Getting Started
Introduction
This chapter shows how to get the GV Orbit Server up and running for the first time.
Configuring the GV Orbit Server’s BIOS and Management Network
IP Settings
The first time you power up the GV Orbit Server, you must configure the GV Orbit Server’s
management network settings. This allows you to connect to the GV Orbit Server’s admin
interface. Once you have access to the GV Orbit Server’s admin interface, you then
configure the remaining network interfaces as necessary.
GV Orbit Server is shipped with no default IP Address. Set the IP address through the
server’s console menu. This is accessed by connecting a keyboard and monitor directly to
the GV Orbit Server.
About the Server Enterprise Network iDRAC
The Server Enterprise Network
iDRAC
is used to connect to the server’s motherboard
management interface. Using this connection reduces the need for physical access to the
GV Orbit Server. iDRAC alerts administrators about server hardware level issues and enables
them to perform remote system management. For more information about iDRAC, refer to
the
Dell EMC PowerEdge XR2 Installation and Service Manual
page 5. See
First-Time Start-up Configuration
, on page 20 to enable it.
Should you choose to not connect the iDRAC port to your network, you must be prepared
to connect a keyboard, mouse, and monitor directly to the server for emergency
maintenance procedures, should this be necessary, under the supervision of Grass Valley
Technical Support.
