Remote Access management how to?

[Dixit Suthar]

I have acquired a Hp Netserver LP 1000r with 933mhz single cpu with 256meg RAM. Now it has the dual nic configuration with LAN/Remote Manager for LanA.

Now my question is how do I know if I have the hardware requires to do remote manage of this server? What I mean is Im familiar with the compaq servers which use their Remote Insight to see the server from boot to OS loaded from a remote console through the web.

Does this HP netserver have that ability? Do I need a special card to do this? Or does it come standard and all I have to do is configure it?

Right now I can do what I need for the moment with Terminal Services for my win2k server. But if I want to do anything with the BIOS or other things outside the OS, then I would have to be phyiscally near the server where my console is.

Any help would be appreciated.

There's a special card, the Toptools Remote card but it doesn't have all the features of the RIB board.
