Hook up ethernet, if its not POE, you plug it in, attach all the various usb cables, vga, serial, ps/2, ect ect to the server and let it hang. When your server is unresponsive just go ahead and hit the IP you assigned to your Spider, and you get a full console, virtual media, mass storage emulation, and the ability to mount samba shares and what not into it.

You should invest in a Spider KVM or similar, they hang off the back and don't use any rack space. They can also be POE, so they wont use a plug. That'll provide you out of band management and remote reboots and what not.
How exactly would that work?
