Connecting to the Server Remotely For Setup
This procedure requires the following equipment:
• One RJ-45 Ethernet cable that is connected to your management LAN.
Before you begin
Note
To configure the system remotely, you must have a DHCP server on the same network as the system. Your
DHCP server must be preconfigured with the range of MAC addresses for this server node. The MAC address
is printed on a label that is on the pull-out asset tag on the front panel. This server node has a range of six
MAC addresses assigned to the Cisco IMC. The MAC address printed on the label is the beginning of the
range of six contiguous MAC addresses.
Step 1
Attach a power cord to each power supply in your server, and then attach each power cord to a grounded power outlet.
Wait for approximately two minutes to let the server boot to standby power during the first bootup. You can verify system
power status by looking at the system Power Status LED on the front panel. The system is in standby power mode when
the LED is amber.
Step 2
Plug your management Ethernet cable into the dedicated management port on the rear panel.
Step 3
Allow your preconfigured DHCP server to assign an IP address to the server node.
Step 4
Use the assigned IP address to access and log in to the Cisco IMC for the server node. Consult with your DHCP server
administrator to determine the IP address.
Note
The default user name for the server is admin. The default password is password.
Step 5
From the Cisco IMC Server Summary page, click Launch KVM Console. A separate KVM console window opens.
Step 6
From the Cisco IMC Summary page, click Power Cycle Server. The system reboots.
Step 7
Select the KVM console window.
The KVM console window must be the active window for the following keyboard actions to work.
