Connecting to the default IP address on a new BladeCenter
A newly-installed (out-of-the-box) BladeCenter unit tries to locate a DHCP server on
the network before it will default to the factory-configured static IP address in the
management module. This is the initial configuration setting. When there is no
DHCP server on the network the BladeCenter unit is connected to, it can take
several minutes before the management module uses the default (static) IP
address. When the DHCP search times out and the management module uses the
static IP address, you can change the management module configuration so that it
will not attempt to locate a DHCP server.
See the Installation Guide and User's Guide or Command-Line Interface Reference
Guide for your management module type for information about connecting to and
configuring the BladeCenter management module.
Registering and profiling the BladeCenter products

Wide Web.

Important:
1. Do not switch control of a shared removable media drive to another blade
server until the activity lights on the drive is off, indicating that no read or write
operations are in progress. Before you remove a hot-swap blade server from
the BladeCenter unit, you must shut down the operating system and turn off the
blade server. You do not have to shut down the BladeCenter unit itself.
2. It can take approximately 20 seconds for the operating system in the
switched-to blade server to recognize the removable media drives and USB port
or the keyboard, video, and mouse.
a. The system-error LED might light, and a KVM allocation error might be
logged if the change in ownership for the removable media drives and USB
port or the keyboard, video, and mouse takes more than 8 seconds. The
system-error LED will go off after the ownership change is complete.
b. It can take up to 48 seconds after a blade server is initially turned on before
you can attempt to switch KVM control to that blade server.
