Fitting a Remote Access Card (615095-B21) in a HP Proliant MicroServer
HP have a remote access card kit (615095-B21) which gives you extra functionality and management capabilities above and beyond their standard offering. Below is a series of videos and pictures illustrating how you do this.
First step:
- Unlock the front door of the server and obtain the keyless tool
- Unplug the cables
- Unwind the screws which hold the server in place.
- Now remove the system board tray.
- Turn the server around and unclick the PCI slot holder
- Unscrew the PCI blank plate for PCI slot 2
- Plug the Remote access card into slot 2.
- Now slide the system board back in the bay and re-attach all the cables.
- You then will see the remote access card in bay two, featuring a VGA and additional network port independent of the server’s existing port.
Now we have to switch the server on, configure the card and see how it works – very, very cool!

Hi, cool article on fitting the HP 615095-B21. I see it has a VGA port of its own, do you know what chip drives that? Thanks

People using this video please note that the installer makes a beginners error.
Anti Static bags work like faraday cages – i.e. they protect the item within the cage deflecting any static around the outside. You should never place an component from within the bag ontop of the anti static bag as it places that item as the focus of any redirected static from a much greater area (and HP if suspected would consider you having invalidated any warranty).
