the redirection keyboard, video and mouse of the remote host system (the ThinkServer  
Remote Management Module has been installed on it).  
Step 1. Click Console Redirection in this page to start the redirection window for remote console KVM.  
Step 2. By clicking Java Console, you can start the redirection console and carry out remote management  
for server.  
Step 3. A pop-up window will be shown and begin to download Java network boot protocol Jviewer.jnlp  
document after you click Java Console. And then, the Java applications for the implement of  
remote console will be downloaded.  
Notes:  
• Before the JNLP document is booted, Java Runtime Environment (JRE) V6.0 Update 13 or  
higher version must be set up on the client.  
• The client browser must allow showing the pop-up windows from the IP address of ThinkServer  
Remote Management Module.  
This remote console window is a Java Applet for creating the TCP connections to the ThinkServer  
Remote Management Module. The protocol over these connections is a unique KVM protocol,  
rather than HTTP or HTTPS. This protocol dedicated port for KVM is #7578, port #5120 for CD-ROM  
CD-ROM media redirection and port #5123 for floppy/USB media redirection. Your local network  
environment must allow creating these connections. That is to say, if you have a private intranet,  
the setups of firewall and Network Address Translation (NAT) must be configured accordingly.  
Main window  
When the remote console is started, the main window of remote console will appear.  
The remote console shows the screen of the remote server. Operating the remote console is just like you are  
in front of the remote server. The response speed maybe a little delay, depending on the bandwidth and  
delay between the ThinkServer Remote Management Module and the remote console.  
Menu bar of the remote console  
There is a menu bar on the top of the remote console window. You can view the status of the remote console  
and configure the setup for locale remote console through the items on the menu bar.

Redirect Floppy/USB Key/Redirect Floppy/USB Key Image: This allows you to redirect the local  
floppy driver, local USB Key Driver or the IMG files for floppy disk to the virtual floppy devices in the  
remote system.  
12 ThinkServer RD230 and RD240 Remote Management User Guide  
 
         
These virtual devices can read, write (providing the property is not read only) and boot, which are similar with  
any other CD-ROMs or floppies in the remote system. But only when certain media redirections are active,  
these virtual devices are available in the remote operating system or BIOS setting menu. The setting is valid  
after remote system reset or it is power-on or power-off. These devices will not disappear from the remote  
system until the relevant check boxes in the remote console window are cleared.  
Note: This kind of virtual devices are not limited to the normal size of floppy or CD-ROM. They can be as  
large as the redirecting devices or files. During the installation of remote operating system (the floppy drivers  
may be required), the USB Key Drivers can be redirected to the virtual floppy devices (rather than the USB  
devices) in order to allow loading the custom device drivers.  
Status bar of the remote console
