ICMB Card
The ICMB card allows two servers to communicate through a serial connection. An ICMB card is
installed in each server; the cards are connected through a serial cable.
Establishing communication between servers using the ICMB card is a two-step process. First,
install the ICMB card in each server. Lastly, make sure that the software required for the card is in
place. Software for the ICMB card includes firmware on the card and software already included in
the ISC software. ISC software is included in the server software kit accompanying the SKA4
baseboard.
This product guide does not discuss the software for the ICMB card. However, this product guide
does provide instructions for removing and installing ICMB hardware.
Figure 8 is a drawing of the ICMB card.

Figure 8. ICMB Card
A filler panel is attached to the ICMB card with two screws. The screws are noted by "A" and the
card is noted by "C" in Figure 8. The panel, noted by "B", is identical to any filler panel for a PCI
add-in board. You attach the filler panel to the rear of a chassis in the same way as you would
attach a PCI add-in board.
