3. Access the iSM web interface by entering the IP address in a browser window on a separate computer. Log in with the
default credentials listed on the system chassis tag.
4. Optional: Some management networks disable ICMP ping or other tools administrators might use to find the IP address. In
the absence of these normal tools, use a null modem serial cable and serial session to retrieve the IP address.
