Completing the server setup without using the HMC

To access the eBMC without using the HMC, complete the steps in this procedure.

About this task

To access the eBMC without using an HMC, complete the following steps:

Procedure

1. Connect an Ethernet cable between the T2 (ETH0) port on the rear of the system to a PC equipped

with an Ethernet port, assuming that T3 (ETH1) is connected to the HMC.

2. If you haven't already done so, connect the power cables to the power supplies. The panel displays

01 N.

3. Press the up arrow key to select 02 and press Enter.
4. Press Enter again. A < (less than symbol) appears next to N. Press the Up Arrow key. The N changes

to an M.

5. Press Enter.
6. Press Enter twice. 02 displays on the control panel.
7. Press the Up Arrow key until it returns 30 and press Enter.
8. Press enter again. The panel now displays 3000. Press Enter.
9. Record the information that displays. You will need this information for a later step.

10. Move to your Ethernet-equipped device. Open your device's network configuration panel and assign

an IP that is the same as what you recorded in the previous step, but subtract 1. For instance, if you

recorded 169.254.176.9, then assign your laptop 169.254.176.8. Use subnet mask 255.255.0.0 on

the device. This will be the BMC's default value.

11. Use your device to verify that you can connect using the address you used in the previous step, and

then attach a web browser to that IP and open ASMI.

12. Use the ASMI interface to set a new admin password. The initial login is admin/admin.
13. Set a new password. Ensure that you enter an acceptable password before proceeding to the next

step.

14. Configure ETH1 as a static IP. To configure ETH1 as a static IP, complete the following steps:

Note: You will need one available IP address for ETH1 on the BMC.

a. on the BMC, select Settings > Network > Eth1.
