13 Installing the WebReboot
Installation - PCI Slot Connector
1. Install the PCI Slot Connector into an open PCI slot in
the back of your server.
2. Identify the reset pins located on the motherboard. If
necessary, refer to the documentation of your
motherboard to locate the reset pins.
3. (Optional) If the reset pins are currently connected to a
reset switch on the exterior of your server’s case,
disconnect the reset switch cable from the motherboard
and connect it to the Reset Switch pins on the PCI Slot
Connector. This will enable you to reboot your computer
both through the WebReboot and the case reset switch.
4. Using the Motherboard Cable included with your PCI
Slot Connector, connect the reset pins located on the
motherboard to the MoBo Pins on the PCI Slot
Connector.
5. Use the WebReboot Cable included in the WebReboot
package to connect to an open reboot port on the rear of
the WebReboot. Attach the other end of the cable to the
WebReboot pins on the exterior side of the PCI Slot
Connector.
