To start the Configuration/Setup Utility program, complete the following steps:
1. Turn on the server.
2. When the message
Press F1 for Configuration/Setup
is displayed, press F1.
If an administrator password has been set, you must type the administrator
password to access the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
Installing and using the baseboard management controller utility
programs
The baseboard management controller provides basic service-processor
environmental monitoring functions. If an environmental condition exceeds a
threshold or if a system component fails, the baseboard management controller
lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem and also records the error in the
BMC system event log.
The baseboard management controller also provides the following remote server
management capabilities through the OSA SMBridge management utility program:
v
Command-line interface (IPMI Shell)
The command-line interface provides direct access to server management
functions through the IPMI 2.0 protocol. Use the command-line interface to issue
commands to control the server power, view system information, and identify the
server. You can also save one or more commands as a text file and run the file
as a script. For more information about IPMI 2.0, see the
Intelligent Platform
Management Interface Specification (IPMI Specification)
, version 2.0, which is
available at http://www.intel.com.
v
Serial over LAN
Establish a Serial over LAN (SOL) connection to manage servers from a remote
location. You can remotely view and change the BIOS settings, restart the server,
identify the server, and perform other management functions. Any standard Telnet
client application can access the SOL connection.
Important:
The server Ethernet ports are set to DHCP by default. In order to
find the BMC on an existing network, you can identify the server by the default
hostname. The default hostname for each server is the last 8 characters of the
BMC MAC address. The BMC MAC address can be found in the
Configuration/Setup Utility program, on a label on the I/O board, and on a tag
hanging from the front of the server. Once you have deployed your server, make
sure that you remove the BMC MAC address tag from the front of the server so
that it does not impede airflow through the front of the server.
Use the baseboard management controller utility programs to configure the
baseboard management controller, download firmware updates, and remotely
manage a network.
