Figure 5-4 Connecting remotely to the Remote Supervisor Adapter in the x455
4. Next to the x455 (IP address 192.168.1.1 in our example), click Login. If you
click the IP address in that row, it connects to the adapter via its Ethernet port.
5. When prompted, enter a valid user ID and password. By default, only one
user ID is configured:
– User ID: USERID (all caps)
– Password: PASSW0RD (all caps and zero, not the letter O)
6. Once you are connected, the main menu of the x455 Remote Supervisor
Adapter should appear.
5.2.3 Installing the device driver
You should install the ASM device driver once the operating system is installed.
The device driver enables communication between the adapter and the installed
operating system (Windows or Linux). In particular, the driver provides:
The ability to gracefully shut down the server
Indications as to whether the operating system is booted
The ability to determine if the operating system is hung and automatically
restart the system
Tip: We strongly recommend that you disable this default user ID and
create new more secure user IDs before you put your server into
production. Access to the Remote Supervisor Adapter should be carefully
restricted.
