Configuring your system to enable remote access to the Remote
Supervisor Adapter
The Remote Supervisor Adapter requires initial configuration to enable remote
access through the Ethernet and serial ports. From Table 10, choose the interface
method by which you want to perform remote management; then, perform the
indicated configuration procedure.

Configuring the Ethernet settings
If you have an accessible, active, and configured dynamic host configuration
protocol (DHCP) server on your network, the hostname, IP address, gateway
address, subnet mask, and DNS server IP address are set automatically. You do not
need to perform further configuration tasks to enable the Ethernet connection
because the default value for the
DHCP Setting field is Enabled. If you need to
configure the serial port, go to “Configuring the serial port” on page 73; otherwise,
go to “Completing the installation” on page 76.
If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, complete the following steps
to configure the Ethernet port:
1.
If you completed the update firmware procedure and the Utility program
main window is open, go to step 4; otherwise, continue with step 2.
2. Turn on the server.
3.
Insert the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter Support CD into the CD-ROM drive
and close the CD-ROM drive before the server completes POST. The CD starts
automatically and the IBM Remote Supervisor Utility window opens.
Note: If you do not insert the CD and close the CD-ROM drive before POST
completes, you must restart the server with the CD in the CD-ROM
drive.
